or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration
of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion
ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation to division of responsibilities pending
final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, and protection of the
Work, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree
otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until
final payment.
B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion, but
OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which has specifically been
identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately
functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended purpose without significant
interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to
Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following conditions.
1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work
which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees that
such part of the Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part
of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for
that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER
shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraph 14.04 will apply with
respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in
respect thereof and access thereto.
2. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the requirements
of paragraph 5.10 regarding property insurance.
14.06 Final Inspection
A. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete, ENGINEER
will promptly make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all
particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately
take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After CONTRACTOR has, in the opinion of ENGINEER, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified during
the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and operating
instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance certificates of inspection,
marked-up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.12), and other documents, CONTRACTOR may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all
