[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 239956, member: 315"] There is absolutely no incentive to keep costs down when the architecture firm is charging 8-10% of total project cost. That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. There should be incentives to keep cost down not up. There really needs to be a law that prevents this shit on public building projects. There should be a flat rate for the designing/engineering and a flat rate for the project management portion. Then whatever bid is accepted for the actual construction phase (labor). There truly is not a low bid process for schools. The school board can't even tell you what's going into a 70 million dollar school. How in the hell is anybody supposed to vote for something like that. That would be like you or I going to the dealer and asking for a pickup. Dealer tells you it's 60K but you won't know what your getting exactly until it shows up and if you don't like it too bad so sad. [/QUOTE]
