Wayne Brownell's SITE WORK, co versation with Mr. Bassett, who represented the HUD Indianapolis INCOMPLETE, Ara Office at the final inspection held September 1, and they can- R -66 not find the work to be complete and acceptable on the Plaza Park Co tract at this time. The following items or actions will be re- quired: 1) Submission of a final Change Order to establish the total cost of the contract, based on final measure- ments and unit costs. 2) Completion of punch -list items. Mr. Havens' letter stated no further inspection by their office will be necessary -- merely our verification that the items have been com- pl ted in accordance with the contract requirements.
