I will examine the documents and information submitted by the Architect and promptly render responses to the Architect on issues requiring a decision by the City. 2.3 Provide access to and make all necessary provisions for the Architect to enter public and private property as required for the Architect to perform its services under this Agreement. 2.4 Be responsible for the cost of printing and binding of the RFPs. 2.5 Bear all costs incidental to this Article. ARTICLE 3 CONSTRUCTION COST 3.1 DEFINITION 3.1.1 The construction cost will be the total cost or estimated cost to the City of all elements of the Project designed or specified by the Architect. I 3.1.2 The construction cost will include at current market rates, including a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit, the cost of any equipment which has been designed, specified, selected or specially provided for by the Architect, except that used materials and equipment will be included as if purchased new for the Project. 3.1.3 Construction cost does not include the compensation of the Architect and the Architect's consultants, or other costs which are the responsibility of the City as provided in Article 2. 3.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST 3.2.1 Evaluations of the City's Project budget, the preliminary estimate of Construction Cost and detailed estimates of Construction Cost, if any, prepared by the Architect, represent the Architect's judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment, over the Contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive market and negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that negotiated prices will not vary from the City's Project budget or from any estimate of Construction Cost or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect. I 3.2.2 A fixed limit of construction cost for this Project will be established by the City's representative after consulting with the Architect. The Architect will be permitted to include contingencies for design, contract negotiation 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 proposals to adjust the construction cost to the fixed limit. The fixed limit of construction cost may be increased by the City. Wigintnn C01\1ract 9
