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

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

reasonably necessary, and receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals

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

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 can of unit price wont, ENGINEER's
rwoummadadons of payment will include final dawrininations of quantities and classifications
of Contractor's work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract
