				General notes:
(1) Rates for building types
				not listed in the building type group schedule should be negotiated from the
				rates indicated for buildings of similar design complexity. In instances where
				the owner of user has no similar facility and is not able to offer any guidance
				or expertise to the building to be constructed, the architect rate shall be
				negotiated with the architect rate schedule chart, appendix A, only as a
				reference, whenever applicable.
(2)
				When a building or project includes several types of uses, the schedule rates
				apply to such types individually and negotiation is appropriate.
(3) Alterations to buildings may involve many
				unforeseeable conditions that may not easily be included in normal basic
				services. An alteration is defined as any change, architectural, structural,
				mechanical, or electrical, made to an existing building, and includes portions
				of buildings altered as a result of a new wing extension of such building,
				excluding historical restorations. Negotiation of the architect's rate for
				alterations in all categories is appropriate. Consideration of whether there
				are "trade-offs" in the scope of services should be taken.
(4) Historical renovation projects as a
				general rule require services substantially in excess of those cited as basic
				services. These services can include investigative analysis of existing
				systems, demolition planning and coordination, historical data collection and
				other coordination. Other instances may not address serious modification of
				structural systems, finishes, etc. Negotiation of the architect rates is
				appropriate for all categories of building types whenever the primary
				architectural services are for historic building renovation.
(5) Where multi-contract of fast-track
				construction contracts are deemed to be in the best interest of the state and
				are required in writing by the state, negotiation of the fee is appropriate.
				Multi-contract or fast-track projects as a general rule require higher levels
				of coordination, additional personnel, increased levels of construction
				observation, and accelerated time schedules, all of which may increase the
				costs of architectural activities.
(6) On projects not requiring full basic
				services (such as fixtures, equipment, furnishings, interior displays,
				memorials, reroofing, etc.), when not a part of an overall building, the
				architect rate shall be negotiated on a cost-based compensation basis by
				individual project.
(7) For
				projects whose major design elements are repetitive, the architect rates in all
				categories may be reduced to reflect the repetitive nature of the
				project.
(8) Residence," as used in
				building type group D, is defined as a development-type residence, namely, a
				single- or two-family house.
(9)
				Fees for projects under $150,000 and over $10,000,000 shall be negotiated
				individually on a cost-based compensation basis; this rate schedule shall not
				apply.
