appropriate to verify Contractor's payment requests, and as CONSULTANT and/or OWNER

progress and quality of the Work. Such visits and observations by CONSULTANT, and the
Resident Project 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 CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT's exercise of
professional judgment as assisted by the Resident Project Representative, if any. Based on
information obtained during such visits and such observations,CONSULTANT will determine if
Contractor's work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and
CONSULTANT shall keep OWNER informed of the progress of the Work.
b. (Modified) The purpose of CONSULTANT's visits to, and representation by the Resident
Project Representative, if any, at the Site, will be to enable CONSULTANT to better carry out
the duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by CONSULTANT during the
Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of CONSULTANT'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.
CONSULTANT 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
CONSULTANT 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

responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.

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

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.
CONSULTANT shall log and track all of contractor's submittals and expedite reviews as may be
required by OWNER. 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. CONSULTANT has an obligation to meet any Contractor's submittal schedule that has
earlier been acceptable to CONSULTANT.
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.
11. 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. CONSULTANT'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. CONSULTANT 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, CONSULTANT shall be fair and not show
partiality to OWNER or Contractor.

design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and accompanying supporting
documentation:
a. Determine the amounts that CONSULTANT recommends Contractor be paid. Such
recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute CONSULTANT's
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 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 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 A 1.03.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
Page 5 of 7 pages
(Exhibit A—Architect's Services)
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 CONSULTANT 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. Other Services. Together with OWNER, visit the Project to observe any apparent defects in the
Work, assist OWNER in consultations and discussions with Contractor concerning correction of any
such defects, and make recommendations as to replacement or correction of Defective Work, if
present.

intended use, in company with OWNER and Contractor,conduct an inspection to determine if the Work is
finally complete. CONSULTANT shall prepare punch-lists as necessary for the Work to achieve final
completion.
17. (Modified) Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. Conduct a final inspection to determine if the
completed Work of Contractor is acceptable so that CONSULTANT may recommend, in writing, final
payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, CONSULTANT shall
also provide a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E(the"Notice of Acceptability of Work")that
to the best of CONSULTANT's knowledge, information and belief and upon the exercise of
CONSULTANT'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
