2.8.2 The Architect/Engineer shall at all times have access to the Work whenever it is in
preparation or progress.
2.8.3 The Architect/Engineer shall, as contemplated herein and in the Construction Contract,

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 t0
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 c,
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 UI
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 other data 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.

additional inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract
Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed, or completed.

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 0-
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 adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose
of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities 0
or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems designed
by the Contractors, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractors to the extent required
by the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer's review shall not constitute approval of
safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect/Engineer, of
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The Architect/Engineer's U
approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a LU
component. When professional certification of performance characteristic of materials, systems
or equipment is required by the Contract Documents, the Architect/Engineer shall be entitled to
rely upon such certification to establish that the materials, systems or equipment will meet the
performance criteria required by the Contract Documents. Architect/Engineer shall take
appropriate action on submittals within 14 calendar days. The Architect/Engineer shall maintain
a tracking log for the submittals which shall include but not be limited to; the submittal as named

and/or unacceptable items required by the Contract Documents to include
architectural/engineering, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering portions of the work.

built plans, warranties, guarantees and other documents and things required by the Construction
Contract and submitted by the Contractor.
2.8.20 The Architect/Engineer shall not have control over or be in charge of and shall not be
responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety
precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the Contractor's
responsibility under the Contract for Construction. The Architect/Engineer shall not be responsible
for the Contractor's schedules or failure to carry out the work in accordance with the contract
documents. The Architect/Engineer shall not have control over or charge of acts or omissions of UI
the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any other persons performing
portions of the work. E
