The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Pay- ment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. AppliuliDn for Prognu Paym.m: 14.2. At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not more often than once a month). CON. TRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Appli- cation for Payment tilled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing. the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale. invoice or other documentation wananting that O~ER has received . tbe materials and equipment free and clear of all liens. charges. security interests and encumbrances (which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens") and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein. all of which will be sat- isfactory to OWNER.

Ten days after presentation of the Application for Pay- ment with ENGINEER's recommendation. the amount rec- ommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a 26 1 I representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI- NEER's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI- NEER's review of ihe Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro- ~ gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI- N EER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion. to the results of any .subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents. to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9,10. and to any other qualifi- cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC- TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended, However. by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus- tive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Docume'nts or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC- TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.

Within a reasonable time thereafter. OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to deter- mine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not con- sider the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or cor- rected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If. after considering such objec- tions. ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substan- tially complete. ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If. after consideration of OWNER's objections. ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be com. pleted or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consider- ation of any objections from OWNER. At the time oi delivery of the tentative cenificate of Substantial Completion ENGI. NEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security. operation. safety. maintenance. heat. utilities. insurance and warranties.

If CON- TRAcrOR agrees. CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CON- TRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGI- NEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan- tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif- icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request. OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspec- tion of that part of the Work to determine its s.atus of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify. OWNER and CONTRAcrOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete. the provisions of para- graphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respectto certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
