PAYMENTS
A.Prior to submitting its first application for payment, Contractor shall provide City
with a schedule of values dividing the Work, and the Contract Amount, into workable categories
in a form acceptable to City. Each application for payment shall be based upon the percentage of
actual completion of each category, multiplied by the dollar value of such category.
B.On or about the first day of Contractor’s monthly accounting period, Contractor
shall submit an Application for Partial Payment to the Project Manager. In addition to the
amount of payment requested in the Application for Partial Payment, each application shall list
the original Contract Amount, the amount Contractor has invoiced City to date, the amount
Contractor has received to date, total additions to and deletions from the Contract Amount
pursuant to approved Change Orders, and an itemization of any further additions to or deletions
from the Contract Amount that Contractor claims. Contractor shall identify each Subcontractor
and supplier whom Contractor intends to pay from the requested payment and shall state the
amount Contractor intends to pay each such Subcontractor and supplier. An Application shall not
include a request for payment for any portion of the Work that was performed or furnished by a
8
Subcontractor or supplier if Contractordoes not intend to pay such Subcontractor or supplier
from such payment, nor shall the Application include a request for payment for any Work
performed deemed unsatisfactory by City. Contractor shall include with each Application all
supporting documentation as City may require. The City shall, within fifteen (15) days, review
and approve such Application, or return the Application to the Contractor indicating in writing
the reasons for refusing to approve payment. In the latter case, the Contractor may make the
necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of
payment from City, Contractor shall pay all subcontractors and suppliers to whom payment is
owed from the amount paid to Contractor.
C.All payments under this Agreement shall be made only upon properapproval of the
City. Project Manager shall review each application for payment and certify for payment such
amounts as Project Manager determines are due Contractor. From the total amount certified, City
shall withhold five percent (5%) as retainage until final completion and acceptance of the Work.
The five percent (5%) retainage may be reduced by Change Order if final completion and
acceptance of the Work is delayed due to unforseen circumstances and the Work is usable for its
intended purpose by the City. If reduction in the retainage is approved, the remaining retainage
shall be an amount equal to or greater than 200% of the estimated amount necessary to complete
the Work.
D.The City Treasurer, upon presentation of such certificate, shall prepare a check for
the sum certified to be due (exclusive of retainage), payable out of the funds in the City Treasury
available for Contractor under the authorizing Resolution or Ordinance approved by the Board of
Aldermen. Payment shall be made to Contractor after the Board of Aldermen review and
approve the payment and authorize the Mayor and City Treasurer to sign and deliver the check.
E.Neither Administrator nor Project Manager’s approval certificate nor payment made
to Contractor shall constitute acceptance of any part of the Work. Contractor shall remain
obligated to perform all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
F.With each Application, Contractor shall submit a signed certificate of receipt of
prior payments and release of claims and rights in connection with prior payments, in a form
approved by City. City may, at its option, also require a similar receipt and release of claims and
rights from each Subcontractor or supplier performing any Work, prior to making any payment
to Contractor. The subcontractors’ and suppliers’ receipts and releases shall be in a form
approved by City and shall indicate that (except for retainage) all debts for work performed or
materials supplied included on any previous payment application to City from Contractor have
been satisfied and that the Subcontractor or supplier waives and releases any and all claims or
rights in connection therewith.
G.Contractor shall not be entitled to final payment for the Work until Contractor
submits an application for final payment, all requirements of the Contract Documents are
complied with, and Project Manager issues his or her certificate to that effect. Within thirty (30)
days after the delivery of the Certificate of Acceptancecertificate, City shall pay Contractor all
remaining funds which Contractor is due under this Agreement.

H.Acceptance of final payment by Contractor shall release City from all further
obligations to Contractor, except as to such amounts, if any, Contractor has identified in its
application for final payment as claimed by Contractor. All claims not identified in the
application for final payment are waived. Any payment, however final or otherwise, shall not
release the Contractor or its sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or the
Performance and Payment Bonds.

basis, including but not limited to the following:

2.Defective Work,
3.Failure to make payments to subcontractors or suppliers,
4.Reasonable evidence that all Work cannot be completed for the unpaid
balance of the Contract Amount,
5.Damage by Contractor or subcontractors or suppliers to property of City
or others,

obligations to subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics, material men and furnishers of
machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the
performance of the Work have been paid, discharged or waived. If Contractor does not pay
subcontractors or suppliers for labor and/or material properly provided, City may, but shall not
be required to, pay subcontractors and suppliers directly. Any payments made to subcontractors
and suppliers shall be charged against the Contract Amount. City shall not be liable to Contractor
for any such payments made in goodfaith. This provision shall not confer any right upon any
Subcontractor or supplier to seek payment directly from City.
K.Notwithstanding any other provision for payment contained herein, in the event the
Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations has determined that a violation of Section
292.675 RSMo has occurred and that a penalty shall be assessed, the City shall withhold and
retain all sums and amounts due and owning when making payments to Contractor under this
Contract.

an order, in writing, Contractor shall proceed as and when directed in the order. Contractor shall
not proceed with any addition, deletion, or other change without a written order. No oral
10

or other change. If Contractor undertakes any addition, deletion, or other change without a
written order from City, Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the Contract Amount
or the time for performance of the Work, and Contractor shall be solely and completely

Price Contracts, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items
involved; or
2.If the Work involved is not covered by unit prices set forth in Contractor’s
Bid for Unit Price Contracts, by a lump sum as to which Contractor and City
mutually agree prior to the commencement of performance of the change.

Contractor’s performance, an equitable adjustment to the time for performance shall be made.

parties, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, and no claim
that City has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to the Work, whether or not
there is, in fact, any such enrichment, shall be the basis of any claim to an increase in any
amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in the time for performance of the
Work.
E.Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of all matters
relating to the change in the Work that is the subject of the Change Order, including but not
limited to all direct and indirect costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to
the Contract Amount and time for performance of the Work.
F.If Contractor is delayed or interfered with at any time in the commencement or
prosecution of the Work by an act or neglect of City, an employee, officer, or agent of City, or an
architect or engineer or separate contractor engaged by or on behalf of City, or by changes
ordered in the Work, an act of God, fire, or other cause over which Contractor has no control and
that Contractor could not reasonably anticipate, the time for performance of the Work shall be
equitably extended, provided that Contractor gives notice as provided for in Paragraph G below.
G.Any claim by Contractor for additional time or money for the performance of the
Work, including but not limited to any claim based on or arising out of an addition to, deletion
from, or other change to the Work and/or delay to or interference with commencement or
prosecution of any of the Work, shall be submitted to City’s designated representative within
11
five (5) working days of the beginning of the event for which the claim is made or on which it is
based. If any claim is not submitted within the five-day period, it shall be deemed waived.

increase or decrease in the amount of time and money for the performance of the Work, shall

if the default is not corrected to City’s satisfaction within seventy-two (72) hours of delivery of a
written notice to Contractor to correct such default, City may, in addition to any other right or
remedy City may have, terminate the services of the Contractor and take possession of the
project and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon
owned by the Contractor and finish the work by whatever method the City may deem expedient
to correct the default, at Contractor’s expense. In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled
to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If such costs exceed the unpaid
balance due to Contractor, the Contractor will pay the difference to the City.

equipment, and other items at the Project site, en route to the site, or in storage or being
manufactured or fabricated away from the site, as may be necessary to prosecute the Work taken

may be deducted by City from the amount, if any, otherwise due Contractor, and Contractor shall
pay City the full amount of any excess of such total over the amount otherwise due Contractor.
D.No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to City by the Contract Documents
is exclusive of any other right or remedy provided or permitted in the Contract Documents or by
law or equity, but each right or remedy is cumulative of every other right or remedy, and every
right or remedy may be enforced concurrently or from time to time. No exercise by City of any
right or remedy shall relieve Contractor from full and absolute responsibility for all of
Contractor’s obligations under the Contract Documents.

exercise any of City’s rights or remedies shall waive or excuse the default, and City shall remain
free to pursue all rights and remedies. No failure of City to insist, in any one or more instances,

more than ninety (90) days by the City or under an order of court or other public authority, or the

City fails to pay the Contractor substantially the sum approved by the Project Manager and
Administrator, then the Contractor may after ten (10) days from delivery of written notice to the
City terminate the Agreement and recover from the City payment for all work executed.

the terms of the Agreement, or on account of subsequently discovered evidence, nullify the
whole or part of any approved partial payment estimate to such extent as may be necessary to
protect the City from loss on account of (1) defective work not remedied, (2) claims filed or
reasonable evidence indicating probably filing of claims, (3) failure of Contractor to make
payments property to Subcontractors or for material or labor, (4) a reasonable doubt that the
Work can be completed for the balance then unpaid, (5) damages to another contractor, or (6)
performance of work in violation of the terms of the Contract Documents.

much of the Work as is actually performed as of the termination for convenience. City shall not
be obligated to Contractor for any further payment, including but not limited to prospective
