and the accompanying data and schedules; ENGINEER shall determine the amount owed to CONTRACTOR and recommend in writing payments to CONTRACTOR. This recommendation will constitute a representation to OWNER that the work has progressed to the point indicated, and that, to the best of ENGINEER'S knowledge, information and belief, the quality of such work is generally in accordance with the contract documents.

Any such recommendation is subject to the limitations expressed earlier herein. 2.5.9 Limitation of Responsibilities ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any CONTRACTOR, or its subcontractor, supplier, or any of the CONTRACTOR'S or subcontractor's suppliers, agents or employees, or any other persons (except ENGINEER'S own employees and agents) at the site or otherwise furnishing or performing any of the CONTRACTOR'S work; however, nothing contained in this section shall release ENGINEER from liability for failure to properly perform duties and responsibilities assumed by ENGINEER in the contract documents.
