Common use of Testing and Observation Clause in Contracts

Testing and Observation. CLIENT understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. CLIENT is responsible (even if delegated to contractor) for requesting any additional testing services that CLIENT deems appropriate for the Project beyond that provided in the Scope of Services. MSEG’s performance of testing and observation services shall not relieve CLIENT’s contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects in its work or create a warranty or guarantee by MSEG. MSEG will not supervise or direct the work performed by CLIENT’s contractor or its subcontractors, and neither any testing nor construction observation performed by MSEG shall result in MSEG being or becoming responsible for means and methods of construction.
