The basis for payment to the Contractor will be the actual amount of <br />Work performed according to the Contract Documents and payments, whether partial or final, shall be <br />made as specified therein. Although the City will pay the Contractor for all Work completed in <br />accordance with the Contract, this Contract guarantees no specific amount of Work, as the amount of <br />Work under this Contract is dependent on the City issuance of work orders, which is at the City’s sole <br />discretion.

The City may withhold the amount until either the Contractor secures a written release <br />from the claimant, obtains a court decision that such claim is without m erit, or satisfies any judgment <br />in favor of the claimant on such claim.
