Project Closeout and Commissioning Clause Samples

Project Closeout and Commissioning. The Design Professional shall assist the Construction Manager in meeting its obligation to close-out the construction phase of the project within 90 days of Substantial Completion. This includes, but is not limited to responding to and obtaining DSA approvals, for all RFIs, potential Change Orders (PCOs), Change Orders (COs), requests for guidance, Punch List inspections, issuance of Completion Certificates, or any other required documentation needed to close out the Project including submitting all final DSA documentation. Unless directed otherwise by the District, the only exception to the 90 day construction closeout window is the commissioning process. The commissioning process will extend beyond the closeout window. If the Design Professional’s failure to assist the Construction Manager causes the Contractor to not be able to close out the project within 90 days, the Design Professional may be subject to any additional costs from the District or Construction Manager caused by that failure if it is determined to result from the actions or inactions of the Design Professional.
