2.	According to the contract para 3.1.4, SAUDI ARAMCO Representative shall be permitted at all times to check the lines, elevations, reference marks, etc., set by the CONTRACTOR, who shall correct any errors in lines, elevations, reference marks, etc., disclosed by such check. Such check shall not be construed to be an approval of the CONTRACTOR’S work and shall not relieve or diminish in any way the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR for the accurate and satisfactory construction and completion of the entire Work.

Based on the above, all verification of survey work are a responsibility of IC and part of IC Scope of Work and thus any claims for survey verifications within contractor Scope of Work cannot be accepted.
