authorized by Change Order.
2. The Engineer, also, may at any time, by issuing a field order, make changes in the details of the work.
The Contractor shall proceed with the performance of any changes in the work so ordered by the
Engineer unless the Contractor believes that such field order entitles him to a change in the contract

Engineer, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for all work executed and all
expenses sustained. In addition, and in lieu of terminating the Contract, if the Engineer has failed to act

amounts then due, in which event and upon resumption of the work, Change Orders shall be issued for
adjusting the contract price or extending the contract time or both to compensate for the costs and delays
attributable to the stoppage of the work.
7. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended, delayed, or interrupted as a result of a
failure of the Owner or the Engineer to act within the time specified in the Contract Documents, or if no
time is specified, within reasonable time, an adjustment in the contract price or an extension of the
contract time or both, shall be made by Change Order to compensate the Contractor for the costs and
delays necessarily caused by the failure of the Owner or the Engineer.

1. Between the first (1st) and the fifth (5th) of each month, the Contractor will submit to the Engineer a
partial payment estimate filled out and signed by the Contractor on an approved form covering the work
performed during the period covered by the partial payment estimate and supported by such data as the
Engineer may reasonably require. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not
incorporated in the work but delivered and suitably stored at or near the site, the partial payment estimate
shall also be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory to the Owner, as will establish the
Owner's title to the material and equipment and protect his interest therein, including applicable
insurance. The Engineer will, within ten days after receipt of each partial payment estimate, either
indicate in writing his approval of payment and present the partial payment estimate to the Owner, or
return the partial payment estimate to the Contractor indicating in writing his reasons for refusing to
20
approve payment. In the latter case, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the partial payment estimate. The Owner will, within ten days of presentation to him of an approved
partial payment estimate, pay the Contractor a progress payment on the basis of the approved partial
payment estimate. The Owner shall retain ten (10 %) percent of the amount of each payment until final
completion and acceptance of all work covered by the Contract Documents. The Owner at any time,
however, after fifty (50 %) percent of the work has been completed, if he finds that satisfactory progress is
being made, may reduce the retained percentage to five (5 %) percent on the current and remaining
estimates. On completion and acceptance of a part of the work on which the price is stated separately in
the Contract Documents, payment may be made in full, including retained percentages, less authorized
deductions.
2. The request for payment may also include an allowance for the cost of such major materials and
equipment which are suitably stored and insured either at or near the site.
3. All work covered by partial payment shall thereupon become the sole property of the Owner, but this
provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor of the sole responsibility for the care and
protection of the work, material and equipment upon which payments have been made or the restoration
of any damaged work, or as a waiver of the right of the Owner to require the fulfillment of all terms of the
Contract Documents.
4. Upon completion and acceptance of the work, the Engineer shall issue a certificate attached to the final
payment request that the work has been accepted by him under the conditions of the Contract
Documents. The entire balance found to be due the Contractor, including the retained percentages shall
be paid to the Contractor, except such sums as may be lawfully retained by the Owner for saving the
Owner or the Owner's agents harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of
Subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of machinery and parts
thereof, equipment, tools and supplies, incurred in the furtherance of the performance of the work. The
Contractor shall, at the Owner's request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature
designated above have been paid, discharged, or waived. If the Contractor fails to do so, the Owner may,
after having notified the Contractor, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid
compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until
satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the
Contractor shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents, but in no event
shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the Owner to either the
Contractor, his Surety, or any third party. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, any payment so
made by the Owner shall be considered as a payment made under the Contract Documents by the
Owner to the Contractor and the Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments made
in good faith.
5. If the Owner fails to make payment 30 days after approval by the Engineer, in addition to other remedies
available to the Contractor, there may be added to each such payment, interest at a maximum rate of 1%
per month commencing on the first day after said payment is due and continuing until the payment is
received by the Contractor.
6. Prohibition Against Contingency Fees: The Contractor warrants that no person or selling agency has
been employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or understanding for a
commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees or bona fide
established commercial or selling agencies maintained by Contractor for the purpose of securing
business and that the Contractor has not received any non -Owner fee related to this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Owner. For breach or violation of this warranty, the Owner shall have the right
to annul this Agreement without liability or at its discretion to deduct from the Agreement Price of
consideration the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee.

of the Georgia Prompt Pay Act.
