deficiencies discovered over the period of the CONTRACTOR’S
warranty. This list shall be provided to the CONTRACTOR 30

COMPLETION. The CONTRACTOR shall have 30 calendar days

(3)
Upon receipt of the Request for Payment for the first draw
the OWNER(S) shall have seven (7) calendar days to
inspect the work to insure the work under the Request for
Payment is complete. If the WORK is determined to be
complete the OWNER(S) have five (5) calendar days in
which to pay the CONTRACTOR. If the WORK is found to
be incomplete or unsatisfactory, the OWNER(S) may pay a
reduced draw amount agreed to by the CONTRACTOR with

be completed by the next Request for Payment or before
final payment is made. After notification that the incomplete
or unsatisfactory WORK has been corrected the OWNER(S)

make payment to the CONTRACTOR.

(b)
At the OWNERS inspection of the WORK for
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION the CONTRACTOR
will have had the site and building cleaned of all
debris and present the OWNER with:
1
A Release of Liens.

A CONTRACTOR’S punch list of incomplete
work and/or deficient work to be corrected
within 15 calendar days from SUBSTANTIAL
COMPLETION. This list may be added to by
the OWNERS punch list upon their inspection
at SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
The OWNERS, upon inspection of the WORK make a
determination of SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION as
generally defined in paragraph B.11. above. If the
project is determined to be substantially complete on
that date, that date becomes the start date for the one
year warranty. The OWNER(S) have the following
options regarding payment at this point:
(1)
Withhold payment until any punch list items are
corrected, if the punch list is composed of
generally minor, easy to correct items.
(2)
Pay a revised Request for Payment amount
agreed to by the CONTRACTOR provided the
CONTRACTOR agrees to complete the punch
list within 15 calendar days and provides a
schedule outlining same.
(3)
When the CONTRACTOR notifies the
OWNER(S) that the punch list is completed
and has submitted a Request for Payment for
the monies held back, the OWNER(S) have ten
(10) calendar days in which to inspect the
WORK and to pay the CONTRACTOR for
satisfactorily completed work.

WARRANTY

equipment for one year from the date of SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION,
except for the materials and/or equipment furnished by the OWNERS for

and ancillary materials he provided to install the OWNERS furnished
items. Further the CONTRACTOR shall:
14.
a.

WORK under this CONTRACT which materially affects the full and
proper functioning of his WORK under this CONTRACT, e.g. a
hand railing that becomes fully or partially detached from the wood
deck.
b.

end of the warranty period. Items damaged by other than the
CONTRACTOR or his employees over the period of the warranty

completion date because of unforeseen problems such as weather,
unavailability of materials, etc. However, any such requests must be
justified and documented and submitted to the OWNERS within five (5)
days of said delays. It is expected that the CONTRACTOR will plan and
manage the WORK so that it is accomplished efficiently and expeditiously
to meet the completion date.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
1.
CORROSION OF MATERIALS
a.
Pressure treated (PT) lumber today will corrode many of the
fasteners and flashings that were used in the past. It is essential
that all the metal fasteners used in construction of the deck and
optional shed be specified by the manufacturer as safe use in
contact with PT lumber. Toward that end a Fastener Schedule is
provided at subparagraph C.1.c. below.
9
SPECIFICATIONS (CONT’D)
b.
c.
Aluminum Flashing and other aluminum materials also need to be
protected against corrosion from contact with PT lumber.
(1)
Wherever aluminum flashing comes in contact with PT wood
it must be isolated from the wood by using 30 pound/100 SF
roofing paper or the new Titanium roofing paper.
(2)
The bars of the handrail posts used in the Colonial Railings
by Age Craft must be separated from the wood deck with 30
pound/100 SF roofing paper or Titanium roofing paper.
Below is a Fastener Schedule to be used in selecting the fasteners
in building the deck and optional shed.
