Miscellaneous items of work not specifically listed in the Contractor's proposal <br /> shall,be considered incidental to the contract work and the cost thereof shall be included in the <br /> appropriate contract bid item. ' <br /> GC-15 METHOD OF PAYMENT <br /> Requests for partial payment may be submitted, in writing, at least once each month by ' <br /> the,Contractor to the Engineer. Requests shall make an approximate estimate of the materials in <br /> place complete, the amount of work performed, and the value thereof, at the contract unit prices. , <br /> Copies of the certified payroll for employees of the Contractor and for the respective <br /> subcontractors should be submitted with the request. Copies of the invoices for materials and <br /> equipment actually on the job site for which payment is requested by the Contractor shall be <br /> included in the request. <br /> Payments by the City will be equal to the approved partial payment amount, less ' <br /> retainage in accordance with Section 109.07 of the Illinois Department of Transportation <br /> Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, adopted January 1, 1997. Retainage <br /> will be released to the Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the work and shall be used for ' <br /> necessary adjustments to the pay schedule which may result from irregularities, substitutions or <br /> changes. <br /> The City will deduct from the amount so determined for the first 50 percent of the ' <br /> completed work a sum of ten percent to be retained until after the completion of the entire work <br /> to the satisfaction of the Engineer. After 50 percent or more of the work is completed, the ' <br /> Engineer may, at his/her discretion, certify the remaining partial payments without any further <br /> retention,provided that satisfactory progress is being made, and provided that the amount <br /> retained is not less than five percent of the total adjusted contract price. When the principal items ' <br /> of the work have been satisfactorily completed, a semi-final estimate may be made with the <br /> consent of the surety. Payment to the Contractor under such an estimate shall not exceed 90 <br /> percent of the amount retained after making partial payments, but in no event shall the amount <br /> retained after making the semi-final payment be less than one percent of the adjusted contract <br /> price, nor less than $500.00. Retainage will be released to the Contractor upon satisfactory <br /> completion of the work and shall be used for necessary adjustments to the pay schedule which , <br /> may result from irregularities, substitutions or changes. <br /> The failure to perform any requirement, obligation, or term of the contract by the <br /> Contractor shall be reason for withholding any progress payments until the Department <br /> determines that compliance has been achieved. Furthermore, progress payments may be reduced <br /> by liens filed pursuant to Section 23(c)of the Mechanics Lien Act, 770 ILCS 60/23(c). <br /> 35 <br />
