Common use of Site Reconnaissance Clause in Contracts

Site Reconnaissance. The Firm’s personnel will perform a site reconnaissance of the project area, or subject property, to document current project conditions. Adjacent properties will be observed from the project area and from public ROWs to visually identify and photograph areas with potential recognized environmental conditions as defined in the ASTM standard. The Firm will include a general discussion in the report of how field observations relate to potential contamination, if appropriate. The scope of work does not include activities such as collecting or analyzing soil, air, water, or other environmental samples and will not address issues such as radon, lead, or radioactivity. The Firm’s personnel will require access to the entire project area on the date of the site reconnaissance. Access to private lands, locked gates, or restricted areas will be arranged by the County. It is assumed that the County will assist with landowner access as needed, which could include providing landowner notifications or land access permission letters for the Firm’s staff to carry.
