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 filled 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 warnmting that OWNER has received the materials and cquipmem f~ee and clear of all liens, cha~es, security interests and encumbrances (which ara 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. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the A~'eement. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that ti{Je to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any Appli- cation for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Re~iew of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. ENGINEER will. within ten days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a. recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indi- cating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to rec- ommend payment. In the latter case. CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Applica- tion. 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 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 the 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- NEER'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 nfany 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 *,he quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigne~i to ENGINEER in the Contract Decuments 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. 14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC- TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have be~n fulfilled. 14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or uny part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay- ment, or, becouse of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement, 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Writ- ten Amendment or Change Order, 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defec- tire Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14, or 14.7.4. of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2. I through 15.2.9 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's per- formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate wfinen notice (with a copy to ENGINEER1 stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGI- NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. 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 Wonk 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 OWNE~, 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 shah 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 al~er consider- ation of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGI- NEER will deliver to OWN ER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respact to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's afore- said recommendation will be binding on OWN ER and CON- TRACTOR until final payment. 14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CON- TRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Com- pletion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.

OWNER at any time may request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of ibc Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CON- TKACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWN ER and ENGINEER that said part oftbe 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 status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of parn- graphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto, 14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to ENGINEER and within a reasonable time there- after OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writ- ing to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER. ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insur- ance. warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CON- TRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation lunless they shall have otherwise agreed in writ- ing and so informed ENGINEERI.

Waiver of Claims: 14.16. Thc making and acceptance of final payment will constitute: 14.16.1. a v, aivcr of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR. except claims arising from unsettled Liens. from dcl~'ctive Work appearing after final inspec- tion pursuant Io paragraph 14. I I or from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantee:, specified therein: however, it will not consti- tute a wai~er by OWNER of any rights in respect of CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the Con- tract Documents; and 14.16.2~ a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWN ER other than those previously made in writ- ing and still unsettled.
