Preliminary/Partial Acceptance Sample Clauses
The Preliminary/Partial Acceptance clause allows for a project, product, or service to be accepted in stages or in part before the entire scope is completed. In practice, this means that certain deliverables or sections of work can be reviewed and approved by the client or relevant authority as they are finished, even if other parts are still ongoing. This approach enables the client to begin using or benefiting from completed portions sooner and can trigger partial payments or warranties for those accepted parts. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility in project delivery and payment, while also clarifying responsibilities and reducing delays associated with waiting for full completion before any acceptance occurs.
Preliminary/Partial Acceptance. Upon the satisfactory completion of any of the specific Subdivision Improvements listed in Exhibit A, Owner/Developer shall be entitled to obtain preliminary acceptance thereof by the County ("Preliminary Acceptance") in accordance with the following provisions:
a) Upon such partial completion, Owner/Developer shall give written notice to the County Engineer requesting an inspection of the completed Subdivision Improvements ("Preliminary Inspection Notice"). The County shall inspect (or cause to be inspected by any applicable special district) the completed Subdivision Improvements within fourteen days after receipt by the County Engineer of the Preliminary Inspection Notice and, if the County Engineer (or any applicable special district) finds that the specified improvements have been completed substantially in accordance with the Plans and the other requirements of this Agreement, the County Engineer shall issue a letter evidencing Preliminary Acceptance within fourteen days after the inspection. The County's duty to inspect within fourteen days shall be extended, if necessary, due to weather or winter conditions causing inspection to be impractical or impossible.
b) If, upon inspection of the completed Subdivision Improvements, the County Engineer (or any applicable special district) finds that the specified improvements have not been completed substantially in accordance with the Plans and the other requirements of this Agreement, the County Engineer shall issue a written notice of noncompliance within fourteen days after the inspection specifying the respects in which the completed Subdivision Improvements have not been completed substantially in accordance with the Plans and the other requirements of this Agreement. Owner/Developer shall thereupon take such action as is necessary to cure any noncompliance and, upon curing the same, shall give a new Preliminary Inspection Notice to the County Engineer. Upon the giving of such a new Preliminary Inspection Notice, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 shall apply.
