GENERAL CONDITIONS GC-18
4.1.6 The Engineer and Board will each have the separate authority to reject Work which does not
conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Engineer or Board considers it necessary or
advisable for implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, the Engineer and Board will
have authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with
Subparagraphs 13.3.2 and 13.3.3, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
However, neither this authority of the Engineer and Board nor a decision made in good faith either
to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Engineer
or Board to the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers,
their agents or employees, or other persons performing portions of the Work.
4.1.7 The Engineer and Board will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the
Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited
purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in
the Contract Documents. The Board's or Engineer's actions will be taken with such reasonable
promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Board, Contractor, or separate
contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Board's or the Engineer's professional judgment
to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of
determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or
for the substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of
which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The
Engineer's or the Board's review of the Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of
the obligations under Paragraphs 3.2, 3.4 and 3.11. The Engineer's or Board's review shall not
constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Engineer or
Board, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Engineer's
or Board's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item
is a component.
4.1.8 The Engineer will prepare the documentation or bulletins from which the Board will prepare
Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, and the Engineer may authorize minor changes
in the Work as provided in Paragraph 7.4.
4.1.9 The Engineer will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial
Completion and the date of final completion, will receive and forward to the Board for the Board's
review and records all written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and
assembled by the Contractor, and an opinion from which the Board will issue a final Certificate for
Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
4.1.10 If the Board and Engineer agree, the Engineer will provide one (1) or more project
representatives to assist in carrying out the Engineer's responsibilities at the site. The duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of such project representatives, if any, shall be as set
forth in the Contract Documents.
4.1.11 The Engineer will be asked to interpret and decide matters concerning performance under,
and requirements of, the Contract Documents on written request of either the Board or Contractor.
The Engineer's response to such requests will be made with reasonable promptness and within any
time limits agreed upon. If no agreement is made concerning the time within which interpretations
required of the Engineer shall be furnished in compliance with this Paragraph 4.1, then delay shall
