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

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 the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.

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