--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

§ 5.1.6 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of
each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

 

.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 Contract Sum allocated to that portion of the Work in the
schedule of values, less retainage of Ten percent (10%). Pending final
determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in
dispute shall be included as provided in Section 7.3.8 of AIA Document
A201-1997;

 

.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 of
percent (      %);

 

.3

Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; and

 

.4

Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or nullified a
Certificate for Payment as provided in Section 9.5 of AIA Document A201-1997.

§ 5.1.7 The progress payment amount determined in accordance with Section 5.1.6
shall be further modified under the following circumstances:

 

.1

add, upon Substantial Completion of the Work, a sum sufficient to increase the
total payments to he full amount of the Contract Sum, less such amounts as the
Architect shall determine for incomplete Work, retainage applicable to such work
and unsettled claims; and

 

 

(Section 9.8.5 of AIA Document A201-1997 requires release of applicable
retainage upon Substantial Completion of Work with consent of surety, If any.)

 

.2

add, if final completion of the Work is thereafter materially delayed through no
fault of the Contractor, any additional amounts payable in accordance with
Section 9.10.3 of AIA Document A201-1997.

§ 5.1.8 Reduction or limitation of retainage, if any, shall be as follows:
(If it is intended, prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work, to
reduce or limit the retainage resulting from the percentages inserted in
Sections 5.1.6.1 and 5.1.6.2 above, and this is not explained elsewhere in the
Contract Documents, insert here provisions for such reduction or limitation.)

 

Until the work is 50% complete, the owner will pay 90% of the amount due the
contractor on account progress payments. At the time the work and its progress
are and remain satisfactory to the architect,  and in the absence of other good
and sufficient reasons, the architect will authorize any remaining partial
payment to be paid in full.

§ 5.1.9 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, the Contractor shall not make
advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not been
delivered and stored at the site.

§ 5.2 FINAL PAYMENT

Sum, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when;

 

 

.1

the Contractor has fully performed the Contract except for the Contractor’s
responsibility to correct Work as provided in Section 12.2.2 of AIA Document
A201-1997, and to satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final
payment; and

 

 

.2

a final Certificate for Payment has been issued by the Architect.

30 days after the issuance of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment, or
