of all project close-out documents by the Architect/Engineer and Contractor. The
Architect/Engineer will administer the Owner/Contractor contract as provided for in that document.
The Architect/Engineer agrees to perform a project check prior to the end of the warranty period as
a part of the contract. The check shall not exceed one working day unless additional time is
approved by the Owner.
2.8.2 The Architect/Engineer shall at all times have access to the Work whenever it is in

32
Attachment: MC Harry contract with forms & insurance (Approval of Professional A/E Continuing Contract with M.C. Harry and Associates, Inc.)
Packet Pg. 768
C.20.a
shall be given to the Contractor by the Architect/Engineer or Monroe County’s Project Management
Department.
2.8.4 Upon receipt, the Architect/Engineer shall carefully review and examine the Contractor's
Schedule of Values, together with any supporting documentation or data which the Owner or the
Architect/Engineer may require from the Contractor. The purpose of such review and examination
shall be to protect the Owner from an unbalanced Schedule of Values which allocates greater
value to certain elements of the Work than is indicated by such supporting documentation or data,
or than is reasonable under the circumstances. If the Schedule of Values was not found to be
appropriate, or if the supporting documentation or data is deemed to be inadequate, and unless the
Owner directs the Architect/Engineer to the contrary in writing, the Schedule of Values shall be
returned to the Contractor for revision of supporting documentation or data. After making such
examination, if the Schedule of Values is found to be appropriate as submitted, or if necessary, as
revised, the Architect/Engineer shall sign the Schedule of Values thereby indicating its informed
belief that the Schedule of Values constitutes a reasonable, balanced basis for payment of the
Contract Price to the Contractor. The Architect/Engineer shall not approve such Schedule of
Values in the absence of such belief unless directed to do so, in writing, by the Owner.
2.8.5 The Architect/Engineer shall carefully inspect the work of the Contractor and shall, at a
minimum, inspect work at the Project site once every week. The purpose of such inspections shall
be to determine the quality and quantity of the work in comparison with the requirements of the
Construction Contract. In making such inspections, the Architect/Engineer shall protect the Owner
from continuing deficient or defective work, from continuing unexcused delays in the schedule and
from overpayment to the Contractor. Following each inspection, the Architect/Engineer shall
submit a written report of such inspection, together with any appropriate comments or
recommendations to the Owner.
2.8.6 The Architect/Engineer shall initially approve periodic and final payments owed to the
Contractor under the Construction Contract predicated upon inspections of the work and
evaluations of the Contractor's rate of progress in light of the remaining contract time and shall
issue to the Owner Approvals of Payment in such amounts. By issuing an Approval of Payment to
the Owner, the Architect/Engineer reliably informs the Owner that the Architect/Engineer has made
the inspection of the work required, and that the work for which payment is approved has reached
the quantities or percentages of completion shown, or both, that the quality of the Contractor's work
meets or exceeds the requirements of the Construction Contract, and that under the terms and
conditions of the Construction Contract, the Owner is obligated to make payment to the Contractor
of the amount approved.
2.8.7 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the
Architect/Engineer has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality
or quantity of the Work; (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material
suppliers and otherdata requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment
or; (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on
account of the Contract Sum.
2.8.8 The Architect/Engineer shall have authority, after notification to the Monroe County’s
Project Management Department to reject Work, which does not conform to the Contract
Documents. Whenever the Architect/Engineer considers it necessary or advisable for
implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents the Architect/Engineer will have authority,
upon written authorization from the Owner, to require additional inspection or testing of the Work in
33
Attachment: MC Harry contract with forms & insurance (Approval of Professional A/E Continuing Contract with M.C. Harry and Associates, Inc.)
Packet Pg. 769
C.20.a
accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed.
2.8.9 The Architect/Engineer shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon
Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited
purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in
the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer's action shall be taken with such reasonable
promptness as to cause no delay in the Contractor's Work or in construction by the Owner's own
forces, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect/Engineer's professional judgment to permit
