Notification and Preliminary Inspection Clause Samples

The Notification and Preliminary Inspection clause establishes the requirement for one party to inform the other about a specific event, condition, or delivery, and allows for an initial review or assessment of the relevant goods, services, or circumstances. Typically, this means that upon receiving goods or being notified of a completed service, the receiving party must promptly inspect and report any defects, discrepancies, or issues. This process ensures that problems are identified early, enabling timely resolution and preventing disputes over acceptance or quality at a later stage.
Notification and Preliminary Inspection. The contractor shall provide written notification to the A/E that the work, or a designated portion thereof, is substantially complete. This notification shall include a list of any incomplete items. The A/E shall then make a preliminary inspection of the work and preliminary punch list. If A/E is in agreement with the contractor, notify the CDB PM that a substantial completion inspection meeting is warranted. The A/E shall prepare the certificate of substantial completion with the completed punch list and forward the package to the coordinating contractor and each assigned contractor.
