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

feasibility, or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions,

progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on 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

claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there are no other matters
at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that affect the
