from thc continuous services of a resident Project
Representative described in Subparagraph 6 below) to
observe the progress and quality of the executed work
and to determine in general if the work is proceeding
in accordance with the Contract Documents. In perform-
ing this service, the Engineer will not be required to

he will not be responsible for the techniques and se-
quences of construction or the safety precautions
incident thereto, and he will not be responsible or

perform the construction work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. During visits to the construction
site, and on the basis of the Engineer's on-site observa-
tions as an experienced and qualified design professional,
he will keep the Owner informed of the extent of the
progress of the work, and advise the Owner of material
and substantial defects and deficiencies in the work
of contractors which are discovered by the Engineer or
otherwise brought to the Engineer's attention in the

exercise whatever rights the Owner may have to disap-
prove work and materials as failing to conform to the
Contract Documents.

The authority and duties of such resident Project
Representatives are limited to examining the material
furnished and observing the work done, and to reporting
their findings to the Engineer. The Engineer will use
the usual degree of care and prudent judgment in the
selection of competent Project Representatives, and
the Engineer will use diligence to see that the Project
Representatives perform their required duties. It is
agreed, however, that the Engineer does not underwrite,
guarantee or insure the work done by the contractors, and,
since it is the contractors' responsibility to perform
the work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the
Engineer is not responsible or liable for the contractors'
failure to do so, and, so long as Engineer has exercised
the usual degree of care and prudent judgment in select-
ing Project Representatives and has used diligence to
see that they perform the work, failure by any Project
Representatives or other personnel engaged in on-the-site
observation to discover defects or deficiencies in tke
work of the contractors shall never relieve the contractors
for liability therefor or subject the Engineer to any
liability for any such defect or deficiencies. (See
Exhibit "B")
(7) Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop drawings,
