A. Applications for Payment
i. Payments shall be made as provided in Article 3 of this Agreement. Applications for Payment shall be
in a form satisfactory to District 158.
ii. The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to
District 158 no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of
an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued
and payments received from District 158 shall, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, information
and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances adverse to
District 158’s interests.
B. Certificates for Payment
i. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation to District 158, that the Work
has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, information
and belief the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing
representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to correlation of minor
deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed
by District 158. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a representation that
the contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for
Payment will not be a representation that District 158 has (1) made exhaustive or continuous onsite
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors
and material suppliers and other data requested by District 158 to substantiate the Contractor’s right to
payment, or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used
money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.
ii. District 158 may withhold payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect
District 158. If in District 158’s opinion the representations to District 158 required by section
13.B.i. cannot be made. District 158 may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment
previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary to protect District 158 from loss for which the
Contractor is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 7.B.ii,
because of:
1. defective Work not remedied;
2. third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims
unless security acceptable to District 158 is provided by the Contractor;
3. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials
or equipment;
4. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the
Contract Sum;
5. damage to District 158 or another contractor;
6. reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time and that
the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the
anticipated delay; or

to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor’s portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by

ii. District 158 shall not have an obligation to pay or see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor
except as may otherwise be required by law.
iii. A Certificate of Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by
District 158 shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
D. Substantial Completion
i. Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion
thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that District 158 can
occupy or utilize the Work for his intended use.
ii. When requested by the Contractor, District 158 determines that the Work or designated portion
thereof is substantially complete, District 158 will issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion which
shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, establish responsibilities of District 158 and
Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and fix the
time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate.
Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of final acceptance of the
Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial
Completion.
E. Final Completion and Final Payment
i. Upon receipt of written notice from the contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, District 158 will promptly make such
inspection and, when District 158 finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the
Contract fully performed, District 158 will promptly issue a statement that the Work has been
completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire
balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in the final Certificate is due and payable.
ii. Final payment shall not become due until the Contractor has delivered to District 158 a complete
release of all items arising out of this Contract or receipts in full covering all labor, materials and
equipment for which a lien could be filed, or a bond satisfactory to District 158 to indemnify District
158 against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor shall
refund to District 158 all money that District 158 may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien,
including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
iii. The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of claims by District 158 except those arising
from:

2. failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or
3. terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

§ 15.4 ARBITRATION
NOTE: All references to “Arbitration” in Section 15.4 shall be considered permissive and not
mandatory. The Owner shall, in its sole discretion, have the right and option to enforce any
claim it may have against the Contractor, or against any of the Subcontractors, Subsubcontractors, Suppliers or Vendors of Contractor, through litigation. The Owner shall, in its
sole discretion, also have the right and option to refuse to arbitrate any claim brought against
Owner by the Contractor, either on Contractor’s own behalf, or on behalf of any of the
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, Suppliers or Vendors of Contractor, and demand that
such claim be pursued through litigation. In the event the Owner exercises its right and option
to refuse to arbitrate a claim brought against the Owner, written notice of such refusal shall be
given by Owner to the party making the claim and to any tribunal administering the claim at
any time up to and including the date when Owner is required by any applicable statute, rule
or order to respond to such claim.
§ 15.4.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in
the Agreement, any Claim shall be subject to arbitration unless the Owner decides to pursue
the claim through litigation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be
administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction
Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the Agreement. A demand for arbitration
shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Contract, and filed with the person
or entity administering the arbitration. The party filing a notice of demand for arbitration must
assert in the demand all Claims then known to that party on which arbitration is permitted to

§ 15.4.1.1 A demand for arbitration in no event shall it be made after the date when the
institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Claim would be barred by the
applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations purposes, receipt of a written
demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall constitute
the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Claim.
§ 15.4.2 The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be
entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
§ 15.4.3 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an

shall include, by consolidation or joinder or in any other manner, the Architect, the Architect's
employees or consultants, except by written consent containing specific reference to the
Agreement and signed by the Architect, Owner, Contractor and any other person or entity

manner, parties other than the Owner, Contractor, a separate contractor as described in
Article 6 and other persons substantially involved in a common question of fact or law whose
presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration. No person or entity
other than the Owner, Contractor or a separate contractor as described in Article 6 shall be
included as an original third party or additional third party to an arbitration whose interest or
responsibility is insubstantial. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity
shall not constitute consent to arbitration of a Claim not described therein or with a person or
entity not named or described therein. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other
agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties to the
Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having
