ARTICLE 1 BASIC SERVICES OF THE ARCHITECT/ENGINEER

THE SERVICES

The Architect/Engineer’s services shall be provided in conjunction with the services of the Construction Manager/General Contractor, hereinafter referred to as “Construction Manager” or CM, as set forth in the Contract between the State and Construction Manager, hereinafter referred to as the Construction Manager Contract. The Architect/Engineer’s services shall consist of design phases hereinafter set forth and include normal architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering services; landscaping if any; space planning/interior layout; and any other services included in this Agreement as delineated in the proposal letter dated , submitted by the Architect/Engineer, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference as Exhibit A. Numerous exhibits developed over a period of time are also attached to and made a part of this Agreement, some of which may be in conflict with other exhibits or portions of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict in any of these, the greater service shall be included in the professional services provided and the contract sum without additional compensation to be superseded by applicable amendment sum or supplement.

In the performance of the professional services, the Architect/Engineer acknowledges that time is critical for Project delivery and that portions of the work shall have their design completed as separate Bid Packages and ready for construction before other portions of the work are fully designed. It is further recognized that this accelerated approach to construction utilizing the services of an Architect/Engineer and a Construction Manager/General Contractor is a unique concept and that its feasibility requires maximum cooperation between all parties. It is also recognized that the services to be rendered by the Construction Manager and the interrelationships and coordinative aspects thereof are not traditional. The Architect/Engineer has, however, reviewed the Construction Manager Contract and accepts the terms thereof as expressing a workable concept. In furtherance thereof, in the event there appears to be a duplication, overlap, or conflict of responsibility or duties between the Architect/Engineer and the Construction Manager, or an absence of designation, the question shall be submitted to the Principal Representative for determination. The Architect/Engineer shall abide by the decision of the Principal Representative provided it does not require the performance of services beyond what was reasonably contemplated and accepted by the Architect/Engineer as its responsibility.

The Architect/Engineer further acknowledges that the Fixed Limit of Construction Cost recited above as the Principal Representative’s expenditure limit is intended to cover the entire cost of the Project and is sufficient therefore and has been fully appropriated. The Architect/Engineer therefore agrees to cooperate fully with the Principal Representative in the design and construction aspects to keep within these limitations.

The number of Bid Packages shall be established at . Should the Principal Representative request additional or fewer Bid Packages than the established number, the cost involved in development of additional or the deletion of proposed bid packs shall be reflected in an Amendment to the Agreement for Additional Services.
