Project Number: 30029091 AMENDMENT No. 1 SB WWTP Final Clarifier 123 Construction_Amendment No. 1.docx 5. Schedules. Receive, review, and determine the acceptability of schedules that Contractor is required to submit to Engineer, including the Progress Schedule, Schedule of Submittals, and Schedule of Values. 6. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. In connection with observations of Contractor’s Work while it is in progress: • Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction, as Engineer deems necessary, to observe as an experienced and qualified design professional the progress of Contractor’s executed Work. Such visits and observations by Engineer are not intended to be exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in progress or to involve detailed inspections of Contractor’s Work in progress beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in this Agreement and the Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking, selective sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work based on Engineer’s exercise of professional judgment, as assisted by the Owner’s Resident Project Representative. Based on information obtained during such visits and observations, Engineer will determine in general if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and Engineer shall keep owner informed of the progress of the Work. Engineer will visit the Site on the same day of each construction progress meeting. The scope of these engineering services is based on up to 12 months of progress meetings. • The purpose of Engineer’s visits to the Site will be to enable Engineer to better carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by Engineer during the Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of Engineer’s efforts as an experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for Owner a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will conform in general to the Contract Documents and that Contractor has implemented and maintained the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents. Engineer shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor’s Work in progress, supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor’s Work, nor shall Engineer have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by Contractor, for security or safety at the Site, for safety precautions and programs incident to Contractor’s Work, nor for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s furnishing and performing the Work. Accordingly, Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor’s failure to furnish or perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 7. Defective Work. Reject Work if, on the basis of Engineer’s observations, Engineer believes that such Work (a) is defective under the standards set forth in the Contract Documents, (b) will not produce a completed Project that conforms to the Contract Documents, or (c) will imperil the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. 8. Clarifications and Interpretations; Field Orders. Issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of Contractor’s work. Such clarifications and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents. Subject to any limitations in the Contract Documents, Engineer may issue field orders authorizing minor variations in the Work from the requirements of the Contract Documents. Coordinate a tracking log for clarifications and interpretations as part of the electronic data information system developed by Engineer. 9. Change Orders and Work Change Directives. Recommend change orders and work change directives to Owner, as appropriate, and prepare change orders and work change directives as required. 10. Shop Drawings and Samples. Review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents and compatibility with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto. Engineer shall meet any Contractor’s submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted. Coordinate a tracking log for submittals as part of the electronic data information system developed by Engineer. 11. Substitutes and “or-equal” Requests. Review the Contractor’s requests for product substitutions and “or equal”; Engineer will separately track the time and expense required for such reviews and invoice the Client for such reviews as Additional Services. 12. Inspections and Tests. The Owner’s Resident Project Representative will require such special inspections or tests of Contractor’s work as deemed reasonably necessary, and receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required by Laws and Regulations or the Contract Documents. Any review by Engineer of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents and
