Common use of Acceptance of the Work Clause in Contracts

Acceptance of the Work. If, after RCDSCC’s final inspection and after all Contract documentation has been received, RCDSCC determines that the Contract has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Project Manager will provide a letter stating that the Work is accepted. Upon receipt of the letter of acceptance, Contractor will be relieved of the duty of maintaining and protecting the Work. If RCDSCC determines that Work is not complete or that the Work does not meet the requirements of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall be notified in writing of deficiencies. Neither determination by RCDSCC that the Work is complete nor acceptance thereof shall operate as a bar to RCDSCC's claim against Contractor pursuant to Contractor's warranty and guarantees. Partial payments shall not be construed as acceptance of any part of the Work. RCDSCC will not accept the Work until all requirements of the Contract Documents are complete and approved by RCDSCC. This includes, but is not limited to, completion of all Work required by the Contract Documents, correction of punch list items, and delivery of all guarantee forms, parts lists, schedules, tests, operating instructions, and as-built drawings.
