Contractor that no person, firm or corporation has filed a lien against the project.

Owner in respect of any lien in favor of any person claiming by, through, or under it, including, among others, its subcontractors or its and their material suppliers may appear after final payment is made.

5.7 Once the Contractor's Application for Payment has been certified by the Owner following approval by the Engineer, the Owner shall authorize payment to the Contractor at the next scheduled public meeting and issue payment during the Owner's next payment cycle following the meeting at which payment was authorized.

5.8 The Owner shall withhold two percent (2%) of the amount due on each partial payment pending completion of the Contract, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:11-16.3. No additional or special retainage shall be withheld for stored materials, asphalt materials, testing, incomplete work, or any individual category of Work, except to the extent a separate withholding is expressly authorized by applicable law.

Upon application by the Contractor, the Owner shall release a subcontractor’s proportionate share of retainage following acceptance by the Engineer of that subcontractor’s completed portion of the

Work, as required by N.J.S.A. 40A:11-16.3.
