installed work, materials and equipment, the Engineer will endeavor to provide
further protection of the City against defects and deficiencies in the work, but
this inspection and observation work shall not make the Engineer responsible
to find or note all discrepancies in the work nor for the Contractor's failure to
perform the construction work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Note that the construction inspection observation and inspections are to be
supplementary to those provided under the Construction Administration
Services.
D. The Engineer will provide a record of the Contractor's activities throughout the
construction, including notations on the nature and cost of any extra work or
changes ordered during construction; however, the Engineer is not responsible
for the performance of the construction contract by the Contractor. To maintain

provide information based on inspections conducted by the City.

materials testing firm representatives, with City surveyors and others that may
from time to time provide inspection of the work or other related work, as well as
with regulatory agency personnel.

reviewed by the Engineer to help determine if fill, concrete and asphaltic
concrete and other construction is properly located and meets the project
requirements. The Engineer shall maintain a file of provided copies of tests
results and survey checks during the construction process and prior to approval
of the Contractor's final pay request, shall review the Contract Documents and
test results and surveys to determine whether all required testing is on hand and
that all tests reported acceptable materials, compaction, etc., and that
construction is properly located.
G. If determined to be necessary, survey services to support construction shall be
provided by CPH Engineers, Inc. CPH Engineers, Inc. provided the survey for
the original forcemain design through a subconsultant. Survey services shall
consist of assisting the Contractor in establishing the project benchmark.
