.1 Such applications may include request 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.
.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment 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
incorporation 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

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 mafcing a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to
the Work. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall execute an agreement stating that
title will so pass, upon their receipt of payment from the Contractor. The warranties are for the
administrative convenience of the Owner only and do not create an obligation on the part of the
Owner to pay directly any unpaid subcontractor, laborer or materialmen. Such persons must
seek payment from the Contractor or his public construction bond surety only.
9.4 Approval for Payment
9.4.1 The Architect will assemble a Project Application for Payment by combining the
Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from other Contractors
and certify the amounts due on such applications.
9.4.2 Aftelr the Architect's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, Facilities
Development and Architect will either approve the Application for Payment, with a copy to the
Contractor, for such amount as Facilities Development and Architect determine is properly due,
or notify the Contractor in writing of Facilities Development's and Architect's reasons for
withholding approval in whole or in part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.
9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will constitute representations made
separately by Facilities Development and Architect to the Owner, based on their individual
observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment submitted by the
Contractor, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of Facilities
Development's and Architect's knowledge, information and belief, quality of the Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations 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
Facilities Development or Architect. The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will
further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount
approved. However, the issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will not be a
10/18/2007 General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 00750-22
Big Pine K(:y Fire Station
representation that Facilities Development or Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed the Contractor's
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 Contractor has used money previously paid on account of
the Contract Sum.
9.5 Decisions to Withhold Approval
9.5.1 Facilities Development/Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment if, in
his opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and Facilities
Development cannot agree on a revised amount, Facilities Development shall process the
Application for the amount it deems appropriate. Facilities Development may also decline to
approve any Application for Payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent inspections. It may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such
extent as may be necessary in its opinion because of: (1) defective Work not remedied; (2)
third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (3)
failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or
equipment; (4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance
of the Contract Sum; (5) damage to Facilities Development, the Owner, or another contractor
working at the project; (6) reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the
contract time; (7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
No payment shall be made to the Contractor until certificates of insurance or other evidence of
compliance by the Contractor, with all the requirements of Article 11, have been filed with the
Owner and Facilities Development.
9.5.2 Whein the above reasons for withholding approval are removed, approval will be made
for amounts previously withheld.
9.6 ProlJress Payments
9.6.1 After Facilities Development and Architect have issued an Approval for Payment, the
Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract
Documents, and shall so notify Facilities Development and Architect. From the total of the
amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, a retainage in accordance with the
Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes will be deducted
and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made. The balance of the amount payable,
less all previous payments, shall be approved for payment.
.1 It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or
receive progress payment based on quantities of Work in excess of those provided in the
proposal or covered by approved change orders, except when such excess quantities have
been determined by Facilities Development to be a part of the final quantity for the item of Work
in question.
.2 No progress payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or
Work in plac:e, as to quality or quantity. All progress payments are subject to correction at the
time of final payments.
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 portion of
the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually
10/18/2007
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-23

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
Subcontracltor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 Facilities Development will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable,
information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and
action taken thereon by the Owner, Facilities Development and Architect on account of portions
of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner, Facilities Development nor Architect shall have an obligation to pay
or 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 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.
9.6.7 All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the
sole property of the Owner, and by this provision shall not be construed as relieving the
Contractor from the sole responsibility for the materials and Work upon which payments have
been made or the restoration for any damaged material, or as a waiver of the right of the Owner
or Facilities Development to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract.
9.6.8 Except in case of bona fide disputes, or where the Contractor has some other justifiable
reason for delay, the Contractor shall pay for all transportation and utility services not later than
the end of the calendar month following that in which services are rendered and for all materials,
tools, and olther expendable equipment which are delivered at the site of the Project. The
Contractor shall pay to each of his Subcontractors, not later than the end of the calendar month
in which eaGh payment is made to the Contractor, the representative amount allowed the
Contractor on account of the Work performed by the Subcontractor. The Contractor shall, by an
appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each Subcontractor to make
payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 Subistantial Completion
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or
designated portion thereof is sufficiently 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 portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and Facilities
Development shall jointly prepare and submit to the Architect a comprehensive list of items to
be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete 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 Documents. Upon receipt of
the list, Facilities Development, will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or
designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the inspection discloses any item,
whether or not included on the list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial
Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect. The Contractor
shall then submit a request for another inspection by Facilities Development, to determine
Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete,
10/18/2007
General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
00750-24
Big Pine Key Fire Station
Facilities Development will prepare a Certificate of Substantial 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 Contract Documents shall
commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof
unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of
Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written
acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate.
9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon
application by the Contractor and certification by Facilities Development, the Owner shall make
payment, re,flecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or portion 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 partially completed portion of the Work
at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor,
provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as required under Subparagraph
11.3.1 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial
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, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and
insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and
commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor
considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor and Facilities Development shall
jointly prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under Subparagraph 9.8.2.
Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner
and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of Facilities Development.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Facilities Development
and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in
order to detl~rmine and record the condition of the Work.
9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the
Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment
9.10.1 Upon completion of the Work, the Contractor shall forward to Facilities Development a
written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward
to Facilities Development a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon receipt, Facilities
Development will forward the notice and Application to the Architect who will promptly make
such inspection. When the Architect, based on the recommendation of Facilities Development,
finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed,
Facilities Development and Architect will promptly issue a final Approval for Payment stating
that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of their observations
and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in
said final Approval is due and payable. Facilities Development's and Architect's final Approval
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.

9.10.4 Accl3ptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor 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 final Application for Payment. Such waivers
shall be in addition to the waiver described Subparagraph 4.7.5.
9.11 Payment of Subcontractors
9.11.1 Any requirement of this Article 9 that the Contractor furnish proof to the Owner,
Architect, Facilities Development that the subcontractors and materialmen have been paid is for

in writing by either Facilities Development or Architect, be uncovered for their observation and
be replaced at the Contractor's expense without change in the Contract Time.
12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which Facilities Development or Architect has
not specifically requested to observe prior to its being covered, Facilities Development or

by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner, if such Work is not in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless the condition was caused
by the Own,sr or one of the other Contractors in which event the Owner shall be responsible for
payment of such costs.
12.2 COrl'ection of Work

The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing
and inspections and compensation for Facilities Development's and Architect's services and
expenses made necessary thereby.
12.2.2 If, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof, or after the date for commencement of warranties established under
Subparagraph 9.9, 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 acceptance
of such condition. This period of one year shall be extended with respect to portions of Work
first pertormed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial
Completion and the actual pertormance of the Work. This obligation under this Subparagraph
12.2.2 shall survive acceptance of the Work under the Contract and termination of the Contract.

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,

limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract
Documents.. Establishment of the time period of one year as described 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 thle Contractor's liability with respect to the Contractor'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, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction,
