Within a reasonable time thereafter, Owner, Contractor and Engineer shall make an inspection of the Work to deter- mine the status of completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work sub- stantially complete, Engineer will notify Contractor in writing giving his reasons therefor. If Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will prepare and deliver to Owner a proposed Certificate of Substan- tial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the proposed Certificate a list of items ("punch list") to he completed or corrected before final payment. 9.7.2 Owner shall have seven days after receipt of the Certificate during which he may make written objection to Engineer as to any provisions of the Certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, Engineer will within fourteen days after submission of the proposed Certificate to Owner notify Contractor in writing, stating his reasons therefor. If, after consideration of Owner's objections, F;ngineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to Owner and Con- tractor a final Certificate of Substantial Completion (with any revised list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the pro- posed Certificate as he believes justified after consideration of any objec- tions from Owner.

Work after the date of Substantial Completion, but Owner shall allow Contractor reasonable access; to complete or correct items on the list of items to he completed or corrected. 9.8 PARTIAL.
