Acceptance of the Work 19.1 The Contractor shall correct any Work that fails to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents where such failure to conform appears during the progress of the Work, and shall remedy any defects due to faulty permitting, design, materials, equipment or workmanship which appear within a period of one year from the Date of Final Settlement of the Contract or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents. The provisions of this Article apply to Work done by Subcontractors as well as to Work done by direct employees of the Contractor, and are in addition to any other remedies or warranties provided by law. 19.2 No act of, or failure to act by, the Owner or the Owner's Representative, either in superintending or directing the Work, or any extension of time for the completion of the Work, shall be regarded as an acceptance of such Work or any part thereof, or of materials used therein, either wholly or in part. Acceptance shall be evidenced only by the final certificate of the Owner. Before any final certificate shall issue, Contractor shall execute an affidavit on the certificate that it accepts the same in full payment and settlement of all claims on account of Work done and materials furnished under this Contract, and that all claims for materials provided or labor performed have been paid or set aside in full. No waiver of any breach of this Contract by the Owner or anyone acting on Owner's behalf shall be held as a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof. 19.3 Contractor agrees to guarantee all work under this Contract for the periods specified in the RFP from the date of Final Settlement by the Owner. If any unsatisfactory condition or damage develops within the time of this guaranty due to permitting, design, materials or workmanship that are defective, inferior, or not in accordance with the Contract, as reasonably determined by the Owner or the Owner’s Representative, then the Contractor shall, when notified by the Owner or OR, immediately place such guaranteed Work in a condition satisfactory to the Owner or OR.
