If the Project embraces substantial renovation and/or repairs, then the Owner will approve a total fee which shall be 115¢ of the basic fee shown above. The fee will be increased or decreased accordingly if the Construction Contract amount is increased or decreased. If an increase occurs to the Construction Contract as a direct result of the Professional's errors or omissions, the Owner may elect not to increase the fee.
Asbestos Abatement Contracts are figured on a type C fee percentage; however, in no instance will the fee be less than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). From time to time, the Owner will prepare and issue special Professional contracts for unique projects which depart from the above outlined percentages.
