5  Construction Review

The Independent Certifier shall:

5.1  Visit the Site and monitor the Works for their compliance with the Authority Construction Requirements, the Service Provider Proposals and the Approved RDD20.  The frequency and timing of the Independent Certifier's visits are dependent on the progress of construction on Site.  The Construction Contractor shall agree a programme with the Independent Certifier for the inspection of key construction processes and the completed [Phases of the] Works and shall give the Independent Certifier advance notice of these Works being carried out on Site.  The Independent Certifier shall identify any aspect of the Works which needs to be inspected before being covered over by subsequent activity so that he may satisfy himself that these have been constructed in accordance with the Design and Construction Quality Plan without the need for opening up.

5.2  Randomly check that the Works are being undertaken in accordance with the Design and Construction Quality Plan that has been agreed by the Authority and the Service Provider.

5.3  Review the written mechanical and electrical engineering services testing and commissioning procedure. Undertake selective witnessing of the Mechanical and Electrical services testing and commissioning. The Independent Certifier has indicated that these sampling proportions should amount to approximately [fifty] percent [(50%)]. The Independent Certifier shall review [one hundred] percent [(100%)] of all test results. If in the professional judgment of the Independent Certifier, because of the results of witnessing (or because of other circumstances) a different sampling percentage is appropriate he shall provide a detailed report in respect of that and any change in the percentage sampling resulting in a change of fees will be borne by the Service Provider, the Authority or the Construction Contractor as they shall agree, failing such agreement, as determined by the Dispute Resolution Procedure.

5.4  Inspect rectification works which have previously prevented the Independent Certifier from certifying the Project as complete. Concurrent with the issue of the Certificate of Practical Completion, agree a list of Snagging Matters with the Service Provider together with its programme for implementation and issue a Snagging Notice in accordance with clause 21.10 (Snagging Notice) of the Project Agreement.

5.5  Check the production of the relevant operating manuals, relevant approvals, test results, inspection records and as built drawings and monitor the timely handover of this documentation.
