NEER's on-site observations as an experienced and
qualified design professional, on information provided
by the Resident Project Representative and on review
of applications fo_r payment and the accompanying data
and schedules:
1.6.9.1. ENGINEER shall determine the amounts
owing to Contractor(s) and recommend in writing
payments to Contractor(s) in such amounts. Such
recommendations of payment will constitute a rep-

and review, that the work has progressed to the point
indicated, and that, to the best of ENGINEER'S
knowledge, information and belief, the quality of
such work is generally in accordance with the Con-

check the quality or quantity of Contractor(s)' work
as it is furnished and performed beyond the respon-
sibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this
Agreement and the Contract Documents. ENGI-
NEER'S review of Contractor(s)' work for the pur-
poses of recommending payments will not impose on
ENGINEER responsibility to supervise, direct or

niques. sequences, or procedures of construction or
safety precautions or programs incident thereto or
Contractor(s) compliance with laws, rules, regula-
tions, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to their
furnishing and performing the work. It will also not
impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any
examination to ascertain how or for what purposes
any Contractor has used the moneys paid on account
of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to
any of the work, materials or equipment has passed
to OWN ER free and clear of any lien, claims, security
interests or encumbrances, or that there may not be

NEER shall receive and review maintenance and oper-
ating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds and

requirements of, and in the case of certificates of inspec-
tion, tests and approvals the results certified indicate
compliance with, the Contract Documents); and shall
transmit them to OWNER with written comments.
1.6.11. Inspections. ENGINEER shall conduct an
inspection to determine if the work is substantially
complete and a final inspection to determine if the com-
pleted work is acceptable so that ENGINEER may
recommend, in writing, final. payment to Contractor(s)
and may give written notice to OWNER and the Con-
tractor(s) that the work is acceptable (subject to any
conditions therein expressed), but any such recom-
mendation and notice will be subject to the limitations
expressed in paragraph 1.6.9.2.

not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any
Contractor, or of any subcontractor or supplier, or any

or otherwise furnishing or performing any of the Con-
tractor(s)' work; however, nothing contained in para-

sultants) pursuant to this Agreement are instruments
of service in respect of the Project and ENGINEER

whether or not the Project is completed. OWNER may
make and retain copies for information and reference
in connection with the use and occupancy of the Project
by OWNER and others; however, such documents are
not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by
OWNER or others on extensions of the Project or on
any other project. Any reuse without written verifica-
tion or adaptation by ENGINEER for the specific pur-
poseintended will be at OWNER's sole risk and without

posals, bids or actual Total Project or Construction
Costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost
prepared by ENGINEER. If prior to the Bidding or
Negotiating Phase OWNER wishes greater assurance
as to Total Project or Construction Costs, OWNER

in paragraph 3.2. ENGINEER's services to modify the
Contract Documents to bring the Construction Cost
within any limitation established by OWNER will be
