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 fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe Contractor's Work.
In the case of unit price work, Engineer's recommendations of payment will include
final determinations of quantities and classifications of Contractor's Work (subject to
any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents).
3.17.2 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 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 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.

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 fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe Contractor's Work.
In the case of unit price work, Engineer's recommendations of payment will include
final determinations of quantities and classifications of Contractor's Work (subject to
any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents).
3.17.2 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 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 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.
