No such statement or invoice shall be paid by the awarding public agency without such certification. The execution of a certificate, as herein provided, shall not constitute a defense or in any other manner affect any cause or causes of action which the awarding public agency might otherwise have against the contractor for nonperformance of a public construction contract.
