APPENDIX "A"
SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED BY CONSULTANT:
In fulfillment of this Contract, the CONSULTANT shall comply with the requirements of the appropriate
regulations and requirements of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and Federal Highway
Administration.
The CONSULTANT shall be responsible for performing the following activities:
A.1.01 Construction Phase
A. Upon written authorization from Owner, Engineer shall:
I. General Administration of Construction Contract. Consult with Owner and act as Owner's
representative as provided In the General Conditions. The extent and limitations of the
duties, responsibilities, and authority of Engineer as assigned in the General Conditions
shall not be modified, except as Engineer may otherwise agree in writing. All of Owner's
instructions to Contractor will be issued through Engineer, which shall have authority to
act on behalf of Owner in dealings with Contractor to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the General Conditions except as otherwise provided in writing.
2. Resident Project Representative (RPR). Provide the services of an RPR at the Site to assist
the Engineer and to provide more extensive observation of Contractor's work. Duties,
responsibilities, and authority of the RPR are as set forth in agreement. The furnishing of
such RPR's services will not limit, extend, or modify Engineer's responsibilities or authority
except as expressly set forth in the agreement.
3. Selecting Independent Testing Laboratory. Assist Owner in the selection of an
independent testing laboratory to perform the services identified in Exhibit B, Paragraph
B2.01.0.
4. Pre -Construction Conference. Participate in a Pre -Construction Conference prior to

S. Schedules. Receive, review, and determine the acceptability of any and all schedules that
Contractor is required to submit to Engineer, including the Progress Schedule, Schedule of
Submittals, and Schedule of Values.
6. Baselines and Benchmarks. As appropriate, establish baselines and benchmarks for
locating the Work which in Engineer's judgment are necessary to enable Contractor to
proceed.
7. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. In connection with observations of
Contractor's Work while it is in progress:
Page I of 9 Appendix "A"
a. 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 and quality of Contractor's executed Work. Such visits and
observations by Engineer, and the Resident Project Representative, if any, 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 Resident Project Representative, if any.
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.
b. The purpose of Engineer's visits to, and representation by the Resident Project
Representative, if any, at 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 on 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 and perform the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
8. Defective Work. Recommend to Owner that Contractor's Work be rejected while it is in
progress if, on the basis of Engineer's observations, Engineer believes that such Work will
not produce a completed Project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or
that it will threaten the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a
functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents.
9. 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. Engineer may issue
Field Orders authorizing minor variations in the Work from the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
Page 2 of 9 Appendix "A"
10. 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.
11. 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
Contractors submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted.
12. Substitutes and 'or -equal." Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or -
equal" materials and equipment proposed by Contractor, but subject to the provisions of
Paragraph A2.02.A.2 of this Exhibit A.
13. Inspections and Tests. 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. Engineer's
review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified
indicate compliance with the Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent
evaluation that the content or procedures of such inspections, tests, or approvals comply
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Engineer shall be entitled to rely on
the results of such tests.
14. 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 rendering such decisions, Engineer shall be fair
and not show partiality to Owner or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with
any decision rendered in good faith in such capacity.
15. Applications for Payment. Based on Engineers observations as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation:
a. Determine the amounts that Engineer recommends Contractor be paid. Such
recommendations of payment will be In writing and will constitute Engineer's
representation to Owner, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of
Engineers knowledge, information and belief, Contractors Work has progressed to
the point indicated, the quality of such Work is generally in accordance with the
Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
Page 3 of 9 Appendix "A"
prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called
for in the Contract Documents, and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to
such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to
observe Contractor's Work. 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. It will also not impose
responsibility on Engineer to make any examination to ascertain how or for what
purposes Contractor has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or to
determine that title to any portion of the Work in progress, materials, or equipment
has passed to Owner free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances, or that there may not be other matters at issue between Owner and
Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid.
16. Contractor's Completion Documents. Receive, review, and transmit to Owner
maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or
other evidence of insurance required by the Contract Documents, certificates of
inspection, tests and approvals, Shop Drawings, Samples and other data approved as
provided under Paragraph A1.05.A.11, and the annotated record documents which are to
be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents to obtain final
payment. The extent of such review by Engineer will be limited as provided in Paragraph
A1.05.A.11.
17. Substantial Completion. Promptly after notice from Contractor that Contractor considers
the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with Owner and Contractor,
conduct an inspection to determine if the Work is substantially complete. If after
considering any objections of Owner, Engineer considers the Work substantially complete,
Engineer shall deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion to Owner and Contractor.
18. Additional Tasks. Perform or provide the following additional Construction Phase tasks or
deliverables: NONE
Page 4 of 9 Appendix "A"
19. Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. Conduct a final inspection to determine if the
completed Work of Contractor is acceptable so that Engineer may recommend, in writing,
final payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment,
Engineer shall also provide a notice (the "Notice of Acceptability of Work') that the Work
is acceptable (subject to the provisions of Paragraph A1.05.A.15.b) to the best of
Engineer's knowledge, information, and belief and based on the extent of the services
provided by Engineer under this Agreement.
B. Duration of Construction Phase. The Construction Phase will commence with the execution of
the first construction Contract for the Project or any part thereof and will terminate upon
written recommendation by Engineer for final payment to Contractors. If the Project involves
