the Work of the various trades and the Engineer shall pass upon them with reasonable promptness. The Contractor shall make any corrections required by the Engineer, file with the Engineer two (2) corrected copies and furnish such other copies as may be needed. The Engineer's approval of such drawings or schedules shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviation from Plans or Specifications, unless the Contractor has, in writing, called the Engineer's attention to such deviation at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors of any sort in Shop Drawings or schedules. 4.4 Unless otherwise set forth in the Contract Documents or bidding documents, it shall be the Contractor's sole responsibility to determine subsoil conditions prior to the bidding of the job. If under the terms of the Contract Documents, the responsibility for subsoil conditions is with the Contractor, Contractor hereby represents that he has inspected the location or locations of the Work and has satisfied himself as to the condition thereof, including subsoil conditions, and that the Contract Price as set forth herein is just and reasonable compensation for all Work, including all foreseen or unforeseeable risks, hazards, and difficulties in connection therewith. 4.5 The Engineer will furnish and set stakes as may be necessary for the Contractor in order that the Contractor may construct the Work to the proper grade and alignment. 4.6 The Contractor shall carefully preserve benchmarks, reference points and stakes and, in case of willful or careless destruction, he shall be charged with the resulting expense and shall be responsible for any mistakes that may be caused by their unnecessary loss or disturbance. 4.7 The Engineer shall furnish such survey lines and grades as may be necessary for the proper control of the Work; but this shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for making careful and accurate measurements and for constructing the Work accurately to the lines furnished by the Engineer. The Contractor shall give the Engineer reasonable notice of his requirements for such survey lines and grade as the Contractor may require. 4.8 The Contractor shall furnish and place, as directed, all necessary guide boards and appurtenances and give such other incidental assistance at the Work site as may be required by the Engineer, for staking out the Work. The Contractor's working operations which interfere with the activities of the Engineer shall be temporarily suspended for such reasonable time as the Engineer may deem necessary. The Contractor shall carefully preserve the points furnished by the Engineer and shall receive no extra compensation for any materials or services furnished by the Contractor incidental to these operations of the Engineer.
