§9.3.1.1 As provided in Section 7.3.8,such applications may include requests for payment on account of changes in
<br /> the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives,or by interim determinations of
<br /> the Architect,but not yet included in Change Orders.
<br /> §9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Contractor
<br /> does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier,unless such Work has been performed by others
<br /> whom the Contractor intends to pay.
<br /> I9.31.3 Until Substanrial Completion,the Owner shall pay ninety(90)percent of the amount due the Contractor on
<br /> account of progress payments.
<br /> §9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,payments shall be made on account of materials and
<br /> equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work.If approved in advance
<br /> by the Owner,payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location
<br /> agreed upon in writing.Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon
<br /> compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such
<br /> materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and shall include the costs of applicable
<br /> insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site.
<br /> §9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner
<br /> no later than the time of payment.The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for
<br /> Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the
<br /> Owner shall,to the best of the Contractor's knowledge,information and belief,be free and clear of liens,claims,
<br /> security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers,or other persons or
<br /> enti[ies making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.
<br /> §9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT
<br /> §9.4.1 The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment,either issue
<br /> to the Owner a Certificate for Payment,with a copy to the Contractor,for such amount as the Architect determines I�
<br /> is properly due,or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect's reasons for withholding �
<br /> certification in whole or in part as provided in Section 9.5.1.
<br /> §9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner,
<br /> based on the Architect's evaluation of the Work and the data comprising the Application for Payment,that the Work
<br /> has progressed to the point indicated and that,to the best of the ArchitecYs knowledge,inforrr►ation and belief,the
<br /> quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents.The foregoing representations are subject to an
<br /> evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion,to results of
<br /> subsequent tests and inspections,to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion
<br /> and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further
<br /> constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.However,the issuance
<br /> of a Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Architect has(1)made exhaustive or continuous on-
<br /> site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2)reviewed construction means,methods,techniques,
<br /> sequences or procedures,(3)reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers
<br /> and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment, or(4)made examination to
<br /> ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.
<br /> §9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION
<br /> §9.5.1 The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part,to the extent reasonably necessary
<br /> to protect the Owner,if in the Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section 9.4.2 cannot
<br /> be made.If the Architect is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application,the Architect will notify the
<br /> Contractor and Owner as provided in Section 9.4.1.If the Contractor and Architect cannot agree on a revised
<br /> amount,the Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Architect is able to
<br /> make such representations to the Owner.The Architect may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or,because of
<br /> subsequently discovered evidence,may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued,to
<br /> such extent as may be necessary in the Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which[he Contractor
<br /> is responsible,including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 3.3.2,because of:
