3.Completion of all required submittal, integration, and testing steps as well as receipt of notification from the Engineer is required for acceptance .
4.Perform testing, except for 30 Day ITS burn-in test, in the presence of the Department and document with Department signature. Table 1 ITS TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS MATRIX REQUIRED TEST PREREQUISITES DESCRIPTION Punch List from Engineer’s Site Inspection (ESI) Complete and submit at the time of the Engineer’s Site Inspection (ESI). Include on the ESI Punch List items that must be completed or adjusted before any part of a device or system installation is energized. 5 Day ITS Testing Pre-Notification Submit 5 days in advance of proposed test dates Test form to the Engineer 5 days before each test or inspection that must be witnessed by the Department or authorized representative. ITS Cable and Conductor Test Basic construction of conduits, boxes, wiring, and cabinets. Perform this test after wire has been pulled but before devices are energized The ITS Cable and Conductor Test is used to confirm that cable is not faulty and has not been damaged during installation Engineer’s Site Inspection (ESI) Receipt of all required submittals as noted in Sections 13431, 13553 , 13554 , 13594 , 16530, and completion of basic construction elements The ESI is used to confirm that the device or system has been constructed according to the project requirements and is ready to be energized and begin the integration process. The ESI will note any obvious issues with wiring, configuration, incorrect inven tory, differences from Project Plans, or general cleanliness of the site. Local Field Operations Test (LFOT) Successful completion of local configuration and integration as well as completion of operational punch list items from the ESI The LFOT is used to confirm that the device or system has been configured and integrated according to the project requirements and is ready to be tested centrally. Systems Test (if required) Successful completion of LFOT and integration of device to central TOC control Project specific by Special Provision. Certain projects or types of devices may require a complete system test where multiple elements, applications, or devices are tested simultaneously ITS Integration, Inspection, Testing, and Acceptance ITS TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS MATRIX REQUIRED TEST PREREQUISITES DESCRIPTION Substantial Completion Inspection (SCI) Successful completion of the LFOT, successful integration of device to the Traffic Operations Center, active central communications to device The SCI is used to confirm that the ITS device, subsystem, or system meets the operational parameters described within the project plans, specifications, and Special Provisions. The Contractor must demonstrate the remote device sites communicate to the TOC and operate as a single integrated system as required in the project requirements in addition to having all construction and integration tasks completed. The system will be considered substantially complete and may begin the 30 day I TS burn- in period with the successful completion of this i nspection and testing. 30 Day ITS Burn - In Period Successful Substantial Completion Inspection and submission of the 30 day ITS burn -in test form. The 30 day ITS b urn-in period confirms that the ITS device or system was properly constructed and integrated. Acceptance Satisfactory completion of the 30 day burn- in test, completion of all items on the Engineer’s Site Inspection punch list, and submittal of approved As - Built drawings. Acceptance transfers ownership of the system or devices to the Department. A t that point the warranty begins and the ownership and maintenance of the site or system transfers to the Department . Written notification from the Department to the contractor is required for Final Acceptance to occur . Construction As-Built Drawings Within 5 days after the 30 Day ITS Burn In Test. As - Built drawings will be reviewed, verified, and accepted before final device or system acceptance.
