with the progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to
determine, in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in
a manner indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in
accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the
Contract Documents or the agreement between CITY and ENGINEER
be construed as requiring ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections to discover latent defects in the work or otherwise
check the quality or quantity of the work on the PROJECT. If, for any
reason, the ENGINEER should make an on-site observation(s), on the
basis of such on-site observations, if any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor
to keep the CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents
coming to the actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the

entitled to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or
equipment and performance criteria to be required in the Contract
Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance
with Attachment A.

projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation
or maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market
-3-
conditions; time or qualify of performance by third parties; quality, type,
management, or direction of operating personnel; and other economic
and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT
cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty that the
CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or
schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses,
projections, or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction
progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling and
observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction contractor
has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract Documents; that
the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the ENGINEER has made
an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the construction contractor
has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the work, materials, or equipment
has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances; or that there are not other matters at issue between the CITY
and the construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.
H. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of
information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent
the exact location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the
PROJECT was finally constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for any
errors or omissions in the information from others that is incorporated into the
