the final one, will be the amount or quantity of work done since the last preceding estimate was
made. One copy of each estimate will be delivered to the Contractor by the Engineer.

may after the expiration of 45 calendar days from the date of acceptance, pay to the Contractor
such amounts of the estimated value of the work done and material furnished in accordance with
the terms of the contract including Extra Work under Clause 20 in excess of the amounts paid
under the preceding paragraph as the Owner deems proper.
Following the acceptance of the entire work by the Engineer, a final detailed statement shall be
made by the Engineer of the value of all the work done and material furnished under the contract
including work done or material furnished as Extra Work under Section 20 and within 5 months
after the date of acceptance of the entire work two copies thereof shall be delivered to the
Contractor. Within one month after such delivery to him, the Contractor shall present to the
Owner, one copy of such detailed statement, certified by him to be correct and also if not already
submitted, Contractor's and Sub-contractor's verification certificates and Workmen's
Compensation Board clearance certificates. Upon receipt by the Engineer of the verified
statement and certificates and date of receipt by the Owner of the certified detailed statement, an
amount equal to the amount of the said detailed statement, less all amounts previously paid to
the Contractor, provided that the Owner may retain any portion of such payment that he deems
necessary for its protection against Contractor, under this contract or otherwise.

reasonable provided the Contractor applies in writing for any extension of time, at the time such

corporation having the requisite authority (either statutory or otherwise) shall not relieve the
Contractor from any of his responsibilities or obligations nor shall the opening up of the portion
of the work for these or any other purposes or by any other parties relieve the Contractor of such
responsibilities or obligations except only for the portion of work actually torn up and destroyed
and then only in case the Contractor applies in writing for such relief, at the time such work is
being done, or within ten (10) days afterwards, and can furnish a sufficient cause in the Engineer's

Contractor to give reasonable notice to all persons who will be deprived of access to their
properties by reason of the work and, where practicable, to furnish alternate means of access.
