(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations,
the actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive

conditions and cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the
ENGINEER.
D. Preparation of Engineering Drawings
The ENGINEER will provide to the CITY the original drawings of all plans in
ink on reproducible mylar sheets and electronic files in .pdf format, or as

project other than the PROJECT described herein.
E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the

their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all

responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar 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
City of Fort Worth,Texas

Page 3 of 16
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 the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the

economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's
opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.

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
