Certification Documentation Procedure

There are four stages to certification. These are:

• Detailed Design - Water and Detailed Design - Sewer;

• Pre-construction;

• Preliminary Acceptance;

• Final Acceptance.

Words used in these documents have the same meaning (unless otherwise indicated by context) as in the Developer Construct Agreement.

The Corporation will not act as an inspector or an approver of that design, construction or administration of the works involved. The Corporation acts in reliance of the Consultant certification and representations made via the Certification Documents.

At the end of each stage and before proceeding to the next stage the Consultant must complete the Certification Documentation and submit those to the Corporation.

The Certification Documents form part of the Agreement entered into between the Owner, the Consultant and the Corporation.

The certification documents include a checklist of items and are a representation by the Consultant to the Corporation that the design and construction of the works accord with the Developer Construct Agreement and the design requirements of the Corporation. Any variation to the standard certification list must be detailed and attached and signed by the Consultant. In the checklist the Consultant must indicate:

• "tick" that the activity is complete and accords with the requirements of the Corporation; or

• "cross" to designate - not applicable;

• mark "V" where a variation or further detail is attached;

• where a space is left for details they must be inserted. If insufficient room, attach details.

The checklist is a minimum standard and the Consultant remains responsible for any items not noted in the checklist as part of their total certification.

The "As Constructed" plans provided by the Consultant shall form part of the certification documents.

If at any stage during the course of the design or works any certified item by the Consultant has changed or no longer is correct, the Consultant must notify the Corporation in writing.
