Preconstruction Fee The Preconstruction Fee shall be payable to CM/GC on a cost reimbursement basis up to a maximum sum of $ , which shall cover constructability review, value engineering, cost estimating, development of GMP, and all other Preconstruction Phase Services, as described in Article 3. If CM/GC's costs for provision of Preconstruction Phase Services exceed the maximum Preconstruction Fee, CM/GC shall pay such additional cost without reimbursement. CM/GC shall not be entitled to any CM/GC Fee upon the Preconstruction Fee. Owner shall pay the Preconstruction Fee on a cost-reimbursement basis with each application for payment during the Preconstruction Phase. If the total actual Preconstruction Fee is less than the maximum Preconstruction Fee used for initial calculation of the GMP as provided above, the GMP shall be reduced by the difference; provided that Owner may direct instead that any unapplied portion of the maximum Preconstruction Fee be applied to Construction Phase Services, in which case the GMP shall not be reduced by the portion so applied. Except to the extent the parties may expressly agree to the contrary in the GMP Amendment, no Preconstruction Fee or other fee, compensation or reimbursement shall be payable to CM/GC with respect to Preconstruction Services performed after execution of the GMP Amendment.
