REPORTING
Results of field tests wil' be reported verbally to available personnel at the site. Written reports of
field tests and observations will be distributed within five business days. Test reports will be
distributed via e-mail. Please provide Terracon with a distribution list prior to the beginning of the
project. The list will need to include the company name, address, contact person name, phone
number, and e-mail address for each person.
Terracon will only provide testing when called by the contractor or client's representative. The
extent of our observations and documentation will be limited to the items observed during the site
visits. It is the responsibility of your representative to schedule retests in a similar manner to
scheduling our original services. Terracon shall not be held responsible for retests not performed
because of a failure to schedule our services or any subsequent damage caused because of lack
of retesting.
SITE ACCESS AND SAFETY
Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents
necessary to commence and complete the services and will execute any necessary site access
agreement. Terracon will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures for its own
employees but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for
any third parties, including client's contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site.
TESTING AND OBSERVATION
Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such
procedures indicate conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were
performed. Terracon will provide test results and opinions based on tests and field observations
only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or
exhaustive and are conducted to reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client agrees to the level or
amount of testing performed and the associated risk. Client is responsible (even if delegated to
contractor) for notifying and scheduling Terracon so Terracon can perform these services.
Terracon shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of client's contractor's work or
their adherence to the project documents, and Terracon's performance of testing and observation
services shall not relieve contractor in any way from its responsibility for defects discovered in its
work or create a warranty or guarantee. Terracon will not supervise or direct the work performed
by contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods.
