Page 5 (Exhibit K – (Amendment to Owner-Engineer Agreement) – Attachment 1) 11. Disagreements between Owner and Contractor: Render formal written decisions on all duly submitted issues relating to the acceptability of Contractor’s work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution, performance, or progress of Contractor’s Work; review each duly submitted Claim by Owner or Contractor, and in writing either deny such Claim in whole or in part, approve such Claim, or decline to resolve such Claim if Engineer in its discretion concludes that to do so would be inappropriate.

In the case of unit price work, Engineer’s recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of Contractor’s Work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents). b. By recommending any payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity of Contractor’s Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in this Agreement and the Contract Documents. Neither Engineer’s review of Contractor’s Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer’s recommendation of any payment including final payment will impose on Engineer responsibility to supervise, direct, or control Contractor’s Work in progress or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor’s compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s furnishing and performing the Work.
