Endorsement from the CMAR’S insurance company permitting occupancy shall be a <br />condition precedent to the Owner’s occupancy of a part or parts of the Project, but may be <br />requested by the Owner or CMAR in its discretion. <br />29.3. The Owner shall have the right to exclude the CMAR from any part of the Project which the <br />Project Designer has so certified to be substantially complete, but the Owner will allow the CMAR <br />reasonable access to complete or correct Work to bring it into compliance with the Contract. <br />Contractors allowed to Work in substantially complete and occupied areas shall clean up after their <br />operations daily or be subject to back charges therefor. Occupancy by the Owner under this article <br />will in no way relieve the CMAR from its contractual requirement to complete the Project within <br />the specified time. <br />30.FINAL INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE, AND PROJECT CLOSEOUT <br />30.1. The CMAR is responsible for the close out requirements under the Contract. The CMAR is to <br />Work closely with the Owner as to the procedures and schedule for contract close-out and the <br />related contractual obligations. <br />30.2. The CMAR is to Work closely with the Owner’s building commissioning agent or agents <br />throughout the design, construction, and close-out phases of the Project. <br />30.3. Upon notification from the CMAR that the Project is complete and ready for inspection, the Project <br />Designer shall make a preliminary final inspection to verify that the Project is complete and ready <br />for final inspection. Prior to final inspection, the CMAR shall complete all items requiring <br />corrective measures noted at the preliminary inspection. The Project Designer shall schedule a final <br />inspection at a time and date acceptable to the Owner and the CMAR. <br />30.4. At the final inspection, the Project Designer shall, if job conditions warrant, record a list of items <br />that are found to be incomplete or not in accordance with the Construction Documents. At the <br />conclusion of the final inspection, the Project Designer shall make the following determinations: <br />30.4.1. That the Project is completed and accepted. <br />30.4.2. That the Project is accepted subject to the list of discrepancies (punch list). Subject to <br />unavoidable delays in the delivery of materials needed to correct or complete discrepancies, all <br />punch list items must be completed within thirty (30) days of acceptance or the Owner may invoke <br />Owner’s Right to Do Work. <br />30.4.3. That the Project is not complete and another date for a final inspection will be established. <br />30.5. Within fourteen (14) days of acceptance or within fourteen (14) days after completion of punch list, <br />the Project Designer shall certify the Work and issue applicable certificate(s) of compliance. <br />30.6. Any discrepancies listed or discovered after the date of final inspection and acceptance shall be <br />resolved as a warranty item. <br />30.7. The CMAR shall obtain as-built and product data from Subcontractors and maintain a current set of <br />record drawings, specifications and operating manuals. For mechanical and electrical equipment, <br />the CMAR is to obtain the operating and maintenance (O&M) manuals at least three (3) months <br />prior to the demonstration for such equipment. These O&M manuals are to be sent to the Owner’s <br />representative who is to forward one (1) set to the Owner’s department responsible for maintaining <br />the facility for review prior to the equipment demonstration. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5A9E3BC2-EAE1-4C35-82D9-B4D6A375FA78
