Section 661.APPENDIX C Procedures
for Determination of Design Allowance
1. General
This Appendix
provides the method which will be used to determine the allowance for
facilities design. The grant agreement will include an estimate of the
allowance. The State share of the allowance is determined by applying the
applicable grant percentage to the allowance.
2. Definitions
(a) Initial Allowable Building Cost – the allowable cost of the
following:
(1) the initial award amount of all prime subagreements for
building the project.
(2) the initial amounts approved for force account work performed
in lieu of awarding a subagreement for building the project.
(b) Estimated Design Allowance – the appropriate percentage from
the table set forth in Section 4 multiplied by the estimated initial allowable
building cost.
(c) Final Design Allowance – the appropriate percentage from the
table set forth in Section 4 multiplied by the initial allowable building cost.
3. Procedures
(a) The final design allowance will be determined one time only
for the project, based upon the initial allowable building cost, and will not
be adjusted for subsequent cost increases or decreases. The allowance is not
intended to reimburse the grantee for costs actually incurred for project
design. Rather, the allowance is intended to assist in defraying those costs.
Under this procedure, questions of equity will not be appropriate.
(b) The allowance does not include architect or engineering
services provided during the building of the project, e.g., reviewing bids,
checking shop drawings, reviewing change orders, and on site inspections.
These costs are allowable subject to the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 661.
(c) The grantee may request payment of 50 percent of the State
share of the estimated design allowance immediately after grant award. Final
payment of the State share of the allowance may be requested in the first
payment after the grantee has awarded all prime subagreements for building the
project and received Agency approval for all force account work. The final
payment of the allowance will be the State share of the final design allowance
less any previous payment of the allowance based upon the estimated initial
building cost.

Note: The allowance does not
reimburse for costs incurred. Accordingly, the allowance Tables shall not be
used to determine the compensation for design services. The compensation for
design services should be based upon the nature, scope and complexity of the
services required by the community.
