Special Inspections and Materials Tests Clause Samples

The "Special Inspections and Materials Tests" clause establishes the requirement for specific inspections and testing of construction materials to ensure compliance with project specifications and building codes. Typically, this clause outlines which materials or construction activities require third-party testing, who is responsible for arranging and paying for these services, and how the results are to be documented and reported. By mandating these inspections and tests, the clause helps verify the quality and safety of the work, reducing the risk of structural failures and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Special Inspections and Materials Tests. 6.2.1 The special inspections and material tests will be conducted according to the project’s construction documents and specifications and according to standard material testing and inspection practices. Additional inspections/tests may be requested by the DFCM. 6.2.2 Contractor’s superintendent will contact Consultant to schedule special inspections and material tests. Consultant will then schedule the appropriate personnel to complete the inspections or tests. Consultant will inform personnel of type of inspection, time requested, and location of work. The Consultant shall respond to all inspection requests no later than one (1) business day after receiving the request. If the Consultant cannot respond within this time period, he shall find a qualified Subconsultant and notify the Building Official prior to the inspection. 6.2.3 Consultant shall provide an on-site sign-in log for inspection/testing personnel. The log shall include the time the inspector arrived and left, the type of inspection or test, and the inspector’s name. The inspection/testing personnel shall complete the log entries before leaving the site. 6.2.4 Consultant shall document all failed inspections and tests on monthly invoices and the expense associated with retesting.
