the contract according to the contract's provisions and in accordance with the specifications
for the improvement. The township fiscal officer shall not draw a warrant in favor of any contractor for

that all indebtedness of the contractor on account of material incorporated into the
work or delivered on the site of the improvement and labor performed has been paid,
is filed with the fiscal officer. In lieu of the affidavit, the contractor may file the written consent of all persons
who have furnished material, incorporated into the work or delivered on the site of
the improvement, or performed labor on the improvement, that any estimate then due
may be paid. The consent shall be accompanied by the affidavit of the contractor, or an officer

paid in full for the labor or material. This section does not prevent the payment out of any estimate that is due, upon
