C. The Contractor shall be obligated to pay, satisfy and discharge any claims for theft, disappearance, destruction of or damage to personal property made by the owners of buildings where work is being performed by the Contractor, and/or by the owners/occupants of apartments where work is being performed by the Contractor, to the extent such claims are not otherwise covered in full by the proceeds of insurance maintained by ths Contractor with respect to the performance of work hereunder.

As security for the faithful performance by the Contractor of the foregoing obligation, DEP is hereby authorized, in addition to the ten percent (10%) retainage referred to in Paragraph B above, to deduct and retain a further five percent (5%) of the value of all work certified for payment in each partial payment voucher. The additional 5% retainage shall continue to be made up to an aggregate total of $75,000. All monies deducted and retained by DEP pursuant to this Paragraph C may be applied by DEP, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay, satisfy and discharge any such claims deemed verified by DEP, if such claims are not otherwise paid, satisfied or discharged by the Contractor within 30 days after demand by DEP. If at any time, because of payments made by DEP out of such monies for such purpose, a total of less than $75,000 is available to pay, satisfy or discharge such claims, DEP is hereby authorized to resume deducting and retaining a further five percent (5%) of the value of all work certified for payment in each partial payment voucher, the intent being that a fund of $75,000 shall always be available to DEP as security for the faithful performance by the Contractor of the obligation under this paragraph.

DEP is authorized to continue using any monies deducted and retained pursuant to this Paragraph C to pay, satisfy and discharge such claims for a period of three (3) months after completion of all work hereunder. Upon the expiration of three (3) months after completion of all work assigned under this Contract, DEP shall refund any remaining portion of the monies deducted and retained pursuant to this Paragraph C to the Contractor.
