Common use of Delay in Final Completion Clause in Contracts

Delay in Final Completion. District shall make payment of the balance due for any portion of the Work fully completed and accepted if final completion is materially delayed through no fault of Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion. In the event that final completion is not accomplished within thirty (30) days after the date of Substantial Completion due to any fault of Contractor, District may withhold from the final payment 150 percent of the reasonable cost to complete the unfinished Work and to attain final completion. In the event Contractor fails to complete the Work necessary to attain final completion after forty five (45) days from Substantial Completion, District may, without waiving other remedies it may have, complete the Work and deduct the actual cost thereof from the funds withheld.
