omissions and deficiencies upon which the
recommendation was based. The captain will
inform the Lessor or his/her representatives of
the CO's approval to abort the inspection and
advise the Lessor of the specific reasons why
the project is not acceptable for beneficial use or
occupancy.
In case the team captain and CO decide to
proceed with the final inspection and the project
is not ready for beneficial occupancy, the
Government will not accept custody. The CO
shall transmit the final inspection report and
punch list to the Lessor with a Cure Notice. When
the items have been corrected by the Lessor and
the Inspection Team has determined that the
facility is ready for occupancy, acceptance of the
space may proceed.
CORRECTION OF PUNCH LIST ITEMS
The CO, along with the COTR/RE and Other
Technical staff as needed, will monitor the
Lessor's progress in completion or correction of
the items on the punch list. Only the items on
the punch list are reviewed during the follow-up
inspection. If all punch list items are corrected,
then the CO notifies the Lessor that the punch
list contingency is waived from VA's acceptance
of the premises.
If the Lessor fails or refuses to complete or
correct significant punch list item(s), the CO may
withhold a portion of the Lump Sum Payment
due the Lessor.
