SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS TO BE FURNISHED BY THE ARCHITECT WHEN AUTHORIZED. A. Schematic Design Phase Pursuant to conferences with the State, designs shall be prepared by the Architect to encompass the general program of the project. These designs shall consist of small scale drawings, elevations, sections and outline specifications. All specifications shall be prepared in accordance with the CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) format. At this time the Architect shall make sufficiently accurate estimates to determine the feasibility of constructing the project within the funds available. At the beginning of the schematic design phase, the Architect shall engage his consultants as set forth in Section D of Article II. The Architect shall submit for review and approval the number of sets of drawings, specifications and detailed cost estimates as indicated in Paragraph 6 of this contract. While preparing such drawings, specifications and detailed cost estimates, the Architect shall investigate any factors that may conflict with the use of the site as proposed, such as neighboring building lines, zoning regulations, sanitary codes, health and fire laws, local ordinances, etc., and shall report his findings thereon to the State when submitting schematic design phase drawings, outline specifications and detailed cost estimates. If the estimate agreed to by the State and Architect exceeds the total construction budget noted in Paragraph 4 of this contract, or if the State and Architect cannot agree upon an estimate of the probable construction cost and the probable cost of construction as determined by the State exceeds both the Architect's estimate and the total construction budget noted in Paragraph 4 of this contract, then the Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the State for adjustments to the documents in regards to the project’s scope, quality, or budget. At that time, the State shall have the right to require the Architect to modify the documents as the State deems necessary to bring the cost within the amount of the total construction budget noted in Paragraph 4 of this contract. The revisions shall be made without additional compensation to the Architect.
