Proposal for Façade Consulting The Gateway Center 228 Churton St. Hillsborough, NC 27278 BECS #20250551 August 27, 2025 BECS is now a Lerch Bates Company Firm License Number: P-2493 WeAreBECS.com · LerchBates.com • Our fee does not include shortlisting or other interviews with contractors, “Best and Final” negotiations, rebidding due to financial restrictions, value engineering, or additional bidding due to a lack of bid participation. These and any other services not explicitly outlined above will be performed at Time and Expense if requested. TASK 3B – PERMITTING ASSISTANCE • BECS will provide the permit support services listed below to assist the client in obtaining a building permit for this project. BECS does not include initiating or managing the Permit application process, interacting directly with Permit officials, expediting permits, or paying for or obtaining Building Permits. • BECS will convert our Bid Drawings into Permit Drawings and deliver them to you signed and sealed in the format required by the local Permitting Authority, ready for your use to apply for a Building Permit. BECS’s Permit Drawings will consist of our Bid Drawings plus any significant changes made during Bidding that would affect the Permit review. • BECS will fill out certain portions of the Permit application forms you provide to us on your behalf, where they are directly applicable and relevant to the Permit Drawings BECS produced. Portions of forms not directly related to our services will not be our responsibility. While BECS’s Permit Drawings will be compliant with our professional interpretation of Building Code requirements, from time to time, the Permitting Authority will have questions on design intent, requests for clarifications, or directions on drawing format or administrative requirements that would require BECS response or revisions to the Permit Drawings. BECS will provide you with our responses to any such comments. Responses will be either written statements on BECS letterhead or reissued Drawings with the revisions “clouded,” as necessary to address the comments. These revisions will be completed on a time and expense basis and billed at our current hourly rates. • This will complete BECS’s Permitting services for the project. TASK 4 – QUALITY ASSURANCE SERVICES Pre-Construction Phase • We will assist the Contractor and Client with preparing AIA A104 Format Contract Documents as reviewed and approved during Design Services by the Client(s) attorney. BECS will finalize and assemble the complete contract based on the decisions made by the Client on bids received in Task 3. We will deliver the completed document to the selected Contractor for signature. Following the Contractor's signature, BECS will deliver the contract to the Client for signature. These functions will be performed electronically unless directed otherwise by the Client. • Once the Client and Contractor have executed an agreement and are under contract, BECS will conduct a virtual pre - construction conference. The Client, Client’s representatives, property manager, building engineer, contractor, subcontractors, code officials (as needed), BECS, and others (collectively the Project Team) will attend. Construction Phase • Review of Contractor material and administrative submittals. Approve/disapprove submittals and initiate field -installed mock-up samples for Client review. During this phase, the Contractor will install samples of the approved products in the field for Client review, selection, and approval. Detailed work will not commence until submittals and mock -ups are approved. • The Contractor will request payment for work completed every 30 days for the project duration. Retainage will be withheld until all work is reviewed, accepted, and agreed to complete by the project team. BECS will review Contractor pay requisitions, the release of lien documents, change orders, and close-out documents before submitting them to the Client for processing. In conjunction with the Client, we will approve/disapprove these documents. • Provide clarification of technical or contract issues. • Conduct/Attend periodic progress meetings with the project team to review past Work, resolve project -related issues, review the Contractor's payment applications, and discuss future Work.
