######### Section 106.---ACCEPTANCE OF WORK

*[BOTH VERSIONS]{.mark}*

106.01. Delete Subsection 106.01 and substitute the following:

**106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.** Follow the
requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 Inspection of Construction.

References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other
recognized standard authorities refer to the methods in effect on the
date of solicitation for bids.

Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-sections, dimensions, and
processes or material requirements shown in the contract documents.

Incorporate manufactured material into the work according to the
manufacturer's recommendations or to these specifications, whichever is
more strict.

Plan dimensions and contract specification values are the values to be
strived for and complied with as the design values from which any
deviations are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is
uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or
within the specified tolerance range. The purpose of a tolerance range
is to accommodate occasional minor variations from the median zone that
are unavoidable for practical reasons.

When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire,
plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are identified by
gauge, unit mass, section dimensions, etc.), the identification will be
considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract
tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be
accepted.

The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any time before
final acceptance of the project. When the Government tests work, copies
of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request. Government
tests may or may not be performed at the work site. If Contractor
testing and inspection is verified by the Government, the Contractor's
results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance.
Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process
control.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the
contract unit bid price. Four methods of determining conformity and
accepting work are described in Subsections 106.02 to 106.05 inclusive.
The primary method of acceptance is specified in each Section of work.
However, work may be rejected at any time it is found by any of the
methods not to comply with the contract.

Remove and replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to
prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements
are noted, at no cost to the Government.

> **(a) Disputing Government test results.** If the accuracy of
> Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the
> dispute is unresolved after reasonable steps are taken to resolve the
> dispute, further evaluation may be obtained by written request.
> Include a narrative describing the dispute and a proposed resolution
> protocol that addresses the following:

(1) Sampling method;

(2) Number of samples;

(3) Sample transport;

(4) Test procedures;

(5) Testing laboratories;

(6) Reporting;

(7) Estimated time and costs; and

(8) Validation process.

If the evaluation requires additional sampling or testing be performed,
mutually agree with the Government on witnessing procedures and on
sampling and testing by a third party laboratory. Use a third party
laboratory accredited by the AASHTO accreditation program. Provide proof
of the laboratory's accreditation for the test procedures to be used. Do
not use the same laboratory that produced the disputed Government test
results or that produced the test results used as a basis for the
dispute.

The CO will review the proposed resolution protocol and may modify it
before final approval and execution.

The Government will use the approved resolution protocol test results to
determine the validity of the disputed testing. If the Government test
results are validated, the Contractor will be responsible for all costs
associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If
the Government test results are not validated, the Government will be
responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the
resolution protocol. If the validity of the Government test results
cannot be determined, the Contractor and Government will equally share
all costs associated with developing and carrying out the resolution
protocol.

> **(b) Alternatives to removing and replacing non-conforming work.** As
> an alternative to removal and replacement, the Contractor may submit a
> written request to:
>
> **(1)** Have the work accepted at a reduced price; or
>
> **(2)** Be given permission to perform corrective measures to bring
> the work into conformity.
>
> The request must contain supporting rationale and documentation.
> Include references or data justifying the proposal based on an
> evaluation of test results, effect on service life, value of material
> or work, quality, aesthetics, and other tangible engineering basis.
> The CO will determine disposition of the nonconforming work.
