CLIENT shall be responsible for, and CONSULTANT may rely upon, the accuracy and completeness of all requirements, programs, instructions, reports, data, and other information furnished by CLIENT to CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement. CONSULTANT may use such requirements, reports, data, and information in performing or furnishing services under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT shall not be required to sign any documents, no matter by whom requested, that would result in CONSULTANT’s having to certify, guarantee or warrant the existence of conditions whose existence CONSULTANT cannot ascertain. CLIENT agrees not to make resolution of any dispute with CONSULTANT or payment of any amount due to CONSULTANT in any way contingent upon CONSULTANT’s signing any such certification.

CONSULTANT shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor(s), subcontractor or supplier, or any of the contractor’s agents or employees or any other persons (except CONSULTANT’s own employees) at the site or otherwise furnishing or performing any of the contractor’s work; or for any decision made on interpretations or clarifications of any contract for construction, general conditions, supplemental conditions, change orders, and related documents (the “Contract Documents”) given by CLIENT without consultation and advice of CONSULTANT.

All opinions of probable construction cost to be provided by CONSULTANT shall represent the best judgement of CONSULTANT based upon the information currently available and upon CONSULTANT’s background and experience with respect to projects of this nature. It is recognized, however, that neither CONSULTANT nor the CLIENT has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment, over contractor’s method of determining cost of services, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, CONSULTANT cannot and does not warrant or represent that the proposals or construction bids received will not vary from the cost estimates provided pursuant to this Agreement.

Contemporaneous with the execution of this agreement, CONSULTANT and CLIENT shall designate specific individuals to act as CONSULTANT’s and CLIENT’s representatives with respect to the Services to be performed or furnished by CONSULTANT and responsibilities of CLIENT under this Agreement. Such individuals shall have authority to transmit instructions, receive information, and render decisions relative to the Project on behalf of each respective party.
