What must the Contractor do if defects are found after an inspection?

The requirement for the Contractor to repair or replace defective Work or Deliverables at its own cost after inspection is crucial in maintaining the quality and integrity of the project. This obligation ensures that any deficiencies identified during the inspection process are addressed promptly, thereby upholding the standards set forth in the agreement. By taking responsibility for these repairs or replacements, the Contractor not only demonstrates accountability but also helps maintain trust and a positive working relationship with the City.

Addressing defects quickly helps to avoid further complications that could arise if those issues are left unresolved. It also reinforces the importance of assurance in the quality of the construction or deliverables provided, leading to higher satisfaction levels from all stakeholders involved. The requirement that the Contractor cover these costs emphasizes the expectation of high performance and compliance with the contract specifications throughout the project’s lifecycle. This practice ultimately supports the successful completion of the project within the agreed-upon standards and timelines.
