E.2 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

Definitions.

E.2.1. “Substantial Completion” means the stage in the progress of the work as determined and certified by the Contracting Officer (CO) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in writing to the Contractor, on which the work or a portion thereof designated by the Government is sufficiently complete and satisfactory, in accordance with the requirements of the contract documents, that it may be occupied or utilized for the purpose for which it is intended, and only minor items such as touch-up, adjustments, and minor replacements or installations remain to be completed or corrected which (1) do not interfere with the intended occupancy or utilization of the work and (2) can be completed or corrected within the time period required for final completion.

E.2.2 “Date of Substantial Completion” means the date determined by the Contracting Officer

(CO) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) of which substantial completion of the work has been achieved. This date shall be contingent on the Contractor completing certain general construction work.

Substantial Completion is further dependent upon the Contractor providing all required training on operations and maintenance to the designated Center personnel. Unless indicated otherwise, the Date of Substantial Completion, as acknowledged by the Government, is also the commencement date of all warranties and guarantees required by the contract documents.

When the Contractor feels that the work is substantially complete, they shall notify the CO and the COR requesting a substantial completion walk thru inspection. Attached to the request must be a list of items to be corrected/completed (punch list). An inspection of the work shall be conducted by the Department of Labor (DOL) or its designated representative to review the punch list and verify its accuracy; should the Contractor’s punch list prove to be inaccurate or incomplete, Contractor shall provide revised punch list. At the time of the inspection, the

Contractor shall be required to submit to DOL or its designated representative all inspection reports, test results, operation and maintenance manuals, keys, and keying schedules for the substantially complete work. This information will then be turned over to the Center Operator.

Upon successful completion of the inspection, the CO shall provide Certification of Substantial

Completion.

Not until the date and Certificate of Substantial Completion have been fully acknowledged, by the Department of Labor’s CO and COR, will the Contractor be relieved of the responsibility for the security and maintenance of the work, except for punch list items. Following acknowledgment by the Department of Labor, the Contractor shall provide any required additional training to designated Center Personnel and shall also complete the punch list items in accordance with the Schedule identified in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. Failure to complete the punch list items within the schedule may be a breach of contract and will be subject to the sanction of the contract.

E.3 USE OF EQUIPMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT

E.3.1 Right to use The Government may take over and operate, with Government employees, such equipment as necessary for heating or cooling such areas of the building that require the service, and other equipment such as elevators, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems as soon as the installation is sufficiently complete to permit operation.

E.3.2 Pursuant to Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) clause 52.236-11, Use and Possession

Prior to Completion, the Government will advise the Contractor in writing of the Government’s intent to the use of the equipment prior to substantial completion, which items of equipment will be taken over and operated, in addition to the date and time such operation shall begin.

E.3.3 Effect on warranties. Government operation of equipment will not relieve the Contractor of warranty or correction obligations elsewhere provided for in this contract. The applicable warranty period, elsewhere provided for in this contract, for each piece of equipment, shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of this contract.

The contractor shall reference

Section G.13 entitled Final Completion/Closeout for documentation required prior to final acceptance.

E.4.1.2 “Date of Final Completion and Acceptance” means the date determined by the CO as of which final completion of the work has been achieved, as indicated by written notice to the
