Opinions of Probable Cost. Opinions, if any, of probable cost, construction cost, financial evaluations, feasibility studies, economic analyses of alternate solutions and utilitarian considerations of operations and maintenance costs, collectively referred to as “Cost Estimates,” provided for are made or to be made on the basis of the Consultant's experience and qualifications and represent the Consultant's best judgment as an experienced and qualified professional design firm. The parties acknowledge, however, that the Consultant does not have control over the cost of labor, material, equipment or services furnished by others or over market conditions or contractor's methods of determining their prices, and any evaluation of any facility to be constructed or acquired, or work to be performed must, of necessity, be viewed as simply preliminary. Accordingly, the Consultant and Client agree that the proposals, bids or actual costs may vary from opinions, evaluations or studies submitted by the Consultant and that Consultant assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of opinions of Cost Estimates and Client expressly waives any claims related to the accuracy of opinions of Cost Estimates. If Client wishes greater assurance as to Cost Estimates, Client shall employ an independent cost estimator as part of its Project responsibilities.
