The Site Inspector shall exercise the authority to reject both unsatisfactory workmanship and materials. Such rejections must be made immediately upon discovery documented and referenced to the appropriate plans or specification requirement. Documentation should include photographs where possible. However, the work shall not be directed to stop unless the non-conforming work will be covered up or the correction of the non-conforming work will have a critical impact on completion of the project. The Resident Engineer will ensure that the inspection of the work is organized as to support the Contractor’s schedule and that inspection forces are available and sufficient to meet the schedule. Every effort should be made to cooperate with the Contractor so that inspection activities will dovetail with the Contractor’s work. The inspection staff must be aware of the daily and weekly schedules provided by the Contractor and schedule their own work accordingly. The Site Inspectors will provide inspection reports indicating work performed inspections and tests carried out, non- conformances noted, and any other information relative to the quality of the work. Inspection staff is required to inspect all materials delivered to the work site and to confirm that the materials meet the specified requirements. All incoming materials should have required documentation including certification that materials have been manufactured/processed in accordance with the specified quality
