representation to OWNER, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of
CONSULTANT'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 fimctioning 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 CONSULTANT's responsibility to observe Contractor's work. In the case of unit price
work, CONSULTANT'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 CONSULTANT contained in
paragraph A1.04.A.5.a are expressly subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph A 1.04.A.5.b
and other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere.
b. By recommending any payment, CONSULTANT shall not thereby be deemed to have
represented that observations made by CONSULTANT to check the quality or quantity of
Contractor's work as it is performed and furnished 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 CONSULTANT in this Agreement and the Contract
Documents. Neither CONSULTANT's review of Contractor's work for the purposes of
recommending payments nor CONSULTANT's recommendation of any payment including final
payment will impose on CONSULTANT 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
