We agree to professionally supervise work constructed from our plans,
for an additional 1-1/2 per cent, or 5 per cent in all, where the work
is in the city, and inspect work out of city at the same rate per cent,
visits not to exceed 2 per month. In any case where a Clerk-of-Works is
required, either on account of the magnitude of the job, or the
inefficiency or carelessness of the contractors, the cost of same is to
be paid by you in addition to our compensation for supervision or
inspection, and said Clerk is to be approved by us.
We do not agree to be responsible for the acts of the Clerk-of-Works, or
for the negligence or violations of contracts by the contractors any
further than we can reasonably detect at the time of our visits of
supervision or inspection; but such negligence or violations of
contracts, as we detect, we will have corrected, so far as the power
vested in us will permit and as speedily as possible.
You are at all times to consult with us about desired changes or
additions to the work; to order all such changes through us; and to
notify us in regard to any work done or material used that you consider
is a violation of the contract.
No allowance from our percentage will be made for drawings contracted
for and not furnished, except upon a refusal by us to furnish such as
may be necessary.
The supervision and inspection contemplated by this agreement, is such
as is calculated to and ordinarily will secure the furnishing of
materials of the kind and quality required by the contract, and the
performance of the work in accordance with the plans and specifications,
and in a good, workmanlike and substantial manner.
