Engineer may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer’sopinion, it would be incorrect to make the representations to Owner stated inParagraph 14.02.B.2. Engineer may also refuse to recommend any such payment or, becauseof subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, reviseor revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent as may benecessary in Engineer’s opinion to protect Owner from loss because:a. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring correction orreplacement;b. the Contract Price has been reduced by Change Orders;c.

Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so withheld, or anyadjustment thereto agreed to by Owner and Contractor, when Contractor remedies thereasons for such action.3. Upon a subsequent determination that Owner’s refusal of payment was not justified, theamount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by Paragraph14.02.C.1 and subject to interest as provided in the Agreement.14.03 Contractor’s Warranty of TitleA. Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered byany Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to Owner nolater than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.14.04 Substantial CompletionA.

If, after considering such objections, Engineer concludes that the Work is not substantiallycomplete, Engineer will, within 14 days after submission of the tentative certificate to Owner,notify Contractor in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of Owner’sobjections, Engineer considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer will, within said 14days, execute and deliver to Owner and Contractor a definitive certificate of SubstantialCompletion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting suchchanges from the tentative certificate as Engineer believes justified after consideration of anyobjections from Owner.D. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer willdeliver to Owner and Contractor a written recommendation as to division of responsibilitiesEJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction ContractCopyright © 2007 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.
