Evaluations of the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work, and the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work, prepared by the Architect, represent the Architect’s judgment as a design professional. It is recognized, however, that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials, or equipment; the Contractor’s methods of determining bid prices; or competitive bidding, market, or negotiating conditions.

The Architect’s estimate of the Cost of the Work shall be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques. If the Owner requires a detailed estimate of the Cost of the Work, the Architect shall provide such an estimate, if identified as the Architect’s responsibility in Section 4.1.1, as a Supplemental Service. § 6.4 If, through no fault of the Architect, the Procurement Phase has not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the Construction Documents to the Owner, the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the applicable construction market. § 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 Work, the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner to adjust the Project’s size, quality, or budget for the Cost of the Work, and the Owner shall cooperate with the Architect in making such adjustments. § 6.6 If the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the Owner shall .1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work; .2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time; .3 terminate in accordance with Section 9.5; .4 in consultation with the Architect, revise the Project program, scope, or quality as required to reduce the Cost of the Work; or, .5 implement any other mutually acceptable alternative. § 6.7 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 6.6.4, the Architect shall modify the Construction Documents as necessary to comply with the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work at the conclusion of the Construction Documents Phase Services, or the budget as adjusted under Section 6.6.1.
