Representative, if any, are not intended to be exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of
Contractor's work in progress or to involve detailed inspections of Contractor's work in progress
beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the
Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking, selective sampling, and similar
methods of general observation of the Work based on ENGINEER's exercise of professional
judgment as assisted by the Resident Project Representative, if any. Based on information

professional, to provide for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work
will substantially conform to the Contract Documents and that the integrity of the design concept

implemented and preserved by Contractor. ENGINEER shall not, during such visits or as a
result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct, or have control
Page 4 of 7 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
EXHIBIT A
over Contractor's work, nor shall ENGINEER have authority over or responsibility for the
means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for
safety precautions and programs incident to Contractor's work, or for any failure of Contractor to
comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the

rejected while it is in progress if, on the basis of such observations, ENGINEER believes that such
work will not produce a completed Project that substantially conforms to the Contract Documents or
that it will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning
whole as indicated in the Contract Documents.
7. Clarifications and Interpretations; Field Orders. Issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of
the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of Contractor's work. Such
clarifications and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the
Contract Documents. ENGINEER may issue Field Orders authorizing minor variations from the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
8. Change Orders and Work Change Directives. Recommend Change Orders and Work Change
Directives to OWNER, as appropriate, and prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives as
required.
9. Shop Drawings and Samples. Review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to Shop
Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for
conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents and compatibility with the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents.
Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences
or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto. ENGINEER
has an obligation to meet any Contractor's submittal schedule that has earlier been acceptable to
ENGINEER.

reasonably necessary, and receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals
required by Laws and Regulations or the Contract Documents. ENGINEER's review of such
certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with
the Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or
procedures of such inspections, tests, or approvals comply with the requirements of the Contract
Documents. ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely on the results of such tests.
12. (Modified) Disagreements between OWNER and Contractor. Render formal written decisions on all
claims of OWNER and Contractor relating to the acceptability of Contractor's work or the
interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution and progress
of Contractor's work. In rendering such decisions, ENGINEER shall be fair and not show partiality
to OWNER or Contractor.

design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and accompanying supporting
documentation:
Page 5 of 7 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
EXHIBIT A
a. Determine the amounts that ENGINEER recommends Contractor be paid. Such
recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute ENGINEER's representation
to OWNER, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of ENGINEER's
knowledge, information and belief, Contractor's work has progressed to the point indicated, the
quality of such work is substantially in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an
evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and to any other
qualifications stated in the recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being
entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is ENGINEER's
responsibility to observe Contractor's work. In the case of unit price work, ENGINEER's
recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of
Contractor's work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents).
The responsibilities of ENGINEER contained in paragraph A1.04.A.5.a are expressly subject to
the limitations set forth in paragraph AI.04.A.5.b and other express or general limitations in this
Agreement and elsewhere.

that observations made by ENGINEER to check the quality or quantity of Contractor's work as it
is performed and famished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of Contractor's work
in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically
assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract Documents. Neither ENGINEER's
review of Contractor's work for the purposes of recommending payments nor ENGINEER's
recommendation of any payment including final payment will impose on ENGINEER
responsibility to supervise, direct, or control Contractor's work in progress or for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs
incident thereto, or Contractor's compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable to
Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. It will also not impose responsibility on
ENGINEER to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used
the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to any portion of the
work in progress, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens,
claims, security interests, or encumbrances, or that there may not be other matters at issue
between OWNER and Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid.
14. Contractor's Completion Documents.

prepared by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents. ENGINEER will compile
this information as provided by Contractor, and deliver three (3) copies of the same to OWNER.

required by the Contract Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, Shop Drawings,
Samples and other data approved as provided under paragraph A1.04.A.9, and the annotated record
documents which are to be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents to
obtain final payment. The extent of such ENGINEER's review will be limited as provided in
paragraph A 1.04.A.9.
c. ENGINEER shall transmit these documents to OWNER within thirty (30) days of receipt of
documents from Contractor.
d. (Added) Preparing and furnishing to OWNER Record Drawings electronically in a format approved
by the OWNER and on mylar showing appropriate record information based on Project annotated
record documents received from Contractor.

the Work is Substantially Complete. If after considering any objections of OWNER, ENGINEER
Page 6 of 7 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
EXHIBIT A
considers the Work Substantially Complete, ENGINEER shall deliver a certificate of Substantial
Completion to OWNER and Contractor.
16. (Modified) Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. Conduct a final inspection to determine if the
completed Work of Contractor is acceptable so that ENGINEER may recommend, in writing, final
payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, ENGINEER shall also
provide a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Notice of Acceptability of Work") that to
the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief and upon the exercise of ENGINEER'S due
diligence, the Work is acceptable and is in compliance with the Contract Documents.

Construction Agreement for the Project or any part thereof and will terminate upon final payment to
Contractors. If the Project involves more than one prime contract as indicated in paragraph A1.02.C,
