acceptance of the work or any part of it, or as a waiver of any provi-
sions of the contract.

consent of the Surety, a semi-final estimate may be made when the prin-
cipal items of work have been substantially completed. Payment to the

repair any damage caused by him subsequent to such approval and prior to
final acceptance of the entire section.
'ienever the improvement provided for by the contract shall have been
completely performed on the part of the Contractor, and all parts of the
work have been approved by the Engineer and accepted by the Department,
a final estimate showing the value of the work will be prepared by the
Engineer as soon as the necessary measurements and computation can be
made, all prior estimates upon which payments have been made being
approximate only and subject to correction in the final payment. The
amount of this estimate, less any partial or semi-final payments pre-
viously made and less any stars that have been deducted or retained under
the provisions of the contract, will be paid to the Contractor as soon
as practicatle after the final acceptance, provided the Contractor
has furnished to the Department satisfactory evidence that all sirs of
money due for any labor, materials, apparatus, fixtures or machinery
furnished for the purpose of such improvements have been paid or that
18 GP
the person or persons to whom the same may be due have consented to
such final payment.
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall constitute
-a release and waiver of any and all rights and privileges under the
terms of the contract; f rtber, the acceptance by the Contractor of
final payment shall relieve the Department from any and all claims or
liabilities for anything done or furnished relative to the work or for
•

nected with the work.
