Contract Documents.
9.2 Schedule of Values
9.2.1 Before submittal of the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the
Architect, through Project Management, a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the
Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as Project

Management or Architect, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications
for Payment.
9.3 Applications for Payment
9.3.1 At least fifteen days before the date established for each progress payment, the
Contractor shall submit to the Architect an itemized Application for Payment for Work completed
in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized and supported
by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner, Project
Management 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.
.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

00750 -22
8/18/2011 GENERAL CONDITIONS
Renovation & Addition, Fire Station #17 Conch Key
shall include applicable insurance, storage 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

knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims security interests or
encumbrances in favor of the Cohtractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or
entities making 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 After the Architect's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, Project Management
and Architect will either approve the Application for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for

Contractor in writing of Project Management'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 Project Management 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 Project
Management'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
Project Management 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 representation that
Project Management 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

approve any Application for Payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or
00750 -23
8/18/2011 GENERAL CONDITIONS

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 Project Management, 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.

Owner and Project Management.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding approval are removed, approval will be made
for amounts previously withheld.
9.6 Progress Payments
9.6.1 After Project Management 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 Project Management and Architect. From the total of the
amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, a retainage in accordance with the
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 bid or
covered by approved change orders, except when such excess quantities have been
determined by Project Management to be a part of the final quantity for the item of Work in
question.

Work in place, 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

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 Project Management 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, Project Management and Architect on account of portions of
the Work done by such Subcontractor.

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 Project Management 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

appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each Subcontractor to make
payments to his suppliers and Sub - subcontractors in a similar manner.
9.8 Substantial 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 Project Management
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, Project
Management, 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 Project Management, to determine Substantial Completion. When the
Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, Project Management 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 Project Management, the Owner shall make
payment, reflecting 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

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 Project Management 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 Project Management.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Project Management and
Contractor 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.

written Notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward

Management will forward the Notice and Application to the Architect who will promptly make
such inspection. When the Architect, based on the recommendation of Project Management,
finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed,
Project Management 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. Project Management'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.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the Architect through Project Management (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 certificate evidencing that insurance
required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is made, is currently
in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice

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,

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 nor accepted by the Owner.
12.2.4 If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, the
Owner may correct it in accordance with Paragraph 2.4. If the Contractor does not proceed with
correction of such nonconforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the
Architect issued through Project Management, the Owner may remove it and store the salvable
materials or equipment at the Contractor's expense. If the Contractor does not pay costs of such
removal and storage within ten days after written notice, the Owner may upon ten additional
days' written 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
bome by the Contractor, including compensation for Project Management's and Architect's
services and expenses made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover costs
which the Contractor should have bome, the 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 other Contractors caused by the
Contractor's correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract Documents.
12.2.6 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
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 the 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,
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.
