CHARLES WILLIS & ASSOCIATES, INC. Architects. Planners. Engineers. Aviation Consultants 709-8 W. Abram S1. Arlington, TX 76013 (817) 261-1863 FAX: 274-8878 December 11, 1990 Mr. Larry Gilley City of San Marcos 630 E. Hopkins San Marcos, TX 78666 Dear Mr. Gilley: Pursuant to the requirements of the contract documents for construction of the Functional Replacement of Gary Job Corps Facilities, I have prepared this certificate of substantial completion for the project, with an effective date of December 4, 1990. The project has been subjected to a series of previous inspections for completeness and compliance with the plans and specifications; and the contractor has corrected discrepancies or incomplete work noted during those inspections. Under the terms of the contract documents, the City of San Marcos has seven days in which to make a written objection to the architect as to any provisions of this certificate; should the City of San Marcos have any reason for objecting to this certification, I request that you advise me at your earliest possible time so that we can address any such issue immediately. The contractor has delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, testing and balancing reports and other documents as required by the specifications, and has submitted an application for final payment. The contractor has also provided releases in full and an affidavit that releases receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a lien could be filed, and that all payrolls material, equipment bills and other expenses connected with the work for which the City might be responsible have been paid, or otherwise satisfied. Based upon our review of the contractor's performance, and inspection of the facilities and work accomplished, and the documents submitted under the terms of the contract documents, it is our recommendation that the contractor be paid in full, less the amount withheld for liquidated damages, 11,632.85. This amount will be used to offset additional expense incurred by the City for additional inspection services and related costs. The contractor's application for final payment has been approved by me and is transmitted with this letter. It should be noted that the contractor has continuing obligations under this contract for warranties and performance of the facilities and equipment and that this recommendation for payment and certificate of substantial completion does not relieve the contractor in any way for work that is not in accordance with the contract documents. Further, acceptance of the payment recommended shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the contractor against the owner, other than those previously made in writing and still unsettled. We are not aware of any such claims.
