§ 9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
<br /> § 9.10.1 Upon receipt of the Contractor's written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance
<br /> and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment,the Architect will promptly make such inspection and,when the
<br /> Architect finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed,the Architect
<br /> will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Architect's knowledge,information
<br /> and belief,and on the basis of the Architect's on-site visits and inspections,the Work has been completed in
<br /> accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the
<br /> Contractor and noted in the final Certificate is due and payable.The Architect's final Certificate for Payment will
<br /> constitute a further representation that conditions listed in Section 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor's being
<br /> entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.
<br /> § 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits
<br /> to the Architect(1)an affidavit that payrolls,bills for materials and equipment,and other indebtedness connected
<br /> with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered(less amounts
<br /> withheld by Owner)have been paid or otherwise satisfied,(2)a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the
<br /> Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed
<br /> to expire until at least 30 days'prior written notice has been given to the Owner,(3)a written statement that the
<br /> Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by
<br /> the Contract Documents,(4)consent of surety,if any,to final payment and(5),if required by the Owner,other data
<br /> establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts,releases and waivers of liens,claims,security
<br /> interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract,to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the
<br /> Owner.If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner,the Contractor may furnish a
<br /> bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien.If such lien remains unsatisfied after
<br /> payments are made,the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in
<br /> discharging such lien,including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
<br /> § 9.10.3 If,after Substantial Completion of the Work,final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault
<br /> of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion,and the Architect so confirms,the
<br /> Owner shall,upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Architect,and without terminating the
<br /> Contract,make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted.If the
<br /> remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract
<br /> Documents,and if bonds have been furnished,the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that
<br /> portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to
<br /> certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment,
<br /> except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
<br /> § 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from
<br /> .1 liens,Claims,security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;
<br /> .2 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents;or
<br /> .3 terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.
