1.0  NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF DELIVERY ORDER/FINAL INSPECTION:

1.1  When the contractor is ready for final inspection, a request will be forwarded in writing to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative unless prior verbal arrangements have been made. The final inspection will normally be requested five days prior to the desired date or as otherwise negotiated with the contracting officer.  Final inspections shall be scheduled prior to the completion date of the applicable Delivery Order.

1.2  Once the contractor has requested a final inspection, the government inspector may then conduct a pre-final inspection.  Should discrepancies be noted, the contractor will correct the problems prior to final inspection.

1.3  The final inspection will be performed with representation from Contracting, Civil Engineering and the contractor as a minimum.  Should discrepancies be noted, the punch list items are to be completed within the established performance period of 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.
