Article 50. FINAL INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION <br /> The Final Inspection and Certificate of Completion shall establish the completion date of the project. <br /> Article 51. SETTLEMENT <br /> The Principle Representative shall not authorize final payment until all items on the punch list have been completed,the <br /> Final Inspection and Certificate of Completion issued, and the Notice of Contractor's Settlement published. Before the <br /> Principal Representative may advertise, the Contractor shall deliver the Principle Representative all guaranties and <br /> warranties,and daily or weekly Job Logs. <br /> When the Principle Representative indicates acceptance of the work, the Contractor may requisition final payment, <br /> including retainage, on account of the contract price. <br /> Before such final payment may be made the Principle Representative must comply with Title 38-26-107 C.R.S. as <br /> amended,which requires that publication of a notice of final settlement with the Contractor be made twice in a newspaper <br /> of general circulation in the county wherein the Agreement was made(usually Denver County)and the county wherein the <br /> work was performed. The date fixed in such notice,before which final payment to the Contractor may not be made,must <br /> be no less than ten days after the second publication of the notice. <br /> Any unpaid creditor of the Contractor who supplied labor and/or material for the work has those ten days in which to file <br /> with the Principle Representative a verified statement of the amount due and unpaid. The Principle Representative must <br /> withhold from payment to the Contractor the total amount of such claim for a period of ninety days after the date in the <br /> notice fixed for settlement, but the Principle Representative may not directly make payment to the creditor(s). If within <br /> those ninety days a creditor does not reach settlement with the Contractor,he must file with the Principle Representative a <br /> notice that he has brought action at law,otherwise the Principle Representative,at expiration of ninety days,will pay the <br /> Contractor for the amount withheld. <br /> Article 52. GUARANTY AND WARRANTIES <br /> The Contractor shall furnish the Principle Representative with a written guaranty for one year covering all labor,materials <br /> and workmanship incorporated in the work. The Contractor, in instances of work performed or material or equipment <br /> furnished for which warranties are required by the specifications,shall procure such warranties and deliver them to the <br /> Principle Representative on completion of the work. Such warranties will no way lessen the Contractor's responsibilities <br /> under the Agreement. Whenever warranties or guarantees are required by the specifications for a period longer than one <br /> year,such longer period shall govem. Written guaranties must be received by the Principle Representative before final <br /> payment will be approved. <br /> Article 53. ASSIGNMENT <br /> The Contractor shall not assign the whole or any part of this Contract as any moneys due or to become due hereunder <br /> without the written consent of the Principal Representative. No assignment without said prior approval shall be valid. In <br /> case the Contractor assigns all or part of any moneys due or to become due under this Contract, the instrument of <br /> assignment shall contain a clause substantially to the effect that it is agreed that the right of the assignee in and to any <br /> moneys due or to become due to the Contractor shall be subject to all claims of all persons,firms,and corporations for <br /> services rendered or materials supplied for the performance of the work called for in this Contract,whether said service or <br /> material were supplied prior to,or after the assignment. <br /> Article 54. LIENS <br /> There is no right of Mechanic's Lien against publicly-owned property in the State of Colorado. However,as outlined in <br /> Article 51 SETTLEMENT, unpaid labor and/or materials suppliers for the work are by law provided certain alternate <br /> remedies. <br /> Article 55. POST-COMPLETION INSPECTIONS <br /> Final payment made to the Contractor on account of the work shall not operate to relieve the Contractor of responsibility for <br /> faulty material or workmanship,and unless otherwise provided the Contractor shall remedy any defect due thereto and pay <br /> for any damages resultant therefrom which shall appear within one year from the date of final acceptance of the work, <br /> which date will be that of the Final Inspection and Certificate of Completion. <br /> If the Contractor fails promptly to correct the punch list items resulting from such inspections,the Principle Representative <br /> may correct such defects and deficiencies and backcharge the Contractor for the cost thereof. <br /> Article 56. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER ACCEPTANCE <br /> The Certificate of Completion,final payment,nor any provision in the Contract Documents shall relieve the Contractor of <br /> responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship,and,unless otherwise specified,he shall remedy any defects due thereto <br /> and pay for any damage to other work resulting therefrom,which shall appear within a period of one year from the date of <br /> Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology GENERAL BID SPECIFICATIONS <br /> June 1,2002 Page 13 <br />
