Correction of Defective Work <br /> When, and as often as the Owner's Representative determines through his or her inspection <br /> ' procedures, material, Equipment or workmanship incorporated in the Project do not meet the <br /> requirements of the Contract, the Owner's Representative will give written notice of the <br /> noncompliance to the Contractor. Within fourteen (14) days from the receipt of such notice, the <br /> ' Contractor shall undertake the Work necessary to correct the deficiencies, and to comply with <br /> the Contract. If the Contractor disagrees with the Owner's Representative's determination and <br /> believes that the corrective Work should be covered by a Change Order, he or she shall <br /> immediately notify the Owner, in writing, setting forth its position. Within five (5) days after <br /> ' receipt of the Contractor's notification, the Owner will review the matter and notify the <br /> Contractor, in writing, of his or her determination. <br /> If the Owner determines that the corrective Work is required to comply with the Contract, the <br /> Contractor shall proceed with such Work. As a condition precedent to the Contractor's request <br /> for adjustment of Contract Sum, Contract Time, or both, resulting from the performance of such <br /> corrective Work, the Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Owner's <br /> ' determination, provide the Owner with Notice of a Contract Claim for an adjustment of Contract <br /> Sum, Contract Time, or both. Contract Claims not timely and completely submitted are deemed <br /> waived. The Contractor shall document the cost information associated with the corrective work <br /> ' with daily records in accordance with Force Account procedures and shall provide such <br /> information to the Owner's Representative daily. Receipt of the cost data by the Owner's <br /> Representative will not be construed to be an acceptance of the corrective Work, or an <br /> ' authorization for a Change Order to cover the corrective Work. Contractor waives any such <br /> Contract Claim by failing to maintain accurate and complete Force Account records. <br /> 8.7.2. Retention of Defective Work <br /> ' In its sole discretion, the Owner may retain Work that is not in compliance with the Contract. <br /> The Owner will determine the just and reasonable value for such defective Work and deductions <br /> will be made in the payments due or to become due to the Contractor. Final Acceptance will not <br /> act as a waiver of the Owner's right to recover from the Contractor an amount representing the <br /> ' deduction for retention of defective Work. <br /> 8.8. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT FURNISHED BY OWNER <br /> ' Contractor shall install materials and Equipment furnished by the Owner as provided in the <br /> technical sections of the Specifications.

After such discovery, the Contractor shall not proceed with Work <br /> involving Owner-furnished materials and Equipment unless authorized by the Owner.
