.Ltt-s CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH W1..", Construction Contract A project's close-out phase is often overlooked in the execution of the project. Project teams usually move on to the next engagement, and the City is left with completing the final deliverables and financial obligations. In some cases, the project close-out can have serious financial considerations related to issues of contract and schedule closeout. When a project is approximately 90% complete, BCC's Engineers will contact the Contractor as well as the City's Maintenance Staff to schedule a Preliminary Field Inspection. Although this inspection may not be a requirement of the contract documents it is suggested in the spirit of cooperation with the contractor to insure a timelier and problem free final inspection. The purpose of the inspection will be to review the project and determine if the project is sufficiently complete to warrant a final inspection. Bee will schedule a Final Inspection within 7 days of the Contractor notifying the City that the project is presumptively complete. During this inspection a punch list will be prepared for any work found unsatisfactory in whole or in part. A copy of the punch list will be provided to the Contractor with the indication that the work so noted must be completed before the job will be accepted. The eontractor will also be notified that the punch list should not be construed as a "final list". Once all punch list items are completed, a Final Inspection will be scheduled. Contract closeout will also include reconciliation of any outstanding unpaid estimates, review of the required contract documents, and submittal of the appropriate records including "As-Built" Plans to the City for records retention.
