Others shall not rely upon such inspection as acceptance of the work, nor should it be construed to relieve the Contractor in any way from the obligations and responsibilities the Contractor assumes under the construction contract. Specifically, but without limitation, inspection by the Design Professional shall not require the Design Professional to assume responsibilities for the means and methods of construction, nor for safety on the jobsite." Add the following paragraph to Article 2.6.5: Site visits shall be made weekly, for the estimated six (6) -month construction period and are included under Basic Services. See the August 10, 2004 proposal letter for Construction Administration Services beyond Basic Services. If additional trips are required for whatever reason, these trips shall be deemed as Additional Services and will be billed at hourly rates (see 11.3.1). If the completion date of the project is extended, Additional Services will be billed at hourly rates. 12.2 THE PROPOSED ORANGE COUNTY PARKS OPERATION BASE AND STORAGE FACILITY DESIGN APPROVAL PROCESS AND THE PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. The Designers' ability to adhere to the schedule (see proposal letter dated 8/10/04) is predicated upon timely receipt of reviews and approvals from the Owner, authorized agencies of the Owner and local or state agencies having jurisdiction over the project. 12.3 VALUE ENGINEERING: If the Orange County government, retains the service of a Value Engineer (VE) to review the design documents prepared by Corley Redfoot Zack, Inc. (CRZ), it shall be at the Owner's sole expense and shall be performed in a timely manner so as not to delay the orderly progress of CRZ's services. The Owner shall promptly notify CRZ of the identity of the VE and shall define the VE's scope of services and responsibilities for CRZ. All recommendations of the VE shall be given to CRZ for review and adequate time will be provided to CRZ to respond to these recommendations. If CRZ objects to any recommendations made by the VE, they shall so state in writing to the Owner, along with the reasons for objecting. Of the Owner requests the incorporation of changes in the design documents to which CRZ has objections, the Owner agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to waive all claims against CRZ and to indemnify and hold harmless CRZ from any damages, liability or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and cost of defense, which arise in connection with or as a result of the incorporation of such changes required by the Owner.
