CONSULTANT shall perform the Services at its offices or at such other locations as may
be necessary or appropriate.
2.0 SUBCONSULTANTS
If CLIENT requests that CONSULTANT subcontract certain geotechnical services on
behalf of the CLIENT, CONSULTANT agrees to do so only as an accommodation to the
CLIENT and in reliance upon the CLIENT's assurance that the CLIENT will make no claim
to bring any action at law or in equity against CONSULTANT as a result of this
subcontracted service. The CLIENT understands that CONSULTANT is neither trained
nor knowledgeable in the procedures or results of the subconsultant's services and the
CLIENT shall not rely upon CONSULTANT to check the quality or accuracy of their
services. In addition, the CLIENT agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law to
indemnify and hold CONSULTANT harmless from any damage, liability, or cost (including

negligence or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT.
3.0 STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE
3.1 The standard of care for all professional services performed or furnished by
CONSULTANT under this Agreement shall be performed in a manner consistent
with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same
profession currently practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and
in the same or similar locality. Notwithstanding any clause in this Agreement to
the contrary, nothing shall be construed as imposing on the CONSULTANT any
greater obligation than to exercise the Standard of Care. The CONSULTANT shall
not be liable for the cost of any omission that adds value to the Project.
CONSULTANT makes no warranties, express or implied, under this Agreement or
otherwise, in connection with CONSULTANT's Services.
3.2 CONSULTANT shall be responsible for the technical accuracy of its Services and

subconsultants unacceptable to CONSULTANT.
CONSULTANT and CLIENT shall comply with applicable laws and regulations as
generally applied to the services rendered in the locale of the project as of its
Effective Date. Changes to these requirements after the Effective Date of this
Agreement may be the basis for modifications to CLIENT's responsibilities or to
CONSULTANT's scope of services,time of performance, or compensation.
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.
3.7 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

related documents (the "Contract Documents") given by CLIENT without
consultation and advice of CONSULTANT.
3.8 All opinions of probable construction cost to be provided by CONSULTANT shall
represent the professional judgment 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.

any damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs
arising from, or allegedly arising from or in any way connected with, the unauthorized
reuse or modification of the documents by CLIENT or any person or entity that acquires
or obtains the documents from or through the CLIENT without the written authorization
of CONSULTANT.
Under no circumstances shall the transfer of ownership of CONSULTANT's drawings,
specifications, electronic files or other instruments of service be deemed a sale by
CONSULTANT, and CONSULTANT makes no warranties, either express or implied, of
merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose, nor shall such transfer be
construed or regarded as any waiver or other relinquishment of CONSULTANT's
copyrights in any of the foregoing, full ownership of which shall remain with
CONSULTANT, absent CONSULTANT's express prior written consent.
6.0 ELECTRONIC MEDIA
Data, words, graphical representations, and drawings that are stored on electronic
