approved a Consulting Services Agreement with Testing
Engineers, Inc., Martinez, California, for testing and
inspection services including continuous project

Seismic Safety Act of 1986:
B. The time required for testing and inspection is a
function of the general contractor's schedule, methods
and sequence of construction, which are all beyond the
control of the testing and inspection consultant. The

required to construct the building caused the testing and
inspection consultant to exceed the estimated hours
required to provide services. Consequently, it is
necessary to increase the hours and the payment limit.
