§ 5.1.5 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage of completion of each
portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for
Payment.

§ 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 7.3.9 of AIA Document
A201™–2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction;

 

  .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 Ten
percent (10%);

 

  .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 A201–2007.

§ 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 the 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 A201–2007 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 A201–2007.

§ 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.)

§ 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

§ 5.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract
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

  6. Due to a lack of ground water concerns, we have not included casing piers
in our proposal. However, we may need to case all or some of the piers due to
water injecting the building pad. This will be handled on a per unit rate if
required.

 

  7. We have provided building pad preparation as follows:

 

  •  

Excavate to 5’-0” below building sub grade to a distance 5’-0” outside the
building perimeter (10’-0” at all entrances).

 

  •  

Water injection stabilization to a depth of 20’-0” below excavated grade (5
passes included). Additional passes will be handled on a per unit rate if
required.

 

  •
