Tests of Materials. Tests of materials will be made by and at the expense of the Engineer unless otherwise provided. All materials proposed to be used may be inspected and tested at any time and at any place during their preparation, storage and use, unless otherwise specified. All tests of materials will be made in accordance with methods as described or designated in the Specifications. Plant inspection may be made if the production is sufficient to warrant such action or is in the best interests of the County of Xxxxx. Where plant inspection is made, the producer shall furnish and maintain, for the exclusive use of the Inspector in making field tests, accommodations as set forth in Subsection 104.08 titled “Field Office/Field Laboratory.” Where strength requirements are specified for culvert pipe, sewer pipe, or drain tile, the manufacturer will be required to provide a suitable standard testing machine for testing his product and shall keep this machine in good Working condition and accurately calibrated. Labor and materials for performing all tests shall be furnished by the manufacturer. When samples of pipe or tile are sent to the Laboratory for testing, the Contractor or manufacturer shall prepay all transportation charges for the samples. The Contractor shall in no case use materials in the Work until the Engineer has had ample time to perform the necessary sampling and testing. For previously used sources of supply, two weeks shall generally be considered ample time.
Tests of Materials. When tests of materials are necessary, such tests shall be made by and at the expense of the City unless otherwise provided. Contractor shall afford such facilities as the Engineer may require for collecting and forwarding samples, and shall not use the materials represented by the samples until tests have been made and the materials have been found to satisfy the requirements of these Specifications. Contractor shall, in all cases, furnish the required samples without charge. The quantity of materials Contractor must furnish shall be a reasonable amount, deemed by the Engineer, to effectively test such materials to verify compliance with the Specifications and/or meet requirements from non-City funding sources.
Tests of Materials. The Contractor shall, at his expense, perform analyses and tests to demonstrate that all materials are in conformity with the specifications. Should the Contractor desire to use stock materials not manufactured specifically for the work covered by these specifications, he shall submit evidence, satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, that such material conforms to the requirements of the specifications. Detailed tests of these materials will then not be required, if so approved by the Contracting Officer. Tests, except where modified, shall be made as indicated in the respective detailed specifications or on the drawings and, unless otherwise authorized, in the presence of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall furnish specimens and samples for additional independent tests and analyses upon request by the Contracting Officer. Specimens and samples shall be properly labeled and prepared for shipment.
