Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by Owner.

Owner shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the Work. Special, full size and performance tests shall be performed as described in the Job Order. E. Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by Owner not to conform to Job Order requirements, unless Owner consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in Contract price.

Unless otherwise specified in the Job Order, Owner shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the Job Order or that portion of the Work Owner determines can be accepted separately.
