C2tion is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by
both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change
Directive or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work
issued by the Architect. Unless specifically enwnerated in the

Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contrac-
lU2l relationship of any kind (I) between the Architect and Con-.
tractor, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-
subcontractor or (3) between any persons Ot entities other than
the Owner and Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be
entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under
the Contract intended to facilitate perfonnance of the
Architect's duties.
1.1.3 THEWORK
The term "Work" means the construction and services
required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or

equipment and services provided or to be provided by the
Contractor to fulfill the Contractor's obligations. The Work
may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.
1.1.4 THE PROJECT

formed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a
part and which may include construction by the Owner or by
separate contractors.

sentation that the Contractor has visited the site, become famil.

formed and correlated personal observations with require-
ments of the Contract Documents.
1.2.3 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all
items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the
Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are comple-
mentary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as If

required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Docu-
ments and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary
to produce the intended results.

and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the
Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in
establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.

shall submit to the Architect a schedule of values allocated to
various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and sup-

tions for Payment.
9.3 APPUCA TIONS FOR PAYMENT
9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each
progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect
an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed

if provided for eJsewhere in the Contract Documents.
9.3.1.1 Such applications may include requests for payment on
account of changes in the Work which have been properly
authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet
included in Change Orders.
9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for pay-
ment of amounts the Contractor does not intend to pay to a
Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other

.
Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contrac-
tor, for such amount as the Architect determines is properly
due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Architect's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in
part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.
9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the
Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowl-
edge, information and belief, quality of the Work is in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representa-
tions are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance
with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to
results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion
and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architecl. The
issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a
representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the
amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Pay-
ment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1)
made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the
quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3)
reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors
and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner
to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made
examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contrac.
tor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract
Sum.
9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION
9.5.1 The Architect may decide not to certify payment and
may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to
the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the
Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required
by Subparagraph 9.4.2 cannot be made. If the Architect is
unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the
Architect will notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in
Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Architect cannot
2gCee on a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a
Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Architect
is able to make such representations to the Owner. The Archi-
tect may also decide not to certify payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent observations,
may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment
previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the
Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
.1 defective Work not remedied;
.2 third party clahns flied or reasonable evidence indicat-
Ing probable filing of such claims;
.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments prop-
erly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment;
.4 reasonable evidence that "the Work cannot be com-
pleted for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor;
.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be com-
pleted within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid
balance would not be adequate to cover actual or
liquidated dam"lles for the anticlp'Jted delay; or
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Wark in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are
removed, certification will be made for amounts previously
withheld.
9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
9.6.1 After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment,
the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the
time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify
the Architect.

upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount
paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's por-
tion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is
entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments
to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion
of the Work, The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement
with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make
payments to Sub-subcontractors in similar manner,
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of com-
pletion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action
taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on account of por-
tions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation
to payor to see to the paym~nt of money to a Subcontractor
except as may otherwise be required by law,
9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner
similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.
9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial
or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall
not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
9.7.1 If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment,
through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after
receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the
Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven days after the
date established in the Contract Documents the amount cer-
tifted by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, then the Con-
tractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the
Owner and Architect, stop the Work until payment of the
amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be
extended appropriately and the Contract Swn shall be
increased by the amount of the Contractor's reasonable costs of
shut-down, delay and start-up, which shall be accomplished as
provided in Article 7.
9.8 SUBSTANTIAl COMPlETION
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the srage in the progress of the
Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is suffi-
ciently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents
so the Owner can occupy or utHize the Work for its intended
use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, ora por-
tion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is
substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit
to the Architect a comprehensive list of items to be completed
or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to com-
plete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on
such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments. Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect will
make an inspection to determine whether the Work or desig.

able under the Contract Documents and the Contract fuIIy per-
formed, the Architect will promptly issue a fIna1 Cerrlficate for
Payment stating that to the best of the Architect's knowledge,
Information and belief, and on the basis of the Architect's
observations and Inspections, the Work has been completed In
accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Docu.
ments and that the entire balance found to be due the Contrac-
tor and noted In said final Certificate Is due and payable. The
Architect's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further
representation that conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2 as
precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment
have been fulfilled.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remauung retained
percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to
the Architect (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and
equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work
for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner)
have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a cerrlficate evidenc-
ing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to
remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will
not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days'
prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written
statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason
that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period
required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if
any, to fIna1 paymem and (5), if required by the Owner, other
data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as
receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests
or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to, the; extent and
in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcon~
tractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the
Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the
Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien
remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor
shall refund to the Owner :aU money that the Owner may be
compelled to pay In discharging such lien, Including all costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, fIna1 com-
pletion thereof Is materia11y delayed through no fault of the
Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting fIna1
completion, and the Architect so confirms, the Owner shall,
upon application by the Contractor and certification by the
Architect, and without terminating the Comract, make payment
of the balance due for that porrlon of the Work fuIIy completed
and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fuIIy com-
pleted or corrected Is less than retainage stipulated In the Con-
tract Documents, and If bonds have been furnished, the written
consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that por-
tion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submit-
ted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to certification of
such payment. Such payment shall be made under tenns and
conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of cia1ms. The making of fIna1 payment shall .
constitute a waiver of claims by the Owner as provided in Sub-
paragraph 4.3.5.
9.10.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Sub-
contractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of
cia1ms by that payee except those previously made In writing
and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of fIna1
Application for Payment. Such waivers shall be In addition to
the waiver described In Subparagraph 4.3.5.

ing and repiacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be

panl8raph 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special warranty
required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found
to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the
Owner has previously given the Contractor a written accep-
tance of such condition. This pedod of one year shall be
extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after
Substantial Completion by the pedod of time between Substan-
tial Completion and the acttial performance of the Work. This
obligation under this Subparagraph 12.2.2 shall survive accep-
tance of the Work under the Contract and termlnation of the
Contract. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after dis-
covery of the condition.
12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of
the Work which are not in accordance with the requirements
of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the
Contractor nOf accepted by the Owner.
12.2.4 If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work

notice sell such materials and equipment at auction or at private
sale and shall account for the proceeds thereof, after deducting
costs and damages that should have been borne by the Con-
tractor, including compensation for the Architect's services and
expenses made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do

Contract Sum shall be reduced by the deficiency. If payments
then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the
Owner.
12.2.5 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting
destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or
partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors
caused by the Contractor's correction or removal of Work

tract Documents.

strued to establish a pedod of limitation with respeClto other
obligations which the Contractor might have under the Con-
tract Documents. Establishment of the time pedod of one year
as descdbed in Subparagraph 12.2.2 relates only to the specific
obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no
relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply
with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced,
nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced
to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to the Con-
tractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents,

rection, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as
appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected
whether or not final payment has been made.

subcontractor, of any sanction authorized by the Order and the regulations In
this sub-part. Any such failure shall be reported in writing to the Director by

The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules
to be used by the Contractor, separate contractors and the
Owner until subsequently revised.
6.1.4 Uniess otherwise provided in the Contract-T)ocuments,
when the Owner performs construction or operations related
to the Project with the Owner's own forces, the Owner shall be

proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to
the Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other
construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper
execution and results: Failure of the Contractor 50 to report
shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's or sepa-
rate contractors' completed or partially completed construction
is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's Work, except as to
defects not then reasonably discoverable.
6.2.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities
or defective construction shall be borne by the party responsi.

9.1 CONTRACT SUM
9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, includ.
ing authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the
Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under
the Contract Documents.
9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
9.2.1 Before the firs, Application for Payment, the Contractor
shall submit to the Architect a schedule of values allocated to
various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and sup-
ported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect
may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect,
shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applica-
tions for Payment.
9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each
progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect
an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed
in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application
shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data
substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner
or Architect may require, such as copies of requisitions from
Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage
if provided for elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
9.3.1.1 Such applications may include requests for payment on
account of changes in the Work which have been properly
authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet
included in Change Orders.
9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for pay-
ment of amounts the Contractor does not intend to pay to a
Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other
reason.
9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment
delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incor-
pocation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner,
payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment
suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.
Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site
shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with
procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's
title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the
Owner's interest, and shall include applicable insurance,
stocage and transportation to the site for such materials and
equipment stored off the site.
9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by
an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than
the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that
upon submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for
which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued
and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the
Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, be free and
clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in
favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or
other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having
provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.

.
Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contrac.
tor, for such ambunt as the Architect determines is properly
due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Architect's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in
part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.
9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the
Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowl-
edge, information and belief, quality of the Work is in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representa-
tions are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance
with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to
results of subsequem tests and inspections, to minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion
and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect. The
issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a
representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the
amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Pay-
ment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1)
made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check: the
quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3)
reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors
and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner
to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made
examination to asceretin how or for what purpose the Contrac-
tor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract
Sum.
9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION
9.5.1 The Architect may decide not to certify payment and
may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to
the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the
Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required
by Subparagraph 9.4.2 cannot be made. If the Architect is
unable to cenify payment in the amount of the Application, the
Architect will notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in
Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Architect cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a
Cenificate for Payment for the amount for which the Architect
is able to make such representations to the OWner. The Archi~
tect may also decide not to certify payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent observations,
may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment
previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the
Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
.1 defective Work not remedied;
.2 third party claims rued or reasonable evidence indicat-
ing probable filing of such claims;
.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments prop-
erly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment;
.4 reasonable evidence that "the Work cannot be com-
pleted for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor;
.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be com-
pleted within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid
balance would not be adequate to cover actual or
liquidated dantages for the anticip:tted delay; or
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are
removed, certification will be made for amounts previously
withheld.
9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
9.6.1 After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment,
the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the
time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify
the Architect.
9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor,
upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount
paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's por-
tion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is
entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments
to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion
of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement
with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make
payments to Sub.subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of com-
pletion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action
taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on account of por-
tions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation
to payor to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor
except as may otherwise be required by law.
9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner
similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.
9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial
or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall
not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
9.7.1 If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment,
through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after
receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the
Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven days after the
date established in the Contract Documents the amount cer-
tified by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, then the Con-
tractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the
Owner and Architect, stop the Work until payment of the
amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be
extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be
increased by the amount of the Contractor's rea5Oll2ble costs of
shut-down, delay and start-up, which shall be accomplished as
provided in Article 7.
9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLEl1ON
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the
Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is suffi~
ciently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents
so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended
use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or.a por-
tion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is
substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit
to the Architect a comprehensive list of items to be completed
or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly (Q com~
plete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on
such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments. Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect will
make an inspection to determine whether the Work or desig-

.
nated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect's inspection discloses any item, whether or not
included on the Contractor's list, which is not in accordance
with the requirements afthe Contract Documents, the Contrac.
tor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Com-
pletion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the
Architect. The Contractor shall then submit a request for
another inspection by the Architect to determine Substantial
Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is
substantially complete, the Architect will prepare a Certificate
of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Sub-
stantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the
Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities,
damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time
within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list
accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Con-
teact Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Comple-
tion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be sub-
mitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written accep.
tance of responsibilities assigned. to them in such Cenificate.
9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
ponion thereof and upon application by the Contractor and
cenification by the Architect, the Owner shall make payment,
reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or por-
tion thereof as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE
9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or par.
tially completed ponion of the Work at any stage when such
ponion is designated by separate agreement with the Contrac.
tor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the
insurer as required under Subparagraph 11.3.11 and authorized
by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such
panial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the .
portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and
Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities
assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if any, secu.
rity, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insur-
ance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for cor.
reerion of the Work and commencement of warranties
required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor
considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall
prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under
Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occu-
pancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of
the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agree-
ment between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is
reached, by decision of the Architect.
9.9.2 Immediately ptior to such partial occupancy or use, the
Owner, Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect the area
to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to
determine and record the condition of the Work.
9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, parrial occupancy or use
of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute accep-
tance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready
for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final
AppUcatlon for Payment, the Architect will promptly make
.
such inspection and, when the Architect fOlds the Work accept-
able under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully per-
formed, the Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for
Payment stating that to the best of the Architect's knowledge,
information and belief, and on the basis of the Architect's
observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in
accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Docu.
ments and that the entire balance found to be due the Contrac-
tor and noted in said final Certificate is due and payable. The
Architect's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further
representation that conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2 as
precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment
have been fulfiUed.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaIrting retained
percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to
the Architect (I) an aIlidavit that payroUs, bills for matetla1s and
equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work
for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner)
have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidenc-
ing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to
remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will
not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days'
prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written
statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason
that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period
required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if
any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other
data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as
receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests
or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to. the extent and
in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcon-
tractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the
Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the
Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien
remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor
shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be
compelled to pay in discharging such Uen, including all costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, fInal com-
pletion thereof is matetla1ly delayed through no fault of the
Contractor. or by issuance of Change Orders affecting fina1
completion, and the Architect so confirms, the Owner shall,
upon application by the Contractor and certification by the
Architect, and without terminating the Contract, make payment
of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed
and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully com-
pleted or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Con-
tract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written
consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that por-
tion of the Work fuUy completed and accepted shall be submit-
ted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to certification of
such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and
conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims. The making of fmal payment shall. _
constitute a waiver of claims by the Owner as provided in Sub-
paragraph 4.3.5.
9.10.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Sub-
contractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of
claims by that payee except those previously made in writing
and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of fina1
Application for. Payment. Such waivers shall be in addition to
the waiver described in Subparagraph 4.3.5.
