Page 3 of 8pages
(Exhibit A — Engineer's Services)
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 obtained during such visits and such observations, ENGINEER will determine if
Contractor's work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and ENGINEER
shall keep OWNER informed of the progress of the Work.
(Modified) The purpose of ENGINEER's visits to, and representation by the Resident Project
Representative, if any, at the Site, will be to enable ENGINEER to better carry out the duties and
responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by ENGINEER during the Construction Phase, and,
in addition, by the exercise of ENGINEER's efforts as an experienced and qualified design
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
of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents has
been 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
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 Work. Accordingly, ENGINEER neither guarantees the performance of any
Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its
work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

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 Drmvings 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.
10. Substitutes and "or- equal. " Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or- equal"
materials and equipment proposed by Contractor, but subject to the provisions of paragraph A2.01 of
this Exhibit A.
Page 4 of 8pages
(Exhibit A — Engineer's Services)
• 1 I. Inspections and Tests. Require such special inspections or tests of Contractor's work as deemed
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.
13. Applications for Payment. Based on ENGINEER's observations as an experienced and qualified
design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and accompanying supporting
documentation:
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 A 1.04.A.5.a are
expressly subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph A1.04.A.5.b and other express or
general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere.
b. By recommending any payment, ENGINEER shall not thereby be deemed to have represented
that observations made by ENGINEER 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 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.

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.
