Had this additional scope been included as part of the contract, it would have been considered punch-list, but since the Gov'ts level of inspection increased, the contractor is due the additional funds to meet the changed requirements. The contract completion date (CCD) passed shortly after the BOD. The building was BOD'd, (Beneficial Occupancy Date) but the elevator was not certified and was thus not allowed to be used. As the building was preparing to be turned over, a new government elevator inspector imposed some additional requirements beyond the original scope and accepted specifications. The original scope included elevator repair and the contractor's proposed plans were accepted by the Gov't.
Background: This is a FFP design-build task order for a renovation of a BEQ.
