If, within the period of one (1) year after the Bureau's date of substantial completion or final acceptance of the Work, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Using Agency will inform the Bureau who will instruct the Contractor, through the Professional by written notice, to promptly correct faulty workmanship and materials.
The Bureau will be notified in writing by the Using Agency if the Contractor fails to respond promptly. The Contractor is not responsible for maintenance during the one-year Warranty period. It is the responsibility of the Using Agency to determine if corrective action is required because of faulty maintenance or faulty construction workmanship and materials.
The Using Agency is to request action on the part of the Contractor only in those areas where responsibility lies with the Contractor.
The Contractor is not responsible for any actions taken by the Using Agency if a Warranty is voided by inappropriate actions. The Using Agency should take care in its routine maintenance not to void any Warranties.
