a condition precedent to entitlement to any such adjustment-,
4.2.6.3. with respect to «'ork that is paid for on a Unic
Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract Price will be subject
to the provisions of paragraphs 9.10 and 11.9; and

certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time
-hereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall
.lake an inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. if ENGINEER does not consider the Work sub-
stantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR

fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to
OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons
therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, EN-
GINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGI-
NEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Sub-
stantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after

written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pend-
:ng final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
espect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utili-
ties, insurance and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER

ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion. ENGINEER's
aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and
CONTRACTOR until final payment.

and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is substan-
tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif-
icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and
ENGINEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers
any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and
substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a
certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the
`4'ork. Within a reasonable time after either such request,
OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make
an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its
status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider
that part of the Work to be substantially complete. ENGI-
NEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writ-
ing giving the reasons therefor. if ENGINEER considers
that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the

TRACTOR from making claim under Articles I 1 and 12 for
an increase in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise
for expenses or damage directly attributable to CONTRAC-
TOR's stopping Work as permitted by this paragraph.
