Construction Phase - Administration of the Construction Contract INDICATE IN STATEMENT OF WORK “NOT APPLICABLE” IF SECTION IS NOT APPLICABLE
1.1.9.1. The Construction Phase will commence with the award of the Construction Contract to a selected vendor (“Contractor”) and will terminate when final payment is made by the State to the Contractor. In any event, the construction phase will not extend 60 days beyond the substantial completion date unless extended by change order. If such extension occurs, additional costs due to the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be negotiated with the State.
1.1.9.2. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall work with the State during the construction of the Project to provide the administration of the contract between the State and the Contractor in accordance with the terms herein and consistent with the contract between the State and the Contractor, and the extent of his/her duties and responsibilities and the limitations of his/her authority as assigned therein shall not be modified without his/her written consent.
1.1.9.3. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall advise and consult with the State, and all of the State's instructions to the Contractor shall be issued through the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER after authorization by the State.
1.1.9.4. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall, at all times, have access to the work wherever it is in preparation or progress.
1.1.9.5. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall make periodic visits to the Project site, at least biweekly, and shall make such further visits when reasonably requested by the State, as to familiarize himself/herself with the progress and quality of the work performed and as to determine, on the basis of such visits, if such progress and quality are in accordance with the Contract Documents. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be responsible for project meeting minutes. In addition to this, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall periodically report his/her findings thereon to the State, at such times as in the exercise of his/her professional judgment such findings are appropriate and at least monthly, at the conference provided for in Section 1.1.9.6, and further at such times as the State may reasonably request. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections, except as required in the exercise of his/her professional judgment for said reports and, except in particular, to fulfill the commissioning requirements. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the work, and he/she shall not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the work in accordance with the Contract Documents except as provided for herein specifically between the State and the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER.

Where the term ARCHITECT/ENGINEER is used in Section 1.1.9.2 as well as 1.1.9.5, it shall include those sub-consultants when work is being performed in their area of expertise. For example, the Mechanical Engineer would inspect the under slab plumbing before it is backfilled, but then wouldn’t necessarily be needed on site until the rest of the mechanical systems are being installed. The sub-consultant shall also be required to periodically inspect the progress of the “As-builts” and verify that they are up-to-date and verify such to the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, before the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER issues the certificate of payment for that pay period.
1.1.9.7. Based upon his/her determinations and reports made under Section 1.1.9.5 of this Agreement and upon the Contractor's applications for payment, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall once every month, after an on-site conference between the State, the Contractor and the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, determine the amount then owing to the Contractor and shall then issue a certificate of payment for the amount agreed upon. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall constitute a representation by the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER to the State, based on such ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S determination and report and the data supplied to him/her by the Contractor (without affecting his/her duties defined in Section 1.1.9.5.), that the work has progressed to the point indicated; that the quality of the work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to the results of any specified subsequent tests required by the Contract Documents, to immaterial and insubstantial deviations from the Contract Documents, which will be corrected prior to completion, and to any further specific qualifications stated in the Certificate for Payment); and that the Contractor is entitled to such payment in the amount certified. Provided, however, the issuance of such certificate will not affect any obligations of the Contractor to the State. By issuing a certificate for payment, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be deemed to represent that he/she has made any examination to ascertain how and for what purpose the Contractor has used the monies paid on account of the contract sum. ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not accept any part of the work on behalf of the State; ARCHITECT/ENGINEER may only recommend acceptance. Final acceptance is a right reserved solely to the State.

1.1.9.9. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall review and respond to shop drawings, samples, and other submissions of the Contractor as in conformance with the design concept and information in the Contract Documents and the designs and plans relating to the project until approved or not requiring re-submission.

The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall inspect, and document, each and every system to ensure that it complies with design intent, including but not limited to: system installation, system operation, and seasonal changeover.
1.1.9.13. Except in the manner specifically provided for herein, the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall not be responsible to the State for the acts or omissions of the Contractor or any of the Contractor’s agents or employees, or any other person not an employee or agent of the ARCHITECT/ENGINEER performing work on the Project. The ARCHITECT/ENGINEER shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of any increase in the total Contract Price or the total Change Order(s) Price, which increase results from an error, inconsistency, or omission in the Contract Documents or instructions.
1.1.9.14.
