All materials or equipment proposed to be used may be tested at any time during their preparation or use. Products may be sampled either prior to shipment or after being received at the site of the Work. All testing shall be performed by an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable to and paid for by the City. All re-tests on account of failed tests shall be paid for by the CM/GC.

TESTING - GENERAL. The Design/Build Entity shall provide such equipment and facilities as the Design Build Entity’s Architect/Engineer or Principal Representative may require for conducting field tests and for collecting and forwarding samples to be tested. Samples themselves shall not be incorporated into the Work after approval without the permission of the Design Build Entity’s Architect/Engineer and Principal Representative.
