The Contractor should be advised, in writing, of the work required, the necessity for such work, and the sanctions provided for by Article 105-16 of the Specifications. The Contractor should be given a reasonable time to begin and adequately pursue the required work. If the Contractor fails to begin the work within the time limit specified, the Engineer should, with the approval of the Division Engineer, take whatever steps are necessary and available to have the work performed by others. Any costs incurred by the Department for work performed by others as provided above in excess of the costs that would have been incurred had the work been performed by the Contractor will be deducted from monies due the Contractor on his contract. This article of the Specifications places a responsibility both on the Contractor and the Engineer to have required maintenance work performed. 105-17 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE The Chief Engineer has delegated the final inspection and acceptance responsibility to the Division Engineer on Purchase Order Projects and resurfacing projects with 100% State funds. The Roadway Construction Engineers and Bridge Construction Engineers will have this responsibility on all other projects. The Roadway Construction Engineer is charged with the responsibility of inspecting all roadway work with the exception of gravity retaining walls, pile panel/pile timber walls, structural plate pipe, and overhead sign structures. These roadway items, as well as all reinforced concrete culverts, reinforced concrete retaining walls, proprietary walls (i.e. Reinforced Earth, TRES, Double Wall, etc.), and bridge work are to be inspected by the Bridge Construction Engineer. See Preconstruction Conference in the Records and Report Section of this Manual for more details. TWELVE MONTH GUARANTEE Many contracts contain a Twelve Month Guarantee Provision which covers major components of work for which the Contractor is wholly responsible. See Twelve Month Guarantee in the Records and Reports Section of this Manual for more information SECTION 106 CONTROL OF MATERIAL 106-1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The contract provides Specifications for all materials that will be incorporated into a project.
