The A/E will need to determine if any components of this project are eligible for a utility company or other energy grant/rebate and will be responsible for preparing and submitting the grant application if the project qualifies for the rebate. 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.
