APPENDIX D – CHECKLIST FOR MECHANICAL COMPLETION

D.1 PURPOSE

The checklists of general and specific procedures are intended to define the operations and tests to be
performed by the CONTRACTOR as the construction of the WORK or of part thereof is being completed.

These lists are intended to show the operations and tests required to demonstrate that the WORK has
been provided and constructed in accordance with the drawings, specifications and applicable codes and
generally with all terms and conditions of the CONTRACT which are applicable at the considered stage of
progress of work.

The performance to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER of the said operations and tests is one of the
conditions for issuance by the ENGINEER of the certificate of MECHANICAL COMPLETION of the entire
WORK and/or of the interim statement of MECHANICAL COMPLETION of any part of the WORK.

CONTRACTOR will have to finalize detailed check lists which have to be approved by ANCAP.

Such checklists shall cover all the procedures to be developed on the basis outlined in D2 and in D3
hereafter when applicable.
