For engineering inspection projects, the consultant is usually responsible for the following:  furnishing the engineering field supervision of maintenance operations requiring professional on-site inspection;  checking materials invoices for payment; and/or  preparing the payment estimate for contract maintenance, including any necessary changes-in-plans, and providing a final estimate of the contract maintenance cost. Form BLR 05520 may be used for maintenance preliminary engineering and/or engineering inspection agreements. The agreement requires the signature and seal of the licensed professional engineer, or structural engineer as applicable, and the signature and title of the local official. Attach the formal agreement to the maintenance documents submitted to the district for approval showing the estimated cost of maintenance and the operations requiring engineering inspection. If federal funds will be requested to pay for engineering services provided by the LPA, CBLRS approval is required.
