Contractor's Work while it is in progress:
a. Make visits to the Site on monthly intervals during construction, to observe as an
experienced and qualified design professional the progress and quality of
Contractor's executed Work. Such visits and observations 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

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. However,neither Engineer's authority to
reject Work nor Engineer's decision to exercise or not exercise such authority shall give
rise to a duty or responsibility of the Engineer to Contractors, Subcontractors, material
and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or any other person(s) or entities
performing any of the Work, including but not limited to any duty or responsibility for
Contractors' or Subcontractors' safety precautions and programs incident to the Work.

i
i
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 will meet
any Contractor's submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted. Submittal review time
will be coordinated with the Owner's Representative(if any).

(performance of test to be done by others) 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.
11.Disagreements with Construction Contractor. Render formal written decisions to the
Owner's Representative (if any),when requested, on all duly submitted issues relating to
the acceptability of Contractor's work or the interpretation of the requirements of the

qualified design professional and on review of draft Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation (prepared by Owner's inspection team):
a. Submit recommendation to Owner or Owner's Representative(if any) on issuance
of payments to Contractor. 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 Engineer's knowledge, information
and belief, Contractor's 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 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 firlfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe i
Contractor's Work. In the case of unit price work, Engineer's recommendations I

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
constriction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor's
compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's Runishing 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.

Owner's Representative (if any) 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

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 11. Furnish one set of reproducible drawings and

SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of this Scope of Work is to perform construction phase services for Treated Water
Transmission Main Segment 2C
The major work items included in this scope of work include the following:
• Construction administration
• Construction management support
Specific services included in this Scope of Work are described herein:
A. Construction Administration:
The following services shall be performed for the Construction Contract:
1. General Administration of Construction Contract. Consult with owner, and provide
general construction administration services as described herein.
2. Pi•e-Construction Conference. Attend and participate in a Pre-Construction Conference
prior to commencement of Work.
3. Schedules. Receive, review, and determine the acceptability of any and all schedules
that the construction Contractor is required to submit to the Owner or the Owner's
Representative, including the Progress Schedule, Schedule of Submittals, and Schedule
of Values.
4. Tlisits to Site and Observation of Construction. In connection with observations of
Contractor's Work while it is in progress:
a. Make visits to the Site on monthly intervals during construction, to observe as an
experienced and qualified design professional the progress and quality of
Contractor's executed Work. Such visits and observations 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's
Representative informed of the progress of the Work.
I of 6
b. The purpose of Engineer's visits to 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.
5. Defective fVork. Engineer will have the authority in coordination with the Owner's
Representative (if any) to reject Contractor's Work 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. However,neither Engineer's authority to
reject Work nor Engineer's decision to exercise or not exercise such authority shall give
rise to a duty or responsibility of the Engineer to Contractors, Subcontractors, material
and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or any other person(s) or entities
performing any of the Work, including but not limited to any duty or responsibility for
Contractors' or Subcontractors' safety precautions and programs incident to the Work.
6. Clarifications and Inte11n•etations; Field Orders. In coordination with the Owner's
Representative (if any), 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 in
coordination with the Owner's Representative (if any).
7. Change Orders and Work Change Directives. Recommend Change Orders and Work
Change Directives to Owner or the Owner's Representative (if any), as appropriate, and
prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives as required.
8. Shop Drcnvings 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
2of6
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 will meet
any Contractor's submittal schedule that Engineer has accepted. Submittal review time
will be coordinated with the Owner's Representative(if any).
9. Substitutes and "orequaL " Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or
"or-equal" materials and equipment proposed by Contractor.
10. Inspections and Tests. In coordination with the Owner's Representative (if any), require
(performance of test to be done by others) 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.
11.Disagreements with Construction Contractor. Render formal written decisions to the
Owner's Representative (if any),when requested, 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,and in writing either recommend
to the Owner's Representative (if any) to 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.
12.Applications,for Payment. Based on Engineer's observations as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on review of draft Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation (prepared by Owner's inspection team):
a. Submit recommendation to Owner or Owner's Representative (if any) on issuance
of payments to Contractor. 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 Engineer's knowledge, information
and belief, Contractor's 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 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 fiilfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe
Contractor's Work. In the case of unit price work, Engineer's recommendations
3 of G
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 fiirnished 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.
13. Conn-actor's Completion Documents. Receive, review, and transmit to Owner or the
Owner's Representative (if any) 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 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 11. Furnish one set of reproducible drawings and
electronic files (AutoCAD 2009 on CD ROM)to BCRUA.
14.Substantial Completion Inspection. Promptly after notice from Contractor that
Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with Owner,
the Owner's Representative (if any) and Contractor, conduct an inspection to determine
if the Work is substantially complete. If after considering any objections of Owner,

notice that the Work is acceptable to the best of Engineer's knowledge, information, and
belief and based on the extent of the services provided by Engineer under this
Agreement. During the post construction phase, Engineer shall visit the work site with
