In such event, the Owner will review the Owner’s Representative's certification that the Work is substantially complete. If the Owner concurs, the Owner will notify the Contractor in writing that the Work is accepted as substantially complete. Except for any portion(s) of Work specified for early completion or required by the Owner for early possession, Substantial Completion will not occur for any Work until the entire Project is ready for possession and use. The acceptance notice will include a Punch List of incomplete Work items and corrective Work, set the date for their completion and repair, describe the division of responsibility between the Owner and Contractor, and describe any other terms of acceptance. The Contractor will acknowledge receipt of the acceptance notice in writing, indicating acceptance of all of its terms and provisions. Subsequent to the Substantial Completion date, the Owner may exclude the Contractor from the Work during such periods when construction activities might interfere with the intended operation of the Project. The Owner, however, shall allow the Contractor reasonable access for completion or correction of incomplete Punch List items. 5.8.
