Unless otherwise specified, all on site testing to establish the quality of material
to be incorporated in the Work will be as required by the Director or designated representative.
The frequency, time, locations and testing procedures will be coordinated and approved
by the Inspector. The testing shall be accomplished by City of Austin personnel or
an independent laboratory, which is designated by the Director and certified in accordance
with ASTM E-329, "Standard Recommended Practice for Inspection and Testing Agencies
for Concrete, Steel, and Bituminous Materials Used in Construction." Payment for all
initial testing will be the responsibility of the City. All retesting of unacceptable
material shall be the responsibility of the Owner/Developer. Restoration or patching
required as a result of the testing shall be at no expense to the City.
The extent of investigations and retesting, related to unacceptable and/or failed
tests shall be determined by the Director. The Director may require a minimum of two
passing retests for each failure before acceptance will be made by the City.
The manufactured materials to be incorporated in the Work shall meet the requirements
of the Contract Documents (e.g., reinforcing steel, expansion joint materials, concrete
pipe, cement, miscellaneous steel, cast iron materials, flexible base, etc.). The
Owner/Developer may be required to furnish a manufacturer's certificate stating that
material meets the requirements specified for the Work.
