a.Partial Payment . Measurement of the item of Mobilization will be on a unit basis for each project or combination of projects included in a single contract. When more than one project is included in one contract, the amount of payment to be made will be based on the percent complete and amount of the entire contract, not the percent complete and amount of each individual project. Once the amount of payment is determined, based on the entir e contract, this amount will then be prepared for payment on each individual project based on the percentage of the total contract of which the project is a part. Partial Payments for mobilization are based on the amount bid for mobilization and the total original contract amount for all items of work. Payments will be made at the time, and in the amounts shown in the following schedules.
