destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work.

D. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) because of any delay in

the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies under this
paragraph 13.09.

ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values

A. The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.01.A will serve as the basis for progress payments
and will be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on
account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.

14.02 Progress Payment

A. Review of Applications.

I. Prior to submittal of Application for Payment to OWNER (but not more often than once a month), the
CONTRACTOR shall submit the monthly progress estimate to the ENGINEER for review and approval.

2. ENGINEER will, within 10 working days after receipt of each progress estimate, either indicate in writing a
recommendation of payment or indicate in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment and
return the progress estimate to CONTRACTOR. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the Application.

3. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in a progress estimate will constitute a representation by
ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGINEER's observations on the Site of the executed Work as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying date
and schedules, that to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief:

a. The Work has progressed to the point indicated;

b. The quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of
the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price
Work under paragraph 9.08 and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and

c. The conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to such payment appears to have been fulfilled
in so far as it is ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work.

4. By recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: (i)
inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive,
extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents; or (ii) that there may not be other
matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or
entitle OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.

5. Neither ENGINEER's review of CONTRACTOR's Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor
ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on

GC - 45 of 53

ENGINEER to supervise, direct, or control the Work or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for CONTRACTOR's
failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work.
Additionally, said review or recommendation will not impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any
examination to ascertain how or for what purposes CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid on account of the

Contract Price, or to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free
and clear of any Liens.

6. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.02.B.2. ENGINEER may
also refuse to recommend any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such
extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:

a. The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring correction or replacement;
b. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Orders;

c. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph
13.09; or

d. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraph 15.02.A.

B. Applications for Payments.

1, CONTRACTOR shall submit to OWNER the ENGINEER recommended Application for Payment filled out and
signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials
and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed
to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation
warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the
materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance or other arrangements to protect OWNER's
interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to OWNER. Any request for partial or final payment shall
specifically list the work completed. To facilitate the proper and timely payment of applications, the OWNER
requires that all applications must reference a valid PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER, as submitted to
CONTRACTOR under the Notice to Proceed, be in original format; OWNER will not authorize payments from carbon
or Xerox copies, and mailed directly to the following address:

City of Nashua

Accounts Payable

PO Box 2019

Nashua, NH 03061-2019

Attn: Division of Public Works

2. Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied
on account to discharge CONTRACTOR'S legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment.

3. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be stipulated in the Agreement.

C. Payment Becomes Due

1. Not more than 30 days after presentation of the application for payment to OWNER with ENGINEER’s
recommendation, the amount recommended will become due, and when due will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.

GC - 46 of 53

D. Reduction in Payment.
1. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because:

a. Claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the
Work;

b. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where CONTRACTOR has delivered a specific
Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;

c. There are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended; or

d. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 14.02.B.5.a
through 14.02.B.5.c or paragraph 15.02.A.

2. If OWNER refuses to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER, OWNER must give
CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action and
promptly pay CONTRACTOR any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. OWNER shall
promptly pay CONTRACTOR the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by OWNER and
CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the reasons for such action.

3. If it is subsequently determined that OWNER's refusal of payment was not justified, the amount wrongfully
withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by paragraph 14.02.C.1.

14.03 CONTRACTOR’S Warranty of Title

A. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any

Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of
payment free and clear of all Liens.

14.04 Substantial Completion

A. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER
and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by
CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Promptly
thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status
of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefore. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete,
ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the
date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to
make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such
objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will within 14 days after
submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefore. If
after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will
within said 14 days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time
of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a written recommendation to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat, utilities,
insurance, and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so
inform ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion,
ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.

GC - 47 of 53

B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion, but
OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.

14.05 Partial Utilization

A. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which has specifically been
identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a
separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended purpose without
significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior
to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following conditions.

1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the
Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR
agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and
ENGINEER that such part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of
paragraph 14.04 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the
division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.

2. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the requirements of
paragraph 5.10 regarding property insurance.

14.06 Final Inspection

A. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete,
ENGINEER will promptly make a_ final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.

CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such
deficiencies.

14.07 Final Payment

A. Application for Payment

1. After CONTRACTOR has, in the opinion of ENGINEER, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified
during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and
operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance certificates of
inspection, marked-up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.12), and other documents, CONTRACTOR
may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments.

2. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all
documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance
required by subparagraph 5.04.B.7; (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final payment; and (iii) complete and

legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all Lien rights arising out of or Liens filed in
connection with the Work.

3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens specified in paragraph 14.07.A.2 and as approved by OWNER,
CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that: (i) the releases
and receipts include all labor, services, material, and equipment for which a Lien could be filed; and (ii) all
payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or
OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or
Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other collateral
satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any lien.

GC - 48 of 53

B. Review of Application and Acceptance

1. If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and
ENGINEER's review of the final Application of Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the
Contract Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR's other
obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of the
final Application for Payment, indicate in writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present the
Application for Payment to OWNER for payment. At the same time ENGINEER will also give written notice to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.09.
Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the Application for Payment to CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the

reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment.

C. Payment Becomes Due

1. Thirty days after the presentation to OWNER of the Application for Payment and accompanying documentation,
the amount recommended by ENGINEER will become due and, when due, will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.

14.08 Final Completion Delayed

A. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if ENGINEER so
confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of
ENGINEER, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work
fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or
corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in
paragraph 5.01, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment.

Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute
a waiver of Claims.

14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
1. A waiver of all Claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than those previously made in writing which
are still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.01 Termination, Abandonment, or Suspension at Will
The OWNER, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate, abandon, or suspend all or part of the project and
contract at will. If the OWNER chooses to terminate, abandon, or suspend all or part of the project, it shall provide

CONTRACTOR 10 day’s written notice of its intent to do so.

If all or part of the project is suspended for more than 90 days, the suspension shall be treated as a termination at will
of all or part of the project and contract.

Upon receipt of notice of termination, abandonment, or suspension at will, CONTRACTOR shall:
1. Immediately discontinue work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice.

2. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities, other than as may be necessary or

orders or subcontracts to the extent they relate to the performance of work terminated, abandoned, or suspended

under the notice, assign to the OWNER any orders or subcontracts specified in the notice, and revoke agreements
specified in the notice.

4, Not resume work after the effective date of a notice of suspension until receipt of a written notice from the
OWNER to resume performance.

In the event of a termination, abandonment, or suspension at will, CONTRACTOR shall receive all amounts due and
not previously paid to CONTRACTOR for work satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract prior to the
date of the notice and compensation for work thereafter completed as specified in the notice. No amount shall be
allowed or paid for anticipated profit on unperformed services or other unperformed work.

15.02 Termination for Cause

This agreement may be terminated by the OWNER on 10 calendar day’s written notice to CONTRACTOR in the event
of a failure by CONTRACTOR to adhere to any or all the terms and conditions of the contract or for failure to
satisfactorily, in the sole opinion of the OWNER, to complete or make sufficient progress on the work in a timely and
professional manner. CONTRACTOR shall be given an opportunity for consultation with the OWNER prior to the
effective date of the termination. CONTRACTOR may terminate the contract on 10 calendar days written notice if,

through no fault of CONTRACTOR, the OWNER fails to pay CONTRACTOR for 45 days after the date of approval

orders or sub contracts to the extent they relate to the performance of work terminated, abandoned, or
suspended under the notice, assign to the OWNER any orders or sub contracts specified in the notice, and
revoke agreements specified in the notice.

5. Not resume work after the effective date of a notice of termination unless and until receipt of a written notice
from the OWNER to resume performance.

In the event of a termination for cause, CONTRACTOR shall receive all amounts due and not previously paid to
CONTRACTOR for work satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract prior to the date of the notice, less
all previous payments. No amount shall be allowed or paid for anticipated profit on unperformed services or other
unperformed work. Any such payment may be adjusted to the extent of any additional costs occasioned to the
OWNER by reasons of CONTRACTOR's failure. CONTRACTOR shall not be relieved of liability to the OWNER for
damages sustained from the failure, and the OWNER may withhold any payment to the CONTRACTOR until such
time as the exact amount of damages due to the OWNER is determined. All claims for payment by the
CONTRACTOR must be submitted to the OWNER within 30 days of the effective date of the notice of termination.

If after termination for the failure of CONTRACTOR to adhere to any of the terms and conditions of the contract or for
failure to satisfactorily, in the sole opinion of the OWNER, to complete or make sufficient progress on the work in a
timely and professional manner, it is determined that CONTRACTOR had not so failed, the termination shall be
deemed to have been a termination at will. In that event, the OWNER shall, if necessary, make an adjustment in the
compensation paid to CONTRACTOR such that CONTRACTOR receives total compensation in the same amount as it
would have received in the event of a termination-at-will.
