Exception.
A. All statements or invoices submitted to the awarding public
agency for work performed shall contain a certification by the
supervising architect or engineer, or other supervisory official if
no supervisory architect or engineer is employed for the project,
that work for which payment is claimed has been performed and that
such work conforms to the plans and specifications for the project.
No such statement or invoice shall be paid by the awarding public
agency without such certification. The execution of a certificate,
as herein provided, shall not constitute a defense or in any other
manner affect any cause or causes of action which the awarding
public agency might otherwise have against the contractor for
nonperformance of a public construction contract.
B. If project progressive payments are based on the public
agency’s estimated quantities of materials provided and work
performed, certifications are not required. Payment of progressive
estimates shall not constitute a defense or in any manner affect any
cause or causes of action which the awarding public agency might
have against the contractor for failure to properly perform in
accordance with the project contract, plans, specifications, or
special provisions. Final estimates shall contain a sworn
certification signed by the contractor that the work performed and
the material provided conform to the requirements of the contract,
plans, specifications, and special provisions.
