MUNICIPALITY <br />shall award the contract to the selected contractor only after consulting with and obtaining <br />the written approval of PURVEYOR, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. <br />Any disapproval, and the reasons therefore, shall be provided in writing to MUNICIPALITY. <br />B. Payments to Contractor(s). MUNICIPALITY shall be responsible for making all payments <br />to its contractor(s). Throughout each Capital Improvement, MUNICIPALITY shall provide <br />on-going documentation to PURVEYOR related to the work performed by the <br />contractor(s), including but not limited to contractors' requests for payment, and <br />payments made to contractor(s). Except as otherwise stated in these Terms and <br />Conditions, MUNICIPALITY need not obtain approval of PURVEYOR prior to making <br />payments to MUNICIPALITY's contractor(s); however, PURVEYOR shall inform <br />MUNICIPALITY of any problems PURVEYOR identifies within the documentation provided, <br />and MUNICIPALITY shall cooperate with PURVEYOR in resolving such problems. <br />1.

Any revision to Table 1 will in <br />no way interfere with PURVEYOR'S obligation to maintain the distribution mains and the <br />water works system. Allowable water work bid items may include reasonable contingency <br />(10% or less). When bidding in conjunction with a road capital improvement, <br />MUNICIPALITY shall ensure that the water work is expressly separated from other types <br />of work in the bid documents and on the bid sheets. <br />
