qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and
accompanying supporting documentation:

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 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).

Complete, ENGINEER shall deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion to OWNER

completed Work of Contractor is acceptable so that ENGINEER may recommend, in
writing, final payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final
payment, ENGINEER shall also provide a notice in the form attached hereto as
Attachment E (the "Notice of Acceptability of Work") 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.

execution of the first Construction Agreement for the Project or any part thereof and will
terminate upon written recommendation by ENGINEER for final payment to Contractors.
If the Project involves more than one prime contract, Construction Phase services may
be rendered at different times in respect to the separate contracts.

omissions of any Contractor, or of any of their subcontractors, suppliers, or of any other

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 fulfilled in so far as it is ENGINEER's responsibility
