donated to,or otherwise furnished by,the Owner.The Cost of the Work does not include the compensation of the
<br /> Architect;the costs of the land,rights-of-way,financing,or contingencies for changes in the Work;or other costs
<br /> that are the responsibility of the Owner.
<br /> §6.2 The Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work is provided in Initial Information,and shall be adjusted
<br /> throughout the Project as required under Sections 5.2,6.4 and 6.5.Evaluations of the Owner's budget for the Cost of
<br /> the Work,and the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work
<br /> prepared by the Architect,represent the Architect's judgment as a design professional.It is recognized,however,
<br /> that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor,materials or equipment;the Contractor's
<br /> methods of determining bid prices;or competitive bidding,market or negotiating conditions.Accordingly,the
<br /> Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owner's
<br /> budget for the Cost of the Work,or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work,or evaluation,prepared or agreed to
<br /> by the Architect.
<br /> §6.3 In preparing estimates of the Cost of Work,the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for design,
<br /> bidding and price escalation;to determine what materials,equipment,component systems and types of construction
<br /> are to be included in the Contract Documents;to recommend reasonable adjustments in the program and scope of
<br /> the Project;and to include design alternates as may be necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of the Work to meet
<br /> the Owner's budget.The Architect's estimate of the Cost of the Work shall be based on current area,volume or
<br /> similar conceptual estimating techniques.If the Owner requires a detailed estimate of the Cost of the Work,the
<br /> Architect shall provide such an estimate,if identified as the Architect's responsibility in Section 4.1,as a
<br /> Supplemental Service.
<br /> §6.4 If,through no fault of the Architect,construction procurement activities have not commenced within 90 days
<br /> after the Architect submits the Construction Documents to the Owner the Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work
<br /> shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the applicable construction market.
<br /> §6.5 If at any time the Architect's estimate of the Cost of the Work exceeds the Owner's budget for the Cost of the
<br /> Work,the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner to adjust the Project's size,quality or
<br /> budget for the Cost of the Work,and the Owner shall cooperate with the Architect in making such adjustments.
<br /> §6.6 If the Owner's current budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase
<br /> Services is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal,the Owner shall
<br /> .1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work;
<br /> .2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;
<br /> .3 terminate in accordance with Section 9.5;
<br /> .4 in consultation with the Architect,revise the Project program,scope,or quality as required to reduce
<br /> the Cost of the Work;or
<br /> .5 implement any other mutually acceptable alternative.
<br /> §6.7 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 6.6.4,the Architect shall modify the Construction Documents as
<br /> necessary to comply with the Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction
<br /> Documents Phase Services,or the budget as adjusted under Section 6.6.1.If the Owner requires the Architect to
<br /> modify the Construction Documents because the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal exceeds the Owner's
<br /> budget for the Cost of the Work due to market conditions the Architect could not reasonably anticipate,the Owner
<br /> shall compensate the Architect for the modifications as an Additional Service pursuant to Section 11.3;otherwise
<br /> the Architect's services shall be without additional compensation.In any event,the Architect's modification of the
<br /> Construction Documents shall be the limit of the Architect's responsibility under this Article 6.
