A. Preparation of Invoices. Invoices will be prepared
in accordance with OWNER's standard processing practices
and will be submitted to OWNER monthly by ENGINEER,

amount equal to the debt from any payments owed to the
ENGINEER under this Agreement, and the ENGINEER
waives any recourse therefor.
ARTICLE 5 - OPINIONS OF COST

A. ENGINEER's opinions of probable Construction
Cost provided for herein are to be made on the basis of
ENGINEER's experience and qualifications and represent
ENGINEER's best judgment as an experienced and qualified
professional generally familiar with the industry. However,
since ENGINEER has no control over the cost of labor,
materials, equipment, or services furnished by others, or over
the Contractor's methods of determining prices, or over
competitive bidding or market conditions, ENGINEER cannot
and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual
Construction Cost will not vary from opinions of probable
Construction Cost prepared by ENGINEER. If OWNER
wishes greater assurance as to probable Conduction Cost,
OWNER shall employ an independent cost estimator as
provided in Exhibit B.

requested notice or certification, and OWNER shall authorize
such Additional Services as are necessary to enable

guarantee or warrant the existence of such conditions.
1. During the Construction Phase, ENGINEER shall

construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and
programs incident to the Contractor's work in progress, nor
for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and
Regulations applicable to Contractor's furnishing and
performing the Work.
J. (Modified) ENGINEER neither guarantees the
performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for
any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform the Work in

ENGINEER knew or should have known existed in the
exercise of ENGINEER's services under this Agreement.
K. (Modified) ENGINEER shall not be responsible for
the acts or omissions of any Contractor(s), subcontractor or

work; or for any decision made on interpretations or

D. Because data stored in electronic media format can
deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without
authorization of the data's creator, the party receiving
electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or
procedures within sixty (60) days, after which the receiving
party shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus
transferred. The party delivering the electronic files will
correct any errors detected within the sixty (60) day
acceptance period. ENGINEER shall not be responsible to
maintain documents stored in electronic media format after
acceptance by OWNER.

F. (Modified) Any use of the Documents on any
extension of the Project or on any other project shall be at
OWNER's sole risk and OWNER hereby releases
ENGINEER from any liability associated solely with the reuse
of the Documents.
G. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic flies
and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.
H. Any verification or adaptation of the Documents for

shall require ENGINEER's Consultants to obtain such
additional insurance coverage, different limits, or revised
deductibles for such periods of time as requested by OWNER,
and Exhibit G will be supplemented to incorporate these
requirements.

thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, provided,
however, that if and to the extent such substantial
failure cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty

is mandated or restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to
the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no
assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any
duty or responsibility under this Agreement.
C. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this
Agreement:
1. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
create, impose, or give rise to any duty owed by OWNER
or ENGINEER to any Contractor, Contractor's
subcontractor, supplier, other individual or entity, or to
any surety for or employee of any of them.
2. All duties and responsibilities undertaken
pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole and
