Schedules: DELETED <br />Baselines and Benchmarks: As appropriate, establish baselines and benchmarks for <br />locating the Work which in Engineer's judgment are necessary to enable Contractor to <br />proceed. <br />7. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction: In connection with observations of <br />Contractor's Work while it is in progress: <br />a. Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction, as <br />Engineer Owner deems necessary, to observe as an experienced and qualified design <br />professional the progress of Contractor's executed Work. Such visits and observations <br />by Engineer, and the Resident Project Representative, if any, are not intended to be <br />exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of Contractor's Work in progress or to involve <br />detailed inspections of Contractor's Work in progress beyond the responsibilities <br />specifically assigned to Engineer in this Agreement and the Contract Documents, but <br />rather are to be limited to spot checking, selective sampling, and similar methods of <br />general observation of the Work based on Engineer's exercise of professional judgment, <br />as assisted by the Resident Project Representative, if any. Based on information <br />obtained during such visits and observations, Engineer will determine in general if the <br />Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and Engineer shall <br />keep Owner informed of the progress of the Work. <br />b. The purpose of Engineer's visits to, and representation by the Resident Project <br />Representative, if any, at the Site, will be to enable Engineer to better carry out the <br />duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by Engineer during the <br />Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of Engineer's efforts as an <br />experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for Owner a greater degree of <br />confidence that the completed Work will conform in general to the Contract Documents <br />and that Contractor has implemented and maintained the integrity of the design concept <br />of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents. <br />Engineer shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's <br />Work in progress, supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor's Work, nor shall <br />Engineer have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, <br />sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by Contractor, for security or <br />safety at the Site, for safety precautions and programs incident to Contractor's Work, <br />nor for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to <br />Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. Accordingly, Engineer neither <br />guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any <br />Contractor's failure to furnish or perform the Work in accordance with the Contract <br />Documents. <br />Page 5 <br />(Exhibit A — Engineer's Services) <br />EJCDC E-500 Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services <br />Copyright 0 2008 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.
