Exhibit C - Definition of "Substantial Completion" 
Per the 2010 City of Auburn Standard Specifications 
1-05.11(1)     SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE 
When the Contractor considers the work to be substantially complete, the Contractor
shall so notify the Engineer and request the Engineer establish the Substantial
Completion Date. The Contractor's request shall list the specific items of work that
remain to be completed in order to reach physical completion. The Engineer will
schedule an inspection of the work with the Contractor to determine the status of
completion. The Engineer may also establish the Substantial Completion Date
unilaterally. 
If, after this inspection, the Engineer concurs with the Contractor that the work is
substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Engineer, by written notice to
the Contractor, will set the Substantial Completion Date. If, after this inspection the
Engineer does not consider the work substantially complete and ready for its intended
use, the Engineer will, by written notice, so notify the Contractor giving the reasons
therefore. 
Upon receipt of written notice concurring in or denying substantial completion,
whichever is applicable, the Contractor shall pursue vigorously, diligently and without
unauthorized interruption, the work necessary to reach Substantial and Physical
Completion. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a revised schedule indicating
when the Contractor expects to reach substantial and physical completion of the work. 
The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial
Completion Date and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready
for final inspection.
