the Contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
12.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one
calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:
12.3 Provided an Application of Payment is received by the Architect not
later than the FIFTEENTH (15th) day of a month, the Owner shall make
payment to the Contractor not later than the THIRTIETH (30th) day of
the SAME month. If an Application for Payment is received by the
Architect after the application date fixed above, payment shall be
made by the Owner not later than FIFTEEN (15) days after the

12.4 With each Application for Payment the Contractor shall submit
payrolls, xxxxx cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with
check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner
or Architect to demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by
the Contractor on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1)
progress payments already received by the Contractor; less (2) that
portion of those payments attributable to the Contractor's Fee; plus
(3) payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for
Payment; plus (4) retainage provided in Subparagraph 12.5.4, if any,
applicable to prior progress payments.
12.5 CONTRACTS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE
12.5.1 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent
schedule of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire
Guaranteed Maximum Price among the various portions of the Work,
except that the Contractor's Fee shall be shown as a single separate
item. The schedule of values shall be prepared in such form and
supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect
may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect,
shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications
for Payment.
12.5.2 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work at the end of the period covered by the
Application for Payment. The percentage completion shall be the
lesser of (1) the percentage of that portion of the Work which has
actually been completed or (2) the percentage obtained by dividing
(a) the expense which has actually been incurred by the Contractor on
account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has made
or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for
Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to
that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.
12.5.3 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of
each progress payment shall be computed as follows:
12.5.3.1 Take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly
allocable to the completed Work as determined by multiplying the
percentage completion of each portion of the Work by the share of
the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work
in the schedule of values.
9
12.5.3.2 Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for
subsequent incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the
Owner, suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in
writing.
12.5.3.3 Add the Contractor's Fee, less retainage of ZERO PERCENT (0%). The
Contractor's Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described
in the two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in paragraph 5.1 or,
if the Contractor's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph,
shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as
the Cost of the Work in the two preceding Clauses bears to a
reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its
completion.
12.5.3.4 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.
12.5.3.5 Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the
documentation required by Paragraph 12.4 to substantiate prior
Applications for Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently
discovered by the Owner's accountants in such documentation.
12.5.3.6 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5 of
the General Conditions.
12.5.4 Additional retainage, if any shall be as follows:
N/A
12.7 Except with the Owner's prior approval, payments to Subcontractors
included in the Contractor's Applications for Payment shall not exceed
an amount for each Subcontractor calculated as follows:
12.7.1 Take that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion
of each portion of the Subcontractor's Work by the share of the total
Subcontract Sum allocated to that portion in the Subcontractor's
schedule of values, less retainage of TEN PERCENT (10%). Pending final
determination of amounts to be paid to the Subcontractor for changes
in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be included as provided in
Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions even though the
Subcontract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.
12.7.2 Add that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for
subsequent incorporation in the Work 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%).
12.7.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Contractor to
the Subcontractor.
12.7.4 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment by the Owner to the Contractor for
reasons which are the fault of the Subcontractor.
12.7.5 Add, upon Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the Contractor,
a sum sufficient to increase the total payments to the Subcontractor
to ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of the Subcontract Sum, less amounts, if
any, for incomplete Work and unsettled claims; and, if final
completion of the entire Work is thereafter materially delayed through
no fault of the Subcontractor, add any additional amounts payable on
account of Work of the Subcontractor in accordance with Subparagraph
9.10.3 of the General Conditions. The Subcontract Sum is the total
amount stipulated in the subcontract to be paid by the Contractor to
the Subcontractor for the Subcontractor's performance of the
subcontract.
10
12.7.6 WHEN THE WORK IS 50% COMPLETE, AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE BILLING TO
GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, THE OWNER, AT HIS DISCRETION, MAY REDUCE
SUBCONTRACTOR RETAINAGE TO 5% OF THE SUBCONTRACT AMOUNT.
12.8 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.
12.9 In taking action on the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the
Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness
of the information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed
to represent that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit
or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted in
accordance with Paragraph 12.4 or other supporting data; that the
Architect has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections or
that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how or for what
purposes the Contractor has used amounts previously paid on account of
the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required
by the Owner, will be performed by the Owner's accountants acting in
the sole interest of the Owner.
ARTICLE 13
FINAL PAYMENT
13.1 Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when (1)
the Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor except for the
Contractor's responsibility to correct defective or nonconforming
Work, as provided in Subparagraph 12.2.2 of the General Conditions,
and to satisfy other requirements, if any, which necessarily survive
final payment; (2) a final Application for Payment and a final
accounting for the Cost of the Work have been submitted by the
Contractor and reviewed by the Owner's representative and accountants;
and (3) a final Certificate for Payment has then been issued by the
Architect; such final payment shall be made by the Owner not more than
30 days after issuance of the Architect's final Certificate for
Payment, or as follows:
13.2 The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:
13.2.1 Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Contractor's
final accounting and the Contractor's Fee; but not more than the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any.
13.2.2 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole
or in part, a final Certificate for Payment as provided in
Subparagraph 9.5.1 of the General Conditions or other provisions of
the Contract Documents.
13.2.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner. If the
aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount
due the Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the difference to
the Owner.
13.3 The Owner's representatives and accountants will review and report in
writing on the Contractor's final accounting within 30 days after
delivery of the final accounting to the Architect by the Contractor.
Based upon such Cost of the Work as the Owner's accountants report to
be substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting, and provided
the other conditions of Paragraph 13.1 have been met, the Architect
will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the
Owner's accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for
Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and
Owner in writing of the Architect's reasons for withholding a
certificate as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of the General
Conditions. The time periods stated in this Paragraph 13.3 supersede
those stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of the General Conditions.
11
13.4 If the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the Work as
substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting to be less than
claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to demand
arbitration of the disputed amount without a further decision of the
Architect. Such demand for arbitration shall be made by the
Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor's receipt of a copy of
the Architect's final Certificate for Payment; failure to demand
arbitration within this 30-day period shall result in the
substantiated amount reported by the Owner's accountants becoming
binding on the Contractor. Pending a final resolution by arbitration,
the Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount certified in the
Architect's final Certificate for Payment.
13.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request, the
Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by
Article 8 to correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall
reimburse the Contractor such costs and the Contractor's Fee
applicable thereto on the same basis as if such costs had been
incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, if any. If the Contractor has participated in savings
as provided in Paragraph 5.2, the amount of such savings shall be
recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining
the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.
ARTICLE 14

General Conditions or another Contract Document, the reference refers
to that provision as amended or supplemented by other provisions of

the date payment is due at the rate stated below, or in the absence
thereof, at the legal rate prevailing from time to time at the place

to the Contractor under Subparagraph 14.1.2 of the General Conditions
shall not exceed the amount the Contractor would be entitled to
receive under Paragraph 15.3 below.
15.2 If a Guaranteed Maximum Price is established in Article 5, the
Contract may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in
Article 14 of the General Conditions; however, the amount, if any, to

Conditions shall not cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be
exceeded, nor shall it exceed the amount the Contractor would be
entitled to receive under Paragraph 15.3 below.
15.3 If no Guaranteed Maximum Price is established in Article 5, the
Contract may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in

termination.
12
15.3.2 Add to the Contractor's Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the
date of termination at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if the
Contractor's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph, an
amount which bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost
of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate
of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion.
15.3.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner. The
Owner shall also pay the Contractor fair compensation, either by
purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment
owned by the Contractor which the Owner elects to retain and which is
not otherwise included in the Cost of the Work under Subparagraph
15.3.1. To the extent that the Owner elects to take legal assignment
