The Engineer will be permitted to include contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation, to determine what materials, equipment, and types of construction are to be included in the construction contract documents, to make reasonable adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the construction contract documents alternate bids to adjust the construction cost to the fixed limit. The fixed limit of construction cost may be increased by the City. Because the Engineer does not control the cost of labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by others, methods of determining prices, or competitive bidding or market conditions, any opinions rendered as to costs, including but not limited to opinions as to the costs of construction and materials, shall be made on the basis of its experience and represent its judgment as an experience and qualified professional, familiar with Kimley Horn — Thorpe Lane Project 12
