FULL DESIGN SERVICES. OEM must provide, if offering panel systems furniture or architectural walls, through their Authorized Dealer network, to all Purchasing Entities, design, reconfiguration, and layout services at a contracted hourly rate for each State or authorized entity. The contracted hourly rate for design services shall be negotiated during the Participating Addendum process. The OEM Authorized Dealer working on projects that require such services will provide a detailed description of all services being provided and costs associated with them.

Design Service Fees may only be applied to designing panel systems furniture and architectural walls. Design Services Fees may not be applied to seating, standalone file cabinets, standalone desks, tables, or metal storage and wooden case goods. A Dealer may request an exception, directly to the purchasing entity, to the 3% cap or request that Design Fees be allowed for other furniture product categories for one or more of the following reasons. The request must be approved by the purchasing entity and must be included in the quote and, after approval, be included in the purchase order.
