Contract Sum to the contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
5.2 The period covered by each Application for payment shall be one (1) calendar month
ending on the last day of the month.
5.3 Payment will be made by the Owner, upon receipt of a proper invoice from the Contractor,
in accordance with the Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Section 218.735,
Florida Statutes and Monroe County Code. The Contractor is to submit to the Owner
invoices with supporting documentation that are acceptable to the Monroe County Office

accepted accounting principles and such laws, rules and regulations as may govern the
disbursal of funds by the Clerk. The Owner is exempt from sales and use taxes. A copy of
the tax exemption certificate will be provided by the Owner upon request.

Facilities Maintenance may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Director of

for Payment.
-Page 5 of 20
5.5 Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of completion of each portion of
the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment.
5.6 Subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each progress
payment shall be computed as follows:
5.6.1 Take that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable to completed Work as determined
by multiplying the percentage completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the
total Contract Sum allocated to that portion of the Work in the Schedule of Values, less
retainage of five percent (5%). Pending final determination of cost to the Owner of changes
in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be included in Applications for Payment. The
amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change
which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be the net cost to the Owner,
less Overhead, Profit and Documented Costs incurred prior to the change Request, as
indicated in the corresponding line item in the Approved Schedule of Values for that line
item as confirmed by the Director of Facilities Maintenance. When both additions and
credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for
overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to
that change.
5.6.2 Add that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable to materials and equipment
delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the completed
construction (or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site at a
location agreed upon in writing), less retainage;
5.6.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; and
5.6.4 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Director of Facilities Maintenance has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5 of the General Conditions.
5.7 Retainage of five percent (5%) will be withheld in accordance with Section 218.735 (8)(a),
Florida Statutes.

provided by the Contractor, the Contractor agrees and warrants that the Contractor
shall hold the County harmless and shall indemnify it from all losses occurring thereby

requirements contained elsewhere within this Agreement.
