<br />and the publishers of technical standards.

<br />work, nor shall Engineer have authority over or be responsible for the means, methods, techniques,
<br />sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any contractor, or the safety
<br />precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety at the Project site, nor for any
<br />failure of a contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to such contractor's
<br />furnishing and performing of its work.
<br />C. This Agreement is to be governed by the law of the state or jurisdiction in which the Project is
<br />located.
