investigation, has reasonable objection to any Subcontractor, person or organization on such

the OWNER or ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due any

Subcontractor or other person or organization, except as may otherwise be required by law.

OWNER or ENGINEER may furnish to any Subcontractor or other person or organization, to

the extent practicable, evidence amounts paid to the CONTRACTOR on account of specific

and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of the OWNER.
