East Fiber Extension <br />Elk River, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br />7.7 If any work is covered contrary to the written instructions of the Engineer, it must, if requested by <br />the Engineer, be uncovered for the Engineer's observation and replaced at theContractor's expense. <br /> <br />7.8 If the Engineer considers it necessary or advisable that covered work be inspected or tested by <br />others, the Contractor, at the Engineer's request, will uncover, expose or otherwise make available for <br />observation, inspection or testing as the Engineer may require, that portion of the work in question, <br />furnishing all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment. If it is found that such work is defective, <br />the Contractor will bear all expenses of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing <br />and of satisfactory reconstruction; if, however, such work is not found to be defective, the Contractor <br />will be allowed an increase in the contract price or an extension of the contract time, or both, directly <br />attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction and an <br />appropriate Change Order shall be issued. <br />8.

The Contractor may recommend the substitution <br />of a material, article, or piece of equipment of equal substance and function for those referred to in the <br />Contract Documents by reference to brand name or catalogue number, and if, in the opinion of the <br />Engineer and Owner, such material, article, or piece of equipment is of equal substance and function to <br />the specified, the Engineer may approve its substitution and use by the Contractor.

The Contractor warrants that if substitutes are approved, no major changes in the <br />function or general design of the project will result.
