(ii)
IV -1
submit a written list of comments to be incorporated by
the Contractor in order to conform to the technical

shall be deemed to be approval of the Facility start -up
plan. Any testing of equipment or any portions of a

set forth in the Facility start -up plan.
(d) Commencement of and Requirements for Start -Up Phase. The
Facility start -up phase shall commence following the

Days after receipt of such notice, submit a list of
those items it deems as incomplete. The County
will be deemed to have concurred that the
Facilities are ready for the Acceptance test if it
does not respond to the Contractor's Completion
Statement. If, upon receipt of the County's list,
the Contractor determines that, in its opinion, the
Acceptance test may proceed without a detrimental
effect on the Facilities or on the equipment, the
Contractor may proceed with the Acceptance test

to the Contractor, cause to be transported to the

County with a written report certified by a
Professional Engineer, registered in the State of
Florida, describing (1) the Acceptance test
conducted, (2) the certified results of the

performance of such obligation due to the occurrence of an
VII -3
Uncontrollable Circumstance. The party whose performance
under this Agreement has been affected by an Uncontrollable
Circumstance shall provide prompt written notice of the
occurrence and cessation of such Uncontrollable Circumstance
to the other party. Whenever an Uncontrollable Circumstance
shall occur, the party claiming to be adversely affected
thereby shall, as quickly as reasonably possible, eliminate or
mitigate the cause therefor, reduce costs and resume
performance under this Agreement.
