Further, the Engineer has the right to make inspections at <br />unannounced times and to choose the units to be Inspected at random. <br />3.1.2.4 If separate, sealed floatation units’are used, prior to the start of <br />the manufacturing of or the ordering of such units, one unit of each <br />size and type shall be sent to the Engineer for testing. The unit(s) <br />shall be cut open to check on floatation density and absorbancy, <br />completeness of foaming, shell thickness, etc. If the units meet the <br />intent of the specifications, the Engineer shall give the manufacturer <br />written permission to proceed with manufacturing the units or ordering <br />the units if purchased from another manufacturer. <br />If units do not meet the specifications, changes shall be made in the <br />materials and/or fabrication until units, chosen thereafter at random, <br />do meet the requirements of the specification. Units purchased from <br />other manufacturers shall be so modified that they do meet specifica­ <br />tions or units from other manufacturers which do meet specifications <br />shall be substituted. Delays and costs due to tests, retests, modifi­ <br />cations, substitutions and shipping shall be borne by the manufacturer <br />of the floating piers. <br />3.1.2.5 Additional floatation units may be destructively tested at the <br />jobsite from a random selection by the Engineer in accordance with <br />Article 3.1.2.5.1. Additional testing will be at the discretion of <br />the Engineer with approval of the Owner. If units tested meet the <br />specifications, the cost of testing as well as the cost of floatation <br />units destructively tested will be borne by the Owner. If units do <br />not meet the specifications, additional units will be tested in <br />accordance with Articles 3.1.2.5.2 and 3.1.2.5.3. The costs of such <br />testing shall be borne by the manufacturer. <br />3.1,2.5.1 The Engineer may select at random one of each type floatation unit <br />for removal and destructive testing out of every 100 floatation <br />units shipped. <br />3.1.2.5.2 The finding of a unit which does not meet specifications shall be <br />cause to choose three additional units for testing above the number <br />originally required. <br />3.1.2.5.3 If any of the three additional units are not found to meet specifica­ <br />tions then the pier manufacturer must stop manufacture, purchase or <br />installation of additional units until he/she can prove all previously <br />installed units are satisfactory and that future units snail meet <br />specifications. The method of proving units are satisfactory shall be <br />agreed upon by the Engineer and pier manufacturer. <br />- 14 -
