Obligations of the Engineer
A. General
The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering
representative under this Agreement, providing professional engineering
consultation and advice and furnishing customary services incidental thereto.
B. Standard of Care
The ENGINEER shall perform its services:
(1) with the professional skill and care ordinarily provided by competent
engineers practicing under the same or similar circumstances and
professional license; and
(2) as expeditiously as is prudent considering the ordinary professional
skill and care of a competent engineer.
C. Subsurface Investigations
(1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for
subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other
subsurface investigations in connection with design and engineering
work to be performed hereunder. The ENGINEER shall also advise the

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 ENGINEER

CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other entities, and do not
relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of their obligations,
duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction

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 this
AGREEMENT between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring

on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on -site observation(s) of a
deviation from the contract documents, the ENGINEER shall inform the CITY.

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

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

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 no other matters
at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that affect the
amount that should be paid.
