H. Phase 8, Construction Inspection Services:
COUNTY may not have sufficient staff available at the time of construction to
provide onsite construction inspection or construction testing required to ensure the
CONTRACTOR's compliance with construction plans and specifications. At the sole option of
COUNTY, and upon written authorization and direction as to scope of services,
CONSULTANT may be required to perform construction inspection and construction testing
services for the Capital Projects. It is understood that COUNTY may delete any or all of
construction inspection and construction testing from CONSULTANT's services at any time
prior to award of the construction contract and perform the construction inspection and testing
with its own forces.
The CONSULTANT shall:
1. Provide an Inspector Of Record (IOR) who will provide full time or part time
inspection of the projects, as agreed in writing by the CONSULTANT and the COUNTY. The
IOR shall be completely familiar with the project plans and specifications and knowledgeable
and experienced in the type of construction involved.
2. Provide all quality control testing required during construction. The testing shall
be performed by a qualified, certified testing laboratory.
3. Based upon his/her observations of the progress of construction and the
CONTRACTOR's application for payment, and the IOR's recommendation, determine on a
monthly basis, the amount owing to the CONTRACTOR under the contract documents and
shall recommend, through appropriate certificates, payments on such amounts. Such certificates
shall constitute a representation to the COUNTY that the work has progressed to the point
indicated and that to the best of the CONSULTANT's knowledge information and belief, the
quality of the work is in accordance with the contract documents.
IV. COUNTY'S OBLIGATIONS:
The COUNTY will, for each project:
A. Compensate the CONSULTANT as provided in this Agreement.
