<br /> 15.3.1 For the duration of the Work, the Professional and their representatives, other designated
<br /> representatives of the County and authorized representatives of any regulatory agency shall at all times
<br /> be given access to the Work. The Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such access and
<br /> observation of the Work and also for any inspection or testing by others.
<br /> 15.4 Uncovering the Work
<br /> 15.4.1 If any work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the prior
<br /> written approval of the Professional, or if any work is covered contrary to the request of the Project
<br /> Manager, the work shall, if requested by the Professional or the Project Manager, be uncovered for
<br /> observation, inspection, testing or approval and replaced at the Contractor's expense.
<br /> 15.4.2 If any work has been covered which either the Professional or the Project Manager has not
<br /> specifically requested to observe, or if the Professional or the Project Manager considers it necessary or
<br /> advisable that covered work be inspected or tested by others, the Contractor, upon written request of the
<br /> Professional or the Project Manager, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation,
<br /> inspection or testing that portion of the work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and
<br /> equipment. If it is found that such work is defective, the Contractor shall bear the expense of such
<br /> uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such
<br /> work is not found to be defective, the Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an
<br /> extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation,
<br /> inspection,testing and reconstruction, if it makes a claim as provided in Articles 11, 12 and 13.

<br /> suitable material, suitable equipment, make prompt payments to subcontractors for labor, material or
<br /> equipment, or if the Contractor violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, the County may
<br /> order the Contractor to stop the work until the cause for such order has been eliminated. However, this
<br /> right of the County to stop the work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of the County to exercise
<br /> this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other party. The Contractor shall have no right to claim
<br /> an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this
<br /> paragraph.
<br /> 15.6 Correction or Removal of Defective Work
<br /> 15.6.1 When directed by the Professional, the Contractor shall promptly, without cost to the County and
<br /> as specified by the Professional either correct the defective work whether fabricated, installed or
<br /> completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective work. If the Contractor does not
<br /> correct such defective work or remove and replace such defective work within a reasonable time, all as
<br /> specified in a written notice from the Professional, the County may have the deficiency corrected. All
<br /> direct and indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by the Contractor or deducted from payment to
<br /> the Contractor. The Contractor will also bear the expense of correcting or removing and replacing all
<br /> work of others destroyed or damaged by the correction, removal or replacement of the defective work.
