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
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

deviation from the Contract Documents coming to the actual notice of
ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of

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 matters at issue between the CITY and
