Further, it is not intended that the Contractor's contractual and statutory obligations are in anyway relieved or foregone by the presence of the Special Inspector. The Contractor has the sole responsibility for deviations from the Official Contract Documents. The Special Inspector does not replace the duties of the Building Official nor the quality control personnel of the Contractor. I. OBLIGATIONS The Special Inspector is obligated to both the Owner and the Building Official for observing that the work is executed in substantive accordance with the Official Contract Documents, which are defined in the Project Manual. It is the obligation of the Special Inspector to notify the Contractor, the Building Official, the Architect -Engineer of Record, and the Owner of the following: A. The use of materials, equipment, or workmanship which do not conform to the Official Contract Documents or which will cause improper construction which is not acceptable. B. Work which is not being done in accordance with the approved Official Contract Documents. C. The recommended removal or repair of faulty construction or of construction performed without inspection and not capable of being inspected or tested in place. D. File reports hereinafter described with the Building Official, and the Architect -Engineer of Record and the Owner. E. Write and file such other structural reports as may be required by the Building Official. F. Make other structural inspections as required by the Building Official. II. REPORTING INFORMATION AND OBSERVATIONS The Special Inspector's reports are secondary to actual observation during construction. However, they are of extreme importance in that they enable the Building Official, the Architect -Engineer of Record, and Owner to keep current with the work while it is in progress and will be of value in case of changes in the structure or its use in the future. The report may consist of a record of the progress, working conditions, observations given to the contractors, deviations from the Official Contract Documents, and problems encountered. The reports shall be in writing and shall be made out promptly at the end of the period covered. The reports may consist of and or all of the following: A. Report of each inspection. B. Jobsite log of area inspected. C. Special records, mill tests, concrete tests, welding tests and reports, soil compaction tests, soil densification test and reports, and welding reports. D. Record of placing and curing concrete. E. Changes made in the field during a particular observation. F. Photographs. G. Erection of structural steel. Reports shall be filed weekly. III. PREPARATION CHECKLIST A. Note permits which have been obtained B. Licensed contractor's representative and contact person C. Adequate supervision/organization/men/equipment D. Approved Official Construction Documents/shop drawings/ shoring and reshoring plan/activity schedule E. Log/daily diary set up F. Arrangements for testing have been made G. Preconstruction meeting/construction coordination meetings IV. DETAILED INSPECTION CHECKLIST The Special Inspector shall inspect the following: / A. Foundation 1. Excavation/subsurface preparation/bearing capacity 2. Independent testing records/approvals (density tests, and soil densification records/approvals 3. Placement and sizes of anchor bolts/rebar/dowels - grade of steel 4. Concrete cover 5. Provision for utilities/conduit in structural elements (note structural integrity of footing) 6. Moisture protection 7. Excavation, effect of construction on existing structures 8. Grade and elevations verified by Contractor 9. Review of soil reports/borings/density test reports 10. A testing laboratory will provide the inspection, tests and reports of the soil densification. A testing laboratory will make the required soil density (compaction) tests. Include those reports with those required herein. J B. Concr Proper inspection requires adequate inspection personnel during the placing of concrete and finishing. It includes preparations prior to the start of placement such as proper formwork, placing reinforcing, cleaning the surface of the formwork, etc., as well as proper protection and curing of the finished concrete. / 1. Rebar a. check shipment mill inspection/damage/excessive rust b. size/grade/bending c. placement (location - disturbance after placement) d. support/tie/degree of support and stability during pour e. cover f. length and splices/laps/hooked bars g. check from engineering drawings h. clean before pour i. record and deviations from drawings such as additional steel or larger diameter bars ✓2. Provide signed and sealed letter from "shoring" specialty engineer indicating adecuacy of shoring and reshoring. /3. Placement a. methods used for transportation, handling and placing concrete shall be reviewed for avoidance of whatever may cause poor consistency control or segregation. b. the number and condition of concrete vibrators shall be verified including extra stand-bys to eliminate air and rock pockets. c. preplanned construction joints or emergency joints should be substantiated. Joints shall be located and made so at least to impair the strength of the structure. Joints shall be prepared prior to making the secondary pour. d. drop, vibration, consolidation (metal deck will not withstand heavy concrete loads - CAUTION) _e. tests conducted f. water added g. age h. disruption to rebar i. clean up prior to placement j. slump test on deck (not at truck) prior to placement 4.
