<br />amounts. The ArchitectÓs certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the Owner, based on the ArchitectÓs
<br />evaluation of the Work as provided in Section 3.6.2 and on the data comprising the Construction ManagerÓs Application for
<br />Payment, that, to the best of the ArchitectÓs knowledge, information and belief, the Work has progressed to the point
<br />indicated, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, and that the Construction Manager is
<br />entitled to payment in the amount certified. The foregoing representations are subject to (1) an evaluation of the Work for
<br />conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, (2) results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3)
<br />correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) specific qualifications expressed by
<br />the Architect.
<br />
<br />§ 3.6.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or
<br />continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods,
<br />techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and suppliers and other

<br />sufficient time, in the ArchitectÓs professional judgment, to permit adequate review.

<br />such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with

<br />purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other information such as dimensions, quantities, and installation or
<br />performance of equipment or systems, which are the Construction ManagerÓs responsibility. The ArchitectÓs review shall not
<br />constitute approval of safety precautions or construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
<br />ArchitectÓs approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
<br />
<br />§ 3.6.4.3 If the Contract Documents specifically require the Construction Manager to provide professional design services or
<br />certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials, or equipment, the Architect shall specify the appropriate
<br />performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Architect shall review and take appropriate action on
<br />Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by the Construction ManagerÓs design
<br />professional, provided the submittals bear such professionalÓs seal and signature when submitted to the Architect. The
<br />ArchitectÓs review shall be for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design
<br />concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not be responsible for,
<br />the adequacy and accuracy of the services, certifications, and approvals performed or provided by such design professionals.
