Page 5 of 9
(Exhibit A) PART 1
a. Determine the amounts that ENGINEER recommends Contractor be paid. 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

after considering any objections of OWNER, ENGINEER considers the Work Substantially Complete, ENGINEER
shall deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion to OWNER and Contractor.
17. Additional Tasks. Perform or provide additional Construction Phase tasks or deliverables as directed by
OWNER and payable as outlined in Exhibit B.

Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, ENGINEER shall also provide a notice in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit D (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.
B. Duration of Construction Phase. The Construction Phase will commence with the 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
