ORIGINAL
Article IV
Obligations of the Engineer
Amendments to Article IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
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 standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the degree of
skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by professional
engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services at the time such
services are performed.
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 CITY
concerning the results of same. Such surveys, tests, and investigations
shall be furnished by the CITY, unless otherwise specified in Attachment A.
(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations, the
actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive test points
and sample intervals and at locations other than where observations,
exploration, and investigations have been made. Because of the inherent
uncertainties in subsurface evaluations, changed or unanticipated
underground conditions may occur that could affect the total PROJECT
cost and/or execution. These 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 plastic film sheets, or as otherwise approved by CITY, which shall
become the property of the CITY. CITY may use such drawings in any manner it
desires; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall not be liable for the use of
such drawings for any 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 or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that
belong to the 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 methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety
precautions required by such construction work. The ENGINEER and its
personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or
any health or safety precautions.
(2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in
Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
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 any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor to keep the
CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents coming to
the actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the
services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled
to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment
and performance criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance with
Attachment A.
(2) In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility
projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation or
maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions;
time or qualify of performance by third parties; quality, type, management,
-3-
' _ 4
or direction of operating personnel; and other economic and operational
factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT cost or schedule.
Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty that the CITY's actual
PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will
not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections, or
estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
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
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
the construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.
H. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information
compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent the exact
location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the PROJECT was
finally constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for any errors or omissions
in the information from others that is incorporated into the record drawings.
I. Minority and Woman Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation
