The scope of work provides for upgrades to the Building L Phase 1 exterior, including but not limited to, tuckpointing, expansion joints, metal coping caps, sealants at windows, and repairing and replacing cracked brick, mortar joints, steel lintels and shelf angles. The A/E is encouraged to include independent cost estimators on their teams to verify estimates are in line with current market conditions to avoid project bids that exceed the available funding for the project. A/E estimates should be updated and verified at each stage of the project in accordance with the Design and Construction Manual. Designers are reminded that their Professional Services Agreements make them responsible for providing a design that is within budget, and they can be held responsible for redesign of the project should bids received exceed project funding.
