The Professional may also refuse to recommend any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in the Professional's opinion to protect the County from loss because: i a) The Work is defective; i .I b) The Contract Price has been reduced by Change Order; c) The County has been required to correct defective work or complete work in accordance with Article 15; d) Claims have been filed against the County for which the Contractor may be liable; and/or e) The work was executed unsatisfactorily; the Contractor failed to clean up as required in Article 7 or the work is otherwise not in compliance with these Contract Documents. 16.4.6 The County will give the Contractor immediate notice stating the reasons for such action and promptly pay the Contractor the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by the County and the Contractor, when the Contractor corrects, to the County's satisfaction, the reasons for such action. 16.5 Substantial Completion 16.5.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or specified portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so the County can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended purpose. 16.5.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a specified portion thereof, which the County agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Professional a thorough and inclusive list of items to be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on this list does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Professional and Project Manager will visit the site to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Professional's and the Project Manager's visit discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor's list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item, upon notification by the Professional. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another visit by the Professional to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Professional will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion that shall establish the date of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall include a list of items that have not been completed or corrected at the time of the follow-up visit by the Professional to determine Substantial Completion. The Professional, in consultation with the County, shall establish a date for completion of the items identified in the Certificate of Substantial Completion Certificate and this date for completion shall be noted on the Certificate. The Professional shall also establish a value for each of the items included on the certificate, which may be deducted from the 85 liz-$5
