The Engineer of Record shall provide certification that all materials and construction conform to the approved plans and specifications and with these minimum street standards.

The Engineer of Record shall furnish full-time inspection on the job as required by state law. This law is interpreted by the City to mean that a representative of the Engineer of record must be on the job whenever a critical construction activity is taking place.

All field tests required for a project shall be witnessed by the City, the Engineer of Record, and the Contractor, or their authorized representatives.

A 24 hour notice is required on all tests. Calls to the City for the purpose of setting test times shall be made to the City Engineer's office by 10:00 a.m. for test on the following day. Tests delayed by weather or other factors will be rescheduled on the same basis. If a representative of the City cannot be present, the City Engineer may authorize the Engineer of Record to witness the test and certify to the City the results.

It is the responsibility of the Engineer of Record and the Contractor to coordinate the scheduling of such tests with the City.
