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

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. CONSULTANT has an obligation to meet any Contractor's submittal schedule that has
earlier been acceptable to CONSULTANT.
10. Substitutes and "orr- 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 Contra actor. Render formal written decisions on all
claims of OWNER and Contractor relating to the acceptability of Contractor's work or time

progress of Contractor's work. In rendering such decisions, CONSULTANT shall be fair and not
show partiality to OWNER or Contractor.
13. CONSULTANT will prepare schedule updates and activity reports that will be submitted with
monthly invoices.
14. Applications for Payment. Based on CONSULTANT'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 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 A1.04.A.5.a are expressly subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph A1.04.A.S.b
and other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere.

represented that observations made by CONSULTANT to check the quality or quantity of
Page 6 of 10 Pages
(EXHIBIT A - Scope of Work)
Contractor's work as it is perfornted and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every
aspect of Contractor's work in progress, pr 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 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
