SUPERVISION OF CONSTRUCTION

 

 

The Monroe City School Board shall require from the Superintendent or the designated construction supervisor, a review of the architect’s activities in his/her supervision of building construction.  The review shall include adequacy of field inspection of the contractor’s operation, administrative activities of the architect relating to construction, and any other matters relating to the interest of the school system.  The Superintendent shall make periodic reports certifying by his/her personal knowledge that the work of the construction contractor and the architect is being performed in accordance with plans, specifications, and contracts.

 

The Board shall require major projects under construction to be inspected on a daily basis by the construction supervisor or other representatives of the Board.  The results of such inspections shall form the basis of reports given to the Board regarding building progress.

 

Requests made by contractors for extensions of time to their contracts, for delay or days missed due to inclement weather, shall be documented on a day by day basis and submitted for the Board’s consideration.  No extension shall be granted where proper documentation has not been submitted and the penalty clause of the contract shall be enforced.

 

Upon completion of the building construction and a final inspection of all its aspects by the architect, contractors, and school officials, a recommendation for this acceptance may be made to the Board.
