PUNCH LIST REQUIREMENTS Clause Samples
The Punch List Requirements clause defines the process for identifying and addressing minor incomplete or defective work items at the end of a construction project. Typically, after substantial completion, the contractor and owner (or their representatives) inspect the project and create a list of outstanding tasks—such as touch-ups, repairs, or missing components—that must be finished before final acceptance. This clause ensures that all parties are clear on what remains to be done, providing a structured method for resolving outstanding issues and facilitating the project's formal closeout.
PUNCH LIST REQUIREMENTS. Minor deficiencies that are not sufficient to delay Acceptance of a work element will be listed on a Punch List prepared by the Contractor for such work element. The Contractor will thereafter promptly complete the items on the Punch List to the reasonable satisfaction of, and by dates reasonably acceptable to, the Government. Upon completion of the items on the Punch List, the Government and the Contractor shall execute a Certificate of Final Acceptance for such work element, it being understood that the Government shall be deemed to have executed a Certificate of Final Acceptance with respect to such work element unless the Government notifies the Contractor to the contrary in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving notice from the Contractor that a work element has been Substantially Completed, which notice shall specify the Government’s position with respect thereto.
PUNCH LIST REQUIREMENTS. The Design-Builder shall submit a proposed Punch List to the City and the Owner Representative when the Design-Builder believes that the Design-Build Work has achieved the requirements for Substantial Completion in compliance with the Contract Documents. The “Punch List” shall be a statement of repairs, corrections and adjustments to the Design-Build Work, and incomplete aspects of the Design-Build Work, which in the Design-Builder’s opinion:
(1) The Design-Builder can complete before the date specified in subsection (B) of this Section, and with minimal interference to the occupancy, use and lawful operation of the Project; and
(2) Would represent, to perform or complete, a total cost of not more than 0.3% of the portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price applicable to the construction of the Project (unless the City determines, in its discretion, that a higher percentage is acceptable, as evidenced by the written approval of the City Contract Representative). The City shall have the right to approve the Punch List in its discretion.
