A. Submit written certification that project is substantially complete, and request in writing a final inspection. The Contracting Officer’s Representative will make an inspection within 10 days of receipt of request.

1. When work is determined to be substantially complete, Contracting Officer will prepare a list of deficiencies to be corrected before final acceptance and issue a Letter of Substantial Completion. Contractor shall complete the work described on the list of deficiencies within a timeframe to be determined by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor fails to complete the work within this time frame, the Contracting Officer may replace, repair, or remedy the work with an appropriate reduction in the contract price.

2. If work is not determined to be substantially complete, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor in writing. After completing work, the Contractor shall resubmit certification and request a new final inspection.

3. After all deficiencies have been corrected, a Letter of Acceptance will be issued.

1.4 PROJECT RECORD DOCUMENT SUBMITTALS

A. General: Provide access to record documents for the Contracting Officer's Representative reference during normal working hours. Submit Record Documents to the Contracting Officer prior to final acceptance.

B. Record Drawings: Maintain a clean, undamaged set of blue or black line whiteprints of Contract Drawings and Shop Drawings. Mark the set to show the actual installation where the installation varies substantially from the Work as originally shown. Mark which drawing is most capable of showing conditions fully and accurately. Where Shop Drawings are used, record a cross-reference at the corresponding location on the Contract Drawings. Give particular attention to concealed elements that would be difficult to measure and record at a later date.

1. Mark record sets with red erasable pencil. Use other colors to distinguish between variations in separate categories of the Work.

2. Mark new information that is important to the Government but was not shown on Contract Drawings or Shop Drawings.

3. Mark these Drawings to indicate the actual installation where the installation varies appreciably from the installation shown originally. Give particular attention to information on concealed elements, which would be difficult to identify or measure and record later. Items required to be marked include but are not limited to:
