In order to achieve this schedule the contractor has agreed to accelerate completion of the essential parts of the building so that there will be a minimum of conflicts with beneficial occupancy. The contract documents require the City to retain 10% of the contract amount until final occupancy and authorization of final payment by the City Commission. To implement the moves important to the Police Department and because final acceptance of the building could be many months after the City takes beneficial occupancy, it is requested that the Director of Public Works be given authority to reduce the 10% retainage at his discretion. The Director of Public Works will be responsible to insure that the City is fully protected and no payments will be made to the contractor to jeopardize the ultimate and total completion of the building.
