The document discusses the limitations on contract prices or fees for architect-engineer services, specifically focusing on the preparation of designs, plans, drawings, and specifications. It mentions that the statutory fee limitation for A-E services is set at six percent of the project's estimated construction cost. The document also outlines how this limitation applies to contract modifications, including work not initially included in the contract and redesign features. Additionally, it explains that the fee in an A-E contract is different from the fee in cost-reimbursement contracts, as it includes both cost and profit. The document provides insights into fee structures for engineering services, such as lump sum, unit price, cost-plus, incentive basis, and percentage of construction costs. It also gives examples of engineering fee percentages based on the complexity of the job and architect's fee. Furthermore, it breaks down engineering fees into categories like preliminary design services, final design services, construction and contract administration, and tender call services.
