ENGINEER shall make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction as ENGINEER deems necessary in order to observe as an experienced and qualified design professional the progress and quality of the various aspects of Contractor's work. In addition, ENGINEER shall provide the services of a Resident Project Representative at the site to assist ENGINEER and to provide more continuous observations of such work. The furnishing of such Resident Project Representative services will not extend ENGINEER's responsibilities or authority beyond the specific limits set forth elsewhere in this paragraph 2.5. Such visits and observations by ENGINEER and the Resident Project Representative are not intended to be exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of the work in progress, or to involve detailed inspections of the work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to spot checking, selective sampling and similar methods of general observation of the work based on ENGINEER's exercise of professional judgment as assisted by the Resident Project Representative. Based on information obtained during such visits and such observations, ENGINEER shall endeavor to determine in general if such work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents and ENGINEER shall keep OWNER informed of the progress of the work. The responsibilities of ENGINEER contained in this paragraph are expressly subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 2.5.2.2 and other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere. 2.5.2.2. The purpose of ENGINEER's visits to and representation by the Resident Project Representative at the site will be to enable ENGINEER to better carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by ENGINEER during the Construction Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of ENGINEER's efforts as an experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of Contractor will conform in general to the Contract Documents and that the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents has been implemented and preserved by Contractor. On the other hand, ENGINEER shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct or have control over Contractor's work nor shall ENGINEER have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to the work of Contractor or for any failure of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work. Accordingly, ENGINEER neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 2.5.3. Defective Work. During such visits and on the basis of such observations, ENGINEER shall have authority to disapprove of or reject Contractor's work while it is in progress if ENGINEER believes that such work will not produce a completed Project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or that it will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents. 2.5.4. Clarifications and Interpretations, Field Orders. ENGINEER shall issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of the work. Such clarifications and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents. ENGINEER may issue Field Orders authorizing minor variations from the requirements of the Contract Documents. 2.5.5. Change Orders and Work Change Directives. ENGINEER shall recommend Change Orders and Work Change Directives to OWNER as appropriate, and shall prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives as required. 2.5.6. Shop Drawings. ENGINEER shall review and approve (or take other appropriate action in respect of) Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Page 6 of 19 Pages Contr~ctor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents and compatibility with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto. 2.5.7. Substitutes. ENGINEER shall evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or equal" materials and equipment proposed by Contractor, but subject to the provisions of paragraph 3.2.2. 2.5.8. Inspections and Tests. ENGINEER may require special inspections or tests of the work, and shall receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests and approvals required by laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders or the Contract Documents. ENGINEER's review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or procedures of such inspections, tests or approvals comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely on the results of such tests. 2.5.9. Disagreements between OWNER and Contractor. ENGINEER shall render the initial decisions on all claims of OWNER and Contractor relating to the acceptability of the work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of the work. In rendering such decisions, ENGINEER shall be fair and not show partiality to OWNER or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with any decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. 2.5.10. Applications for Payment. Based on ENGINEER's on-site observations as an experienced and qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules: 2.5.10.1. ENGINEER shall 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 lmowledge, information and belief, the 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 such 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 the work. In the case of unit price work, ENGINEER's recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of such work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents). The responsibilities of ENGINEER contained in paragraph 2.5.10.1 are expressly subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 2.5.10.2 and other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere. 2.5.10.2. By recommending any payment ENGINEER shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that on-site observations made by ENGINEER to check the quality or quantity of Contractor's work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract Documents. Neither ENGINEER's review of Contractor's work for the purposes of recommending payments nor ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment (including final payment) will impose on ENGINEER responsibility to supervise, direct or control such work or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor's compliance with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work. It will also not impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the moneys paid on account Page 7 of 19 Pages 0'[ the C6ntract Price, or to determine that title to any of the work, materials or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances, or that there may not be other matters at issue between OWNER and Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid. 2.5.11. Contractor's Completion Documents. ENGINEER shall receive, review and transmit to OWNER with written comments maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the Contract Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and marked-up record documents (including Shop Drawings, Samples and other data approved as provided under paragraph 2.5.6 and marked-up record Drawings) which are to be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents to obtain final payment. ENGINEER's review of such documents will only be to determine generally that their content complies with the requirements of, and in the case of certificates of inspections, tests and approvals that the results certified indicate compliance with, the Contract Documents. 2.5.12. Substantial Completion. Following notice from Contractor that Contractor considers the entire work ready for its intended use, ENGINEER and OWNER, accompanied by Contractor, shall conduct an inspection to determine if the work is substantially complete. If after considering any objections of OWNER, ENGINEER considers the work substantially complete, ENGINEER shall deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion to OWNER and Contractor. 2.5.13. Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. ENGINEER shall conduct a final inspection to determine if the 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 Exhibit D (the "Notice e>f Acceptability af Work") that the work is acceptable (subject to the provisions of paragraph 2.5.10.2) to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief and based on the extent of the services performed and furnished by ENGINEER under this Agreement. 2.5.14. Limitation of Responsibilities. ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Contractor, or of any subcontractor, any supplier, or of any other person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work. ENGINEER shall not be responsible for Contractor's failure to perform or furnish the work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 2.5.15. Duration of Construction Phase. The Construction Phase will commence with the execution of the construction contract for the Project or any part thereof and will terminate upon written recommendation by ENGINEER of final payment. If the Project involves more than one prime contract as indicated in paragraph 5.5, Construction Phase services may be rendered at different times in respect of separate prime contracts.

General. The Basic Services are premised on the following general scope of professional services: DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Morgan Road is located approximately one mile east of Fort Gordon's Gate 5 on US Highway 1 (Deans Bridge Road) and runs from Tobacco Road primarily north for two miles to Deans Bridge Road. It has posted speed limits of 35 and 40 MPH and its course changes in elevation from a high of 460+/- near Tobacco Road down to 230 over a tributary of Butler Creek back up to 290 near Deans Bridge Road. Morgan Road runs through what is predominantly a residential area of single family residences, churches, and a few small businesses and it has a few subdivisions and streets that tie into it at various points. The tax maps show an existing 80 foot right of way. Some of the adjacent terrain slopes steeply away from the road, and in only a few places, the adjacent grades slope towards the road. The project scope is to add curb and gutter and widen the road to 31 feet back to back of the curbs; the road is to be widened at each intersecting road to include deceleration and left turn lanes. Open ditches shall be filled in with storm piping added to convey storm water runoff to the same points that storm water is now being conveyed to by ditch. Sidewalks shall be added to both sides of Morgan Road. Where it is feasible, PM&A shall realign Morgan Road either or both horizontally and vertically to comply with the Georgia Department of Transportation's requirements for the proposed 40 MPH speed limit. Should this not be practical without requiring additional right of way or affecting grades of intersecting streets and/or drives, PM&A shall consult with Augusta-Richmond County before proceeding with the design. Augusta-Richmond County shall notify PM&A at a later date whether or not to design for passing. Page 1 of 3 pages (Exhibit A - Basic Services and Related Matters) SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work for engineering services required for the proposed improvements as detailed above is as follows: 1) Engineering Survey PM&A shall perform an engineering/topographical survey of the Morgan Road Right of Way running between the centerline of intersections with Loren Parkway near Tobacco Road north to a point of tie-in with the GDOT Project NH 043-1(49),1,850 feet south of Deans Bridge Road. This results in approximately 1.55 miles ofreconstruction. Additional topography shall be taken adjacent to the right of way in order to determine adjacent grades and points of tie-in for each intersecting street. Initial observations lead to the assumption that additional right of way will not be required; however, temporary construction easements will probably be required to facilitate construction in the areas where the adjacent terrain slopes steeply away from the new edge of pavement, where horizontal and/or vertical realignment is required and at each intersecting street. 2) Construction Drawings, Specifications and Cost Estimate PM&A shall prepare construction drawings detailing both the road, sidewalk and storm sewer improvements, as well as a cost estimate for the entire project using the Georgia Department of Transportation's unit costs. The plans shall show the centerline stationing beginning with Station 0+00 at the point of tie-in with Loren Parkway progressing north to the GDOT project-end previously described. Offsets shall be shown for all existing and new structural/manmade features such as utility poles, centerline of intersecting streets, drives and storm water appurtenances, (mail boxes and street signs shall not be located unless requested by the county). Drawings will be prepared using AutoCAD Release 14 and Eagle Point Civil Modules.
