COMPLETION NOTICES. K.4.1 Contractor shall provide Owner notice of both Substantial and Final Completion.

Both completion notices must be signed by Contractor and Owner to be valid. Owner shall provide the final signature on the notices. The notices shall take effect on the date they are signed by Owner. If inspection, observation, and/or testing pursuant to Section B.3.3 of these General Conditions reveals any item, whether or not included on the Punch list, not sufficiently complete within the meaning of the term “Substantial Completion” or the term “Final Completion,” as applicable, Contractor shall, upon notice from Owner, complete or correct such item, and any applicable warranty period for such item or associated systems shall be extended, effective with the completion or correction, for the portion of the warranty period remaining when Owner discovered the incomplete or incorrect item. K.4.2 Substantial Completion of a facility with operating systems (e.g., mechanical, electrical, HVAC) shall be that degree of completion that has provided a minimum of thirty (30) continuous Days of successful, trouble-free operation, which period shall begin after all performance and acceptance testing has been successfully demonstrated to Owner's Authorized Representative. All equipment contained in the Work, plus all other components necessary to enable Owner to operate the facility in the manner that was intended, shall be complete on the Substantial Completion date. Contractor may request that a punch list be prepared by Owner's Authorized Representative with submission of the request for the Substantial Completion notice.
