9.6
Inspection Steps. The inspector's tasks can be divided
into eight general steps, which are summarized in Table 16 and
discussed in more detail below. Special equipment required in
each of these steps is also listed in the table.
A form that
may be useful in reviewing the contract is provided in Figure 21,
and one for organizing inspection data is provided in Figure 22.
9.6.1
Review Specification and Correct Deficiencies, If Any.
The first part of any inspector's job is to read and understand
the contract specification. If deficiencies are found,
resolution of the deficiencies between the contracting officer
and the contractor is needed prior to start of work. Any changes
in the contract specification must be documented in writing and
signed by the two parties or their representatives. Copies of
these agreements should be kept in the inspector's records. In
addition to reviewing the specification, the inspector must also
review the contract submittal. The form shown in Figure 21 may
help an inspector to identify key specification requirements and
essential information from the submittals, and to prepare for the
preconstruction conference. Note that at this time, all the
information needed to complete the form may not be available.
However, the information should be available before the start of
the job.
9.6.2
Visit Job Site. It is important for the contractor to
visit the job site with an inspector prior to the preconstruction
conference so that the scope of the job and any constraints are
understood. Potential problems that are found, such as
difficulty with access to the job site, can then be resolved at
the preconstruction conference. Such visits have been shown to
be effective in reducing problems during the job.
