In addition to the above retainage, the department will retain 5% of the value of the work completed, and 5% of the value of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored, until 50% completion. At 50% completion, no additional amounts will be retained unless the engineer certifies that the work is not proceeding satisfactorily, but amounts previously retained will not be paid to the contractor until final acceptance of the work by the department. When the contractor substantially completes the work under the contract or upon completion and acceptance of the work, and pending final payment, the engineer may choose to reduce the amount retained.
