PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7,1, the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement. 14,7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or,Change Order, 14.7,3.

If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substahtial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment.
