information provided by the apparent low bidder to determine if, based on the information available, they
appear to be qualified (based on owner requirements) to construct the project. Recommend award of
contracts or other actions as appropriate to be taken by OWNER.
Phase IV -Construction:
Upon completion of the bid or negotiation phase services, FNI will proceed with the performance of construction
phase services as described as follows. FNI will endeavor to protect OWNER in providing these services;however,
it is understood that FNI does not guarantee the contractor's performance, nor is FNI responsible for supervision of
the contractor's operation and employees. FNI shall not be responsible for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures of construction selected by the contractor, or any safety precautions and programs
relating in any way to the condition of the premises,the work of the contractor or any subcontractor. FNI shall not be
responsible for the acts or omissions of any person (except its own employees or agents) at the Project site or
otherwise performing any of the work of the Project.
The OWNER agrees to include provisions in the construction contract documents that will require the construction
contractor to include FNI and their subconsultants on this project to be listed as an additional insured on
contractor's insurance policies.

contract documents. Monitor the processing of contractor's submittals and provide for filing and retrieval of
project documentation. Produce monthly reports indicating the status of all submittals in the review process.
Review contractor's submittals, including requests for information, modification requests, shop drawings,
schedules, and other submittals in accordance with the requirements of the construction contract
documents for the projects. Monitor the progress of the contractor in sending and processing submittals to
see that documentation is being processed in accordance with schedules.
5) Make a maximum of one (1) monthly visits to the site (as distinguished from the continuous services of a
Resident Project Representative) to observe the progress and the quality of work and to attempt to
determine in general if the work is proceeding in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents.
The estimated construction time for this project is 9 months. Therefore, FNI will visit the site 9 times with 6
additional site visits as required (15 total). In this effort FNI will endeavor to protect the OWNER against
defects and deficiencies in the work of contractors and will report any observed deficiencies to OWNER.
Visits to the site in excess of the specified number are an additional service.
6) Review quality related documents provided by the contractor such as test reports, equipment installation
reports or other documentation required by the Construction Contract Documents. Coordinate the work of
testing laboratories required for the testing or inspection of materials, witnessed tests, factory testing, etc.
