Wherever "Standards” are indicated herein for reference, the referenced portion shall have the same force and effect as if it were included, herein, in its entirety, latest revision if the date of publication is not shown. H. The Specifications included in these Contract Documents establish the minimum performance and quality requirements for materials and equipment with the minimum standards for quality of the workmanship and appearance. Generally, there has been no attempt to separate the Specification sections into groups for the work of separate subcontractors, or for work to be performed by the various trades. Should there be any question as to the interpretation of any particular Specification section or part of Specification section, such question should be directed to the Department prior to the submittal of a proposal for the work under this Contract. I. Any part of the work which is not mentioned in the Specifications but is shown on the Plans, or any part not shown on the Plans but described in the Specifications, or any part not shown on the Plans nor described in the Specifications, but which is necessary or normally required as a part of such work, or is necessary or required to make each installation satisfactorily and legally operable, shall be performed by the Contractor as incidental work without extra cost to MDWASD, as if fully described in the Specifications and shown on the Plans, and the expense thereof shall be included in the applicable unit prices or lump sum bid for the work. J. Testing 1. Testing procedures shall be submitted to the Engineer as Shop Drawings and will be subject to review and approval. The Department reserves the right to require test procedure and equipment changes and revisions to the extent considered appropriate by the Engineer whose decision shall be final. The Contractor is advised that all testing shall be carried out in accordance with the best practices of the trade, best management practices (bmp) and as recommended in writing by the engineering/technical/test staff of the manufacturer of the equipment and he should plan and price his test work accordingly. In no case will test recommendations of a manufacturer's sales or management groups be considered sufficient. All necessary temporary power sources, load banks, test materials, test instrumentation, qualified test personnel including manufacturer's representatives, fuels and lubricants shall be provided by the Contractor and shall be as approved by the Engineer and, if not approved, the Contractor shall change the item(s) to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Where required by the Engineer, testing shall be carried out utilizing Contractorsupplied power sources and load banks prior to any connection with FPL. The Contractor shall include in his prices bid all costs for testing and no extra compensation will be allowed. 2. Factory testing of equipment is in all cases required and test data from these tests shall be provided to the Engineer prior to shipment. The Department will decide when to send its personnel or representatives to the factory for witness testing of equipment. Travel expenses for Department personnel or representatives are paid for by the Department. Repeat tests due to unsuccessful tests will be borne by the Contractor. To establish a base line, the Bidder will assume that any piece of equipment with an invoice cost to the Contractor of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or more will require witnessed testing. The MDWASD will in the Specifications try in all cases to note which items will require testing. 3. On site testing shall conform to the protocol approved by the Engineer and shall include testing and calibration prior to energizing of individual sections followed by testing and calibration as a whole system or group of systems. The Contractor shall supply all material, equipment, power, time, and fully qualified specialist personnel to perform all system integration work as necessary to provide systems that talk to one another and correctly react to one another, including systems that must communicate with, and react to existing systems, and systems being or to be installed by others. It is an absolute requirement that upon completion, all systems installed in the Work be able to correctly communicate and react to one another and to systems in existence, being or to be installed, external to the Work. Final testing and calibration will be performed with the equipment energized and will only take place when the Engineer is satisfied with the results of earlier tests. Full written reports of tests and results shall be furnished by the Contractor to the MDWASD. All costs for this testing, calibration, system integration and reporting, including the costs for factory and specialist personnel required during testing, calibration and system integration, shall be included in the prices bid and no extra compensation will be allowed. Any delays or costs occasioned by test procedures or results not being satisfactory to the Engineer shall rest solely with the Contractor and no extra time or compensation will be allowed. All on site testing shall be witnessed by MDWASD, and the Contractor shall make timely arrangements and fully coordinate tests with the Engineer. 4. After installation is completed, the Contractor shall provide records of non- destructive electrical insulation tests performed by a certified institution approved by the Engineer, witnessed by MDWASD personnel and attesting that the dielectric condition of the equipment and wiring is acceptable.
