C. Resident Engineering Services
At the option of the Client, furnish a full-time or part-time
engineer and such engineering inspectors, as may be required on
the work, who will assist and offer general guidance in establishing
horizontal and vertical control points, the interpretation of the
contract documents, and the making of field checks of materials
and equipment.
During the course of the Contractor's performance of the job,
the resident engineer will conduct on-site observations of the
general progress of the work and will consult with the Client
and the Contractor, giving his opinions and suggestions, based
on his observations, as to any defects or deficiencies in the Con-
tractor's work relating to compliance with drawings, specifications,
and design and planning concepts. The resident engineer shall not
have responsibility for the superintendence of construction, site
conditions, safety, safe practices or unsafe practices or conditions,
operations, equipment, or personnel other than employees of the
Engineer. This service will in no way relieve the Contractor of
complete supervision of the work or the Contractor's obligation for
complete compliance with the drawings and specifications. The
Contractor shall have sole responsibility for safety and for
safe practices or unsafe practices or conditions.
The resident engineer will also prepare all routine partial and
final payment estimates for guiding the Client in making payments
to the Contractor, and will report regularly to the Client and
to the Engineers upon the progress and quality of the work.
The actual time the services of the resident engineer will be
required, and the number and duration of services of engineering
inspectors, will be determined by the Client.
SECTION II. For the services outlined above, the Client agrees to pay the
Engineers as follows:

Partial periodic monthly payments in the amount of 10 per cent
of the fee, the first such payment starting ninety (90) days
after authorization to start work and continuing each month
until delivery of drawings and specifications or until a maximum
of 80 per cent of the fee, based upon the Engineers' opinion
of probable construction cost of the work, has been paid. If at
the time of delivery of drawings and specifications a total of
80 per cent of the fee has not been paid in periodic payments,
then there shall he paid the remaining amount to bring the
payments to 80 per cent; and the remaining 20 per cent shall
be paid upon completion of construction work, provided the work
is placed under contract within two years after delivery of
drawings and specifications. In case the construction work
covered by the drawings and specifications is not placed under
contract within two years after the delivery of the drawings• and
specifications to the Client, then an additional 10 per cent of
the fee shall be due and payable and shall be based upon the
Engineers' opinion of probable construction cost, and the contract
shall be terminated or extended on terms mutually agreeable to
both parties.
The compensation for engineering services will he billed in two
segments, one segment for each construction contract. The first
will start as detailed above and the second will start approxi-
mately one year later allowing payment of engineering fees over
a period of approximately two years. The project will be designed
as one unit to insure continuity.
C. For the services of the resident engineer and engineering inspectors
