Within five (5) days after receipt of the Contractor's notification, the Owner will review the matter and notify the Contractor, in writing, of his or her determination. If the Owner determines that the corrective Work is required to comply with the Contract, the Contractor shall proceed with such Work. As a condition precedent to the Contractor's request for adjustment of Contract Sum, Contract Time, or both, resulting from the performance of such corrective Work, the Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Owner's determination, provide the Owner with Notice of a Contract Claim for an adjustment of Contract Sum, Contract Time, or both. Contract Claims not timely and completely submitted are deemed waived. The Contractor shall document the cost information associated with the corrective work with daily records in accordance with Force Account procedures and shall provide such information to the Owner’s Representative daily. Receipt of the cost data by the Owner’s Representative will not be construed to be an acceptance of the corrective Work, or an authorization for a Change Order to cover the corrective Work. Contractor waives any such Contract Claim by failing to maintain accurate and complete Force Account records. 8.7.2. Retention of Defective Work In its sole discretion, the Owner may retain Work that is not in compliance with the Contract. The Owner will determine the just and reasonable value for such defective and/or noncompliant Work and deductions will be made in the payments due or to become due to the Contractor. Final Acceptance will not act as a waiver of the Owner's right to recover from the Contractor an amount representing the deduction for retention of defective and/or noncompliant Work. 8.8. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT FURNISHED BY OWNER Contractor shall install materials and Equipment furnished by the Owner as provided in the technical sections of the Specifications.

After such discovery, the Contractor shall not proceed with Work involving Owner-furnished materials and Equipment unless authorized by the Owner. Unless otherwise noted or specifically stated, materials and Equipment furnished by the Owner, which are not of local occurrence or manufacture, are considered to be "FOB" railroad station or truck terminal nearest to the Site of the Work.
