Work has progressed to the point indicated; that to the best of the
ARCHITECT's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the

Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and to any
specific qualifications stated in the Certificate of Payment) ; and
that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
