Thus, a report becomes a vital part of the inspection process. It is, therefore, essential that a written report be, prepared by the inspectors who, after all, are the. actual observers of the conditions of the completed projects. The contents “of the ceport. shall include the nemorandun/letter,. background information contalWing the salient features of the prgject, fihdings, recommendations and .the appendix which may include photographs, calculations, reduced plans, chart, test reports and other related documents, if nedsssary. The salient features of the project should show. the category of the project, location, manner of implementation, contract amount/appropriation, name of contractor, date the project started/completed, percent accomplishment, slippage and other information related to project which may prove useful. The most indicative aspect of the findings is the quality of the completed works. It reflects not only the quality of materials used but likewise the overall workamanship applied in ths project. Each pages of the report should have the initial (s)/signature(s) of 211 ths members of the Inspectorate Team to attest for the authenticity of the document. Ths report shall include a provision that the Certificate of Fina) Inspection shall be issued only until after all the defects/deficiencies have been corrected by the contractor, if there are any adverse findings in the project. The sample of a report format containing / project information, findings, recommendations and annexes which can be used in the, project inspection/assessment is shown in Annex es } 17 RR co Mmm STEP 4 STEP 5 INSTITUTION OF CORRECTIVE MEASURES ON NOTED DEFECTS/ DEFICIENCIES Any . defective works, attributed to poor workmanship, use of substandard materials, improper construction method, among others found by the inspectors during the conduct of joint final inspection shall be removed and replaced immediately to conform with the specifications, or shall be corrected or rectified in ‘an acceptable manner approved by the Engineer. During the process of correcting the noted defects/deficienciss, ‘the Projact Engineer of the Implementing Office and the-Consultant, if any should monitor the activity to assure compliance to plans and specifications. | Photographs should be takan before, uring and after correction .to substantiate such corrective actions undertaken by the Contractor. The Contractor shall submit to the Head ‘of. the implomenting office, a report of corrective measures undertaken of the noted defects/deficiencies togather with supporting photographs duly certified by the Consultant, if any and the concerned. Project/Rasident Engineers. Said reports and photographs will be indorsed to the same Inspectorate Team together with a vequest for re-inspection of the project for verification/evaluation of the corrections undertaken by the Contractor as to the compliance to the recommended actions. The Inspectorate Tsam shall submit a report to the Head of the implementing office certifying that the noted defscts/deficiencies in thea project was rectified. by- the: Contractor in accordance. to the recommended corrections, hovever, if the team is not satisfied with such corrections, appropriate recommendations shall be given.

This last phase of inspection ic undertaken immediately after the expiration of the warranty period, but only after the Contractor had requested “the concerned Implementing’ Office ‘for inspection for final acceptance. . xe atten therefore imperative for - the Inspectorate Team te conduct thorough evaluation of the project taking'into consideration the previous assessment conducted and remadial measures + of actions undertaken by the Contractor. on fhe Roted defects/deficiencies, if there is any. The Team should likewise check the extent of defects that have occurred during the warranty period’ and find out whether such defects have -bean rectified prior to acceptance. . This should be done in order to ensure that only projects conforming to. the established standards cet forth by the DPW! shall be accepted, considering ‘that the DPWH will be responsible for theic maintenance after the issuance of the Certificate of Acceptance.
