Approval of Payment 14.4 CONSULTANT's approval of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by him to OWNER, based on CONSULTANT's on site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced professional and on his review of the Application for Payment and supporting data, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated in the Application for Payment; that, to the best his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning Project upon substantial completion as defined in Article I, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications stated in his approval); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount approved. However, the approval of such payment does not mean and may not imply that CONSULTANT made exhaustive or continuous on -site observations to check the quality or the quantity of the Work, or that he has reviewed the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction or that he has made any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be paid to him, or that title to any Work, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens. 14.5 CONTRACTOR will not be entitled to be paid unless: (a) the labor and materials listed on a payment application have been used in the construction of this Work or, as to materials included in the request for payment that have not yet been incorporated into the construction, such materials are on the site or stored at an approved location, and (b) payment received from the last payment application has been used to fully pay for all the laborers, subcontractors and materials reflected in that request, other than amounts that are in dispute and that are listed in the payment application with reasonable clarity as to the reason for withholding payment with the name, addresses and telephone number of the person whose request is being withheld.

Nothing contained herein will indicate an intent to benefit any third persons who are not signatories to the Contract. 14.6 CONSULTANT may refuse to approve the whole or any part of any payment if, in its opinion, it is unable to make such representations to OWNER as required this Section 14.

Such use will not constitute an acceptance of such portions of the Work. 14.8 The City Manager has the right to enter the premises where the Work is being performed for the purpose of doing Work not covered by the Contract Documents. This provision may not be construed as relieving CONTRACTOR of the sole responsibility for the care and protection of the Work, or the restoration of any damaged Work except such as may be caused by agents or employees of OWNER. 14.9 Upon completion and acceptance of the Work CONSULTANT will issue a Certificate attached to the Final Application for Payment that the Work has been accepted by it under the conditions of the Contract Documents.
