The Architect shall have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in this Agreement unless otherwise modified by written instrument. 2.6.5 The Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and Architect in writing to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the Work completed and to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a man- ner indicating that the Work when completed will be in accor- dance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect shall not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of on-site observations as an architect, the Architect shall keep the Owner informed of the progress and quality of the Work, and shall endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work. (More extensive site representation may be agreed to as an Additional Service, as described in Paragraph 3.2.) 2.6.6 The Architect shall not have control over or charge of and shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the Contractor's responsibility under the Contract for Construction. The Architect shall not be responsible for the Contractor's schedules or failure to carry out the Work in accor- dance with the Contract Documents. The Architect shall not have control over or charge of acts or omissions of the Contrac- tor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any other persons performing portions of the Work. 2.6.7 The Architect shall at aH times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress. 2.6.8 Except as may otherwise be provided in the Contract Documents or when direct communications have been spe- cially authorized, the Owner and Contractor shall communicate through the Architect.

The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subse- quent tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Con- tract Documents correctable prior to completion and to spe- cific qualifications expressed by the Architect. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shaH further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certi- fied. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made exhaus- tive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, meth- ods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material sup- pliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum. 2.6.11 The Architect shall have authority to reject Work which does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable for implementa- tion of the intent of the Contract Documents, th~ Architect will have authority to require additional inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Docu- ments, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exer- cise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other per- sons performing portions of the Work. 2.6.12 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the con- struction of the Owner or of separate contractors, while allow- ing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not con- ducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and com- pleteness of other details such as dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractor, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor to the extent required by the Contract Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component. When professional certification of performance characteristics of materials, systems or equipment is required by the Contract Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such certification to establish that the materials, systems or equip- ment will meet the performance criteria required by the Con- tract Documents. 2.6.13 The Architect shall prepare Change Orders and Con- struction Change Directives, with supporting documentation and data if deemed necessary by the Architect as provided in Subparagraphs 3.1.1 and 3.3.3, for the Owner's approval and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents, and may authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adiustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time which are not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. 2.6.14 The Architect shall conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date of fmal completion, shall receive and forward to ,the Owner for the Owner's review and records written warranties and related documents required by the Contract Documents and assem- bled by the Contractor, and shall issue a final Certificate for Pay- ment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3 B141-1987 AlA DOCUMENT B141 .

In addition, a reasonable allow- ance for contingencies shall be included for market conditions at the time of bidding and for changes in the Work during construction. 5.1.3 Construction Cost does not include the compensation of the Architect and Architect's consultants, the costs of the land, rights-of-way, financing or other costs which are the respon- sibility of the Owner as provided in Article 4. 5.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST 5.2.1 Evaluations of the Owner's Project budget, preliminary estimates of Construction Cost and detailed estimates of Con- struction Cost, if any, prepared by the Architect, represent the Architect's best judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that nei- ther the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment, over the Contractor's methods of determining bid prices, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Owner's Project budget or from any estimate of Construction Cost or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Architect. 5.2.2 No fixed limit of Construction Cost shall be established as a condition of this Agreement by the furnishing, proposal or establis!J.ment of a Project budget, unless such fIXed limit has been agreed upon in writing and signed by the parties hereto. If such a fIXed limit has been established, the Architect shall be permitted to include contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation, to determine what materials, equipment, com- ponent systems and types of construction are to be included in the Contract Documents, to make reasonable adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the Contract Docu- ments alternate bids to adjust the Construction Cost to the fIXed limit. Fixed limits, if any, shall be increased in the amount of an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract for Construction. 5.2.3 If the Bidding or Negotiation Phase has not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the Construction Documents to the Owner, any Project budget or fIXed limit of Construction Cost shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the construction industry between the date of submission of the Construction Documents to the Owner and the date on which proposals are sought. 5.2.4 If a fixed limit of Construction Cost (adjusted as pro- vided in Subparagraph 5.2.3) is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the Owner shaH: .1 give written approval of an increase in such fIXed limit; .2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time; .3 if the Project is abandoned, terminate in accordance with Paragraph 8.3; or .4 cooperate in revising the Project scope and quality as required to reduce the Construction Cost. 5.2.5 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Clause 5.2.4.4, the Architect, without additional charge, shall modify the Con- tract Documents as necessary to comply with the fixed limit, if established as a condition of this Agreement. The modification of Contract Documents shall be the limit of the Architect's responsibility arising out of the establishment of a fixed limit. The Architect shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with this Agreement for all services performed whether or not the Construction Phase is commenced. ARTICLE 6 USE OF ARCHITECT'S DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS 6.1 The Drawings, Specifications and other documents pre- pared by the Architect for this Project are instruments of the Architect's service for use solely with respect to this Project and, unless otherwise provided, the Architect shall be deemed the author of these documents and shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including the copyright. The Owner shall be permitted to retain copies, including repro- ducible copies, of the Architect's Drawings, Specifications and other documents for information and reference in connection with the Owner's use and occupancy of the Project.

CA 94303 5) 493.45.1.::) Mr. Robert Connelly City of Gilroy 7351 Rosanna street Gilroy, CA 95020 Subject: Gilroy City Hall Addition Mechanical Unit Roof Wells & Storage Rooms CSS Job No. 91029-01 Dear Bob: Our base contract fee does not consider the enclosure of the area between Public Works and the City Administration Wings, or the area between the Planning and Finance Wings. These enclosed areas are to be storage areas at the ground floor and mechanical wells at the roof. Additionally, my discussion with Larry James today indicated the City's desire to connect the Planning and Finance Departments with an enclosed I-hour fire rated corridor with a door exiting to the west. The area to the east of the corridor would be a storage room. The new storage room will cover new or existing office windows in Planning and Finance. I have been assured each department is agreeable to the loss of the windows. We have estimated the additional construction cost for these two areas, a total of approximately 500 square feet to be $60,000.00. The need to provide a roof surface that will deaden mechanical unit sound transmission and a gable roof that is removable, similar to the other mechanical wells, contributes to the high cost per square foot for this additional work. We propose to provide additional AlE services for the above referenced work for a not-to-exceed cost of $7,500.00 to be billed at CSS' and consultant's hourly rates. The total cost breaks down as follows: CSS $2,250.00 Siegfried $4,050.00 practicon $ 800.00 Ackerman $ 400.00 $7,500.00 EHi\!iF: ~3. Uir:TURD, A.i,f\ .
