4.2.3    If Bidding or Negotiating has not commenced within three months after the Architect submits the proposed Contract Documents to the
Owner, any Project budget or fixed limit of Project Cost shall be adjusted in writing and agreed to by the parties to reflect any change in the general level of prices which may have occurred in the
industry between the date of submission of the Contract Documents to the Owner and the date on which proposals are sought.

ARTICLE 16
  
    ARCHITECT'S STATUS    
  


16.1    The Architect's services and obligations under this Agreement shall be provided in conformity with the standards of care and skill of
the architectural profession. Architect will maintain sufficient workforce of trained and skilled professional personnel to complete the services under this Agreement and shall at all times perform
services in a manner consistent with the Owner's stated objectives in order to facilitate the timely completion of the Work. The Architect shall not be responsible for the performance of the
construction contract(s), work or products, or any defects, deficiencies, or effects resulting from any contractor, subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, fabricator, consultant retained by the Owner,
or any other third party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Architect the responsibility for or the authority to control, direct, or supervise construction means or methods. 


16.2    The Architect's review of shop drawings, product data, samples, and on-site observation of the Work and the installation
of the furnishings is to determine if the Contractor's submittals and Work appear to be in conformance with the design concept set forth in the Construction Documents prepared by the Architect. It is
understood that the Architect's review shall not be considered to be complete in every detail or exhaustive. Such reviews shall also not relieve any contractor, subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier,
fabricator, vendor, consultant, or other third party from responsibility for any deficiencies which may exist or for any departures or deviations from the requirements of the Construction Documents or
for the responsibility to coordinate the work or portion of the work of one trade with another. The Architect's actioning of a specific item shall not constitute approval of an assembly of which the
item is a component, and the Architect's actioning of a Sample or Samples shall not
constitute an approval of that item as delivered and installed if not in conformance with such actioned Sample. 


16.3    The Architect's review of and recommendations for payment of contractor or vendor Applications for Payments shall be based on, and
limited to, the extent of the Architect's observations of construction and the installation of the interior furnishings and the representations made in the contractor's or vendor's Applications for
Payments. The issuance of a recommendation for payment is solely for the benefit of the Owner and shall mean that, based on such observations and such representations of the contractors or vendors, it
appears that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that the Work and furnishings also appears to the Architect to be in general conformance 


14





 




with the Construction Documents prepared by the Architect. The issuance of the Architect's recommendations for payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has made any examination to
ascertain how and for what purpose the contractors or vendors have used monies previously paid or that the Architect has audited the data submitted by the contractors or vendors. 



16.4    Because interior furnishings and construction costs are affected by unpredictable fluctuations in the costs of labor, materials, and
equipment, by suppliers', contractors', and vendors' differing methods of determining bid prices, by the competitiveness of the bidding, by market conditions, and by other factors beyond Architect's
control. Architect's estimates of probable project costs (interior furnishings and construction costs) are intended solely for informational purposes and Architect cannot guarantee that bids or
construction and installation costs will not vary from such estimates. 


16.5    It is understood that the construction and vendor contracts shall include provisions describing the Architect's role as stated in this
Agreement with respect to construction and installation of the furnishings and require the Contractors and any vendors working on the Project site to indemnify the Owner and Architect. 


16.6    The Architect's services are being provided solely for the benefit of the Owner and no contractor, subcontractor, supplier,
fabricator, manufacturer, occupant, vendor, consultant, or other third party shall have any claim against the Architect as a result of this Agreement or the performance or non-performance
of the Architect's services.

3.    COMPENSATION
& TERMS 


Fee Summary  


        Our agreement for this project will be with QAD Software, Inc. 


        For
the interior design services outlined in the original proposal under Section 2—Scope of Services and based on the attached Proposed Fee Model, we propose a lump sum fee
of $268,500.00. 


        We
have developed this fee based on the team members presented in the interview with the addition of Lauren Rottet and Vano Hantunians, the budget costs noted for each space, the
deliverables and meetings anticipated, and the assumed schedule, each attached as part of the Fee Model. 


        In
reviewing the Fee Model, it is important to remember that the tasks listed do not represent the complete Scope of Services proposed and that the hours identified include work not
specifically stated. The Fee Model calculates the cost of the Work based on three separate approaches, the fee above is a median of the three schemes. 


        This
fee will be invoiced monthly as a percent complete of the project and phase. 


        Please
note that our fee does not include mechanical, electrical, or structural engineering or any other consulting service. 


Reimbursables & Billing  


        We will be reimbursed for all expenditures made by us or any consultants we may engage for the project including, but not limited to: transportation, including
air travel ("Y" class fares for domestic travel and "C" class fares for transcontinental and international travel), lodging, and subsistence; document reproduction, computer plotting, photography;
long distance communications including cellular phone charges, shipping, postage, messenger, or courier service charges; off-hour expenses; any sales, usage, occupation, service, gross receipts, or
similar taxes directly attributable to the project; purchase of maps and similar documents; supplies and materials; and other similar expenses. If authorized by you, we will be reimbursed for any
renderings or scale models; professional photography, mock-ups or samples supplied by outside vendors; special engineering studies and reports; or the fees of any outside consultants retained by us
and approved by you. Our billings for such reimbursable expenses shall receive our customary 10% surcharge for handling exclusive of backup documentation. Backup documentation is available for an
additional surcharge of 5%. 


        We
will submit invoices monthly and payment shall be made in US currency within thirty (30) days of invoice date. Overdue payments shall bear interest compounded monthly at the annual
rate of 10%. In addition, we shall also have the right to suspend our services until payment in full including interest is received. In the event that the suspension remains in effect longer than
sixty (60) days, we may elect to terminate this Agreement and shall be entitled to payment for all services performed prior to the date of termination plus all expenses incurred as a result of
termination. 


        This
Agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice should the other party fail substantially to perform in accordance with its terms through no fault of the party
initiating the termination, in the event that the Project is permanently abandoned; or if the parties fail to agree on the terms of the final agreement. In the event of termination, DMJMRottet shall
be compensated for all services performed to termination date, together with any due Reimbursable Expenses. 


        Should
DMJMRottet not complete all Basic Services described in the Form of Agreement for any reason, you will hold DMJMRottet harmless for any and all aspects of the Project and for any
damages resulting from the services rendered.
