If the Project embraces substantial renovation and/or
						repairs, then the Owner will approve a total fee which shall be 115¢ of
						the basic fee shown above. The fee will be increased or decreased accordingly
						if the Construction Contract amount is increased or decreased. If an increase
						occurs to the Construction Contract as a direct result of the Professional's
						errors or omissions, the Owner may elect not to increase the fee.
