sole responsibility for any deviations from the. Contract Documents. The Special Inspector does
not replace the duties or the quality control personnel of the Contractor. The Special Inspector
shall not have control or charge of, and shall not be responsible for, construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or safety precautions.
B. OBLIGATIONS OF THE SPECIAL INSPECTOR: The Special Inspector is responsible to both the

Documents or that will cause jimproper construction.
2. Any work which is not being performed by the Contractor in accordance'with the'approved
Contract Documents.
3. The recommended removal or repair of faulty construction, or of construction performed
without inspection and not capable of being inspected or tested in -place.
4. The request for interpretations from the Architect/Engineer of Record.
C. REPORTING INFORMATION AND OBSERVATIONS: The Special Inspector's reports are a follow-
up to actual observations during construction; however, they are of extreme importance in that
they enable the governmental agency having jurisdiction over the project, the Owner and the
Architect/Engineer of Record to keep current with the work, while it is in -progress and will be of
value in case of changes in the structure or its use in the future. The report shall consist of one
or all of the following entities:
1. Record of progress.
2. Observations given to the Contractor.
3. Deviations from the Contract Documents with reasons and problems encountered, with
recommendations for the Contractor to initiate proposed solutions or requests for
information from the Architect/Engineer.
4. Log of area inspected.
S. Special Records (concrete tests) from the testing agency.
6. Record of placing concrete.
7. Reports of Engineering Testing Laboratory inspections, evaluations, and results..
8. Pertinent photographs, where needed.

D. REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
Unless specifically stated otherwise by the- Engineer of Record, the following list of minimum
inspections shall be performed by the Special Inspector or his/her authorized representative:
1.) Pre -excavation inspection of concrete spalling and marking of areas for excavation.
2.) Preliminary excavation inspection to locate affected Post Tensioned (PT) cables -N/A.
3.) .Marking -of affected PT cables for temporary lock offs -N/A.
4.) Inspection of completed concrete excavations to confirm the proper geometric shapes and
the reinforcing steel is free of bond inhibiting corrosion.
5.) Shoring and reshoring installation.
6.) Concrete placement post -pour inspection.
7.) Re -Tensioning of PT cables by certified PT Subcontractor -N/A.
8.) Concrete placement inspections are not required -where concrete volume is less and 6 CY.

4.) Check construction, size and location of openings, sleeves, joints, blockouts and
keyways.
5.) Have all foreign material such as paper, saw dust, loose tape, wire and plastic
removed.
