1.0 NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF DELIVERY ORDER/FINAL INSPECTION:

1.1  When the contractor is ready for final inspection, forward a request in writing to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative unless you made other arrangements verbally.  The final inspection will normally be requested five days prior to the desired date or as otherwise negotiated with the contracting officer.  Schedule final inspections before the date the Delivery Order expires.  

1.2.  Once the contractor requests a final inspection, the government inspector may then conduct a pre-final inspection.  The contractor will correct the problems identified by the government before final inspection.

1.3.  At a minimum, the final inspection occurs when representatives from Contracting, Civil Engineering and contractor attend.  Notification of discrepancies should result in the completion of punch list items within the established performance period identified in the Delivery Order.  The Contracting Officer reserves the right to both decline the contractor's request for a final or suspend a final inspection when it is evident that the contractor is not ready for a final inspection.
