Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 661 - GENERAL CONDITIONS OF GRANTS FOR THE FINANCING AND CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES › Subpart G - REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO PAYMENT OF GRANTS › Appendix C - Procedures for Determination of Design Allowance

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
1. General
This Appendix provides the method which will be
				  used to determine the allowance for facilities design. The grant agreement will
				  include an estimate of the allowance. The State share of the allowance is
				  determined by applying the applicable grant percentage to the allowance.
2. Definitions
(a) Initial Allowable Building Cost - the
				  allowable cost of the following:
(1) the initial award amount of all prime
				  subagreements for building the project.
(2) the initial amounts approved for force account
				  work performed in lieu of awarding a subagreement for building the
				  project.
(b) Estimated Design Allowance - the appropriate
				  percentage from the table set forth in Section 4 multiplied by the estimated
				  initial allowable building cost.
(c) Final Design Allowance - the appropriate
				  percentage from the table set forth in Section 4 multiplied by the initial
				  allowable building cost.
3. Procedures
(a) The final design allowance will be determined
				  one time only for the project, based upon the initial allowable building cost,
				  and will not be adjusted for subsequent cost increases or decreases. The
				  allowance is not intended to reimburse the grantee for costs actually incurred
				  for project design. Rather, the allowance is intended to assist in defraying
				  those costs. Under this procedure, questions of equity will not be
				  appropriate.
(b) The allowance does not include architect or
				  engineering services provided during the building of the project, e.g.,
				  reviewing bids, checking shop drawings, reviewing change orders, and on site
				  inspections. These costs are allowable subject to the requirements of 35 Ill.
				  Adm. Code 661.
(c) The grantee may request payment of 50 percent
				  of the State share of the estimated design allowance immediately after grant
				  award. Final payment of the State share of the allowance may be requested in
				  the first payment after the gratnee has awarded all prime subagreements for
				  building the project and received Agency approval for all force account work.
				  The final payment of the allowance will be the State share of the final design
				  allowance less any previous payment of the allowance based upon the estimated
				  initial building cost.

Note: The allowance does not reimburse for costs incurred.
				  Accordingly, the allowance Tables shall not be used to determine the
				  compensation for design services. The compensation for design services should
				  be based upon the nature, scope and complexity of the services required by the
				  community.
