CALCULATION

 CALCULATING
THE
BASIC
SERVICE
FEE
The
 Schedule
 of
 Recommended
 Minimum
 Percentage
 Fees
 for
 Basic
 Services
 included
 as
 3.3
 below
defines
 the
 recommended
 minimum
 fee
 for
 basic
 services
 for
 a
 particular
 Project
 Category
 and
Construction
Cost.
When
the
total
cost
of
the
work
is
greater
than
the
lower
division
but
less
than
the
next
division
(e.g.,
the
 total
 cost
 of
 work
 is
 $2,300,000
 which
 is
 greater
 than
 $1,200,000
 but
 less
 than
 $5,000,000,
 the
calculation
on
the
first
amount
of
the
cost
be
governed
by
the
percentage
for
the
lower
division
and
the
remaining
amount
by
the
percentage
for
the
higher
division.
For
example:
On
a
project
of
$2,300,000
in
Category
5,
the
first
$1,200,000
would
be
at
10.43%;
the
remaining
$1,100,000
at
10.15%.

The

expenses
and
a

as
part
of
the
project
soft
cost
budget.
