<br />AMENDMENT No. 2
<br />119-069 WWTP Secondary and Disinfection Improvements Amendment No. 2
<br />10. General Administration of Construction Contract. Consult with Owner and act as Owner’s representative as provided
<br />in the Construction Contract. The extent and limitations of the duties, responsibilities, and authority of Engineer as
<br />assigned in the Construction Contract shall not be modified, except as Engineer may otherwise agree in writing. All of
<br />Owner’s instructions to Contractor will be issued through Engineer, which shall have authority to act on behalf of Owner in
<br />dealings with Contractor to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Construction Contract except as otherwise
<br />provided in writing.
<br />11. Pre-Construction Conference. Participate in a Pre-Construction Conference prior to commencement of Work at the Site.
<br />The conference will be attended by Engineer.
<br />12. Schedules. Receive, review, and determine the acceptability of schedules that Contractor is required to submit to
<br />Engineer, including the Progress Schedule, Schedule of Submittals, and Schedule of Values.
<br />13. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. In connection with observations of Contractor’s Work while it is in
<br />progress:
<br />• Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction, as Engineer deems necessary, to
<br />observe as an experienced and qualified design professional the progress of Contractor’s executed Work. Such visits
<br />and observations by Engineer are not intended to be exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in
<br />progress or to involve detailed inspections of Contractor’s Work in progress beyond the responsibilities specifically
<br />assigned to Engineer in this Agreement and the Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking,
<br />selective sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work based on Engineer’s exercise of
<br />professional judgment, as assisted by the Owner’s Resident Project Representative. Based on information obtained
<br />during such visits and observations, Engineer will determine in general if the Work is proceeding in accordance with
<br />the Contract Documents, and Engineer shall keep Owner informed of the progress of the Work. Engineer will visit the
<br />Site on the same day of each construction progress meeting. The scope of these engineering services is based on up
<br />to 10 months of construction progress meetings.
<br />• The purpose of Engineer’s visits to the Site will be to enable Engineer to better carry out the duties and responsibilities
<br />assigned to and undertaken by Engineer during the Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of
<br />Engineer’s efforts as an 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 and that Contractor has
<br />implemented and maintained the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as
<br />indicated in the Contract Documents. Engineer shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of
<br />Contractor’s Work in progress, supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor’s Work, nor shall Engineer have
<br />authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected
<br />or used by Contractor, for security or safety at the Site, for safety precautions and programs incident to Contractor’s
<br />Work, nor for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s furnishing and
<br />performing the Work. Accordingly, Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes
<br />responsibility for any Contractor’s failure to furnish or perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
<br />14. Defective Work. Reject Work if, on the basis of Engineer’s observations, Engineer believes that such Work (a) is
<br />defective under the standards set forth in the Contract Documents, (b) will not produce a completed Project that conforms
<br />to the Contract Documents, or (c) will imperil the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning
<br />whole as indicated by the Contract Documents.
<br />15. Clarifications and Interpretations; Field Orders. Issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract
<br />Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of Contractor’s work. Such clarifications and interpretations will be
<br />consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents. Subject to any limitations in the
<br />Contract Documents, Engineer may issue field orders authorizing minor variations in the Work from the requirements of
<br />the Contract Documents. Coordinate a tracking log for clarifications and interpretations as part of the electronic data
<br />information system developed by Engineer.
<br />16. Change Orders and Work Change Directives. Recommend change orders and work change directives to Owner, as
<br />appropriate, and prepare change orders and work change directives as required.
<br />17. Shop Drawings and Samples. Review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to Shop Drawings and
<br />Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information given in the
<br />Contract Documents and compatibility with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as
<br />indicated by the Contract Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods,
<br />techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto. Engineer
<br />shall meet any Contractor’s submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted. Coordinate a tracking log for submittals as
