Nonconforming Work 5.6.1 Rejection, Removal and Replacement of Nonconforming Work
ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
BUILDER’S RISK FOR CONSTRUCTION RENOVATION PROJECTS If the project is CONSTRUCTION RENOVATION of an existing structure, and the State has already determined that Contractor will not be obligated to obtain and maintain Builder’s Risk insurance, then the following provisions apply: (1) The State will maintain property insurance upon the construction site and will not require Contractor to purchase and maintain Builder's Risk Insurance upon the entire work at the site. (2) The decision of the State to waive the requirement that the Contractor maintain builder’s risk coverage does not waive Contractor’s liability for damage to the State’s real and personal property. Contractor’s liability for loss to the State’s real and personal property will be limited to the first $100,000 of each and every property loss at the work site provided such loss is covered under the State’s property insurance coverage. If the Contractor elects to meet this obligation by purchase of commercial insurance, this insurance shall name the Contractor and the State of Vermont as Named Insureds and shall include the interests of the Contractor and Subcontractors. Other parties shall be insured as the State may reasonably require. (3) Contractor shall effect and maintain insurance on portions of the work stored off-site, on site and in transit. Boiler & Machinery Insurance may be used in conjunction with this coverage if it is required to meet the testing requirement. The cost of any deductible applicable to loss covered by insurance provided hereunder shall be borne by the Contractor. (4) Except as provided for in 11.2.2 (1)-(3) above the State and Contractor waive all rights against each other and the Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractors, agents and employees of the other.
Punch List If, at any time after the Project has been Physically Completed, there shall exist any item or items requiring completion or correction, then the Developer agrees to use all reasonable diligence to complete or correct such item or items so that each conforms to the Final Plans. The parties shall make a Punch-List of the items requiring completion or correction (the "Punch List"). Each item on the Punch-List shall be assigned a reasonable value based upon the reasonable cost of completion or correction of the same or such other value as may be required by the Owner's lender ("Punch-List Amount"). The Developer shall give its written undertaking to complete each such item within forty-five (45) days (or such other period of time as is mutually agreed upon by the parties).
Punchlist Promptly after the Project reaches Substantial Completion, the Design-Builder shall cause the Architect to develop a punchlist. Once the punchlist is prepared, the Design-Builder shall inspect the work along with representatives from the Department. The punchlist shall be revised to reflect additional work items that are discovered during such inspection. The Design-Builder shall correct all punchlist items no later than ninety (90) days after Substantial Completion is achieved.
