Any items identified within the punch-list that consist of additional work or work beyond the scope of an agreed upon change order shall be treated as a change order. The Parties agree that any work requested after the creation of the punch-list is either a change order or warranty claim. Upon Contractor’s communication to Customer that work is complete except for identified Punch List Items, Customer shall pay Contractor all but 5% of the contract price pending the completion of the identified Punch List Items. The remaining 5% owed shall be paid within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving notice that all Punch List Items are complete.
