Soil compaction testing performed by the Owner is deemed to be for the convenience of the Owner for documentation of the progress and performance of the work. Soil compaction testing results will be made available to the Contractor. However,the Owner and Engineer make no representations that the number of tests taken will be sufficient to accurately characterize the condition of any trench,and the Contractor shall take any supplemental test it deems necessary to monitor its own performance. The Owner may,at its discretion,eliminate soil and compaction testing on any part or the entire project. The presence or absence of soil and compaction testing or the approval of the results thereof shall in no way reduce the Contractor's obligation to correct trench settlement as described in these Special Provisions. 1.2 FINAL TESTING AND START-UP A.
