intended for one-time use in the construction of this Project. These Project Documents
are and shall remain the property of the Engineer. The Client may retain copies,
including copies stored on magnetic tape or disk, for information and reference in
connection with the occupancy and use of the Project.
When and if record drawings are to be provided bythe Engineer, Client understands that
information used in the preparation of record drawings is provided by others and
Engineer is not responsible for accuracy, completeness, nor sufficiency of such
information. Client also understands that the level of detail illustrated by record drawings
will generally be the same as the level of detail illustrated by the design drawing used for
project construction. If additional detail is requested by the Client to be included on the
record drawings, then the Client understands and agrees that the Engineer will be due
additional compensation for additional services.
It is also understood and agreed that because of the possibility that information and data
delivered in machine readable form may be altered, whether inadvertently or otherwise,
the Engineer reserves the right to retain the original tapes/disks and to remove from
copies provided to the Client all identification reflecting the involvement of the Engineer
in their preparation. The Engineer also reserves the right to retain hard copy originals of
all Project Documentation delivered to the Client in machine readable form, which

Compensation Act, court interpretations of said Act or otherwise; and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless and
defend Owner and Engineer and their agents, employees and consultants (the
"Indemnitees") from and against all such loss, expense, damage or injury,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, that the Indemnitees may sustain as a result
of such claims, except to the extent that Illinois law prohibits indemnity for the
