Payment for unit bid items and lump sum bid items only partially completed at the end of monthly pay periods shall be based on a percentage of work completed as determined by the Government. An example is the construction of pipelines where the unit bid price includes the excavation and backfill of the trenches, installation of pipe, trench compaction, flushing and testing, although the Contractor may have installed a certain footage of pipeline, yet has not completed the testing and/or restoration work.

The actual payment for that bid item will be reduced to reflect the actual amount of work completed.

Providing valve keys shall be incidental to the work. Provide, at a minimum, two valve keys for each type/size of valve nut.

Dewatering shall be incidental to the contract.

Payment for the final 20% of the total contract price will not be made until Bid Items 2 and 3 are complete.
