For a house addition project, the architect's fee is calculated based on 10% of the total construction cost. The contract administration part will be 20% of the total design service fee. 

3 responsive bid has been received. 

Contractor 1
Total cost: $180,000

Contractor 2
Total cost: $177,000

Contractor 3
Total cost: $173,000

After bidding has been completed, the owner chose contractor 2 and signed the contract. But right after the contract has been signed, the owner run into a major financial issue and decide to not move forward with the project any further. No construction was done. In this situation how much should the architect charge?

  Is the question said the CCA phase will be decided based on the cost of the work after the bidding stage. Based on the owner's budget for the cost of the work the Arch fee will be calculated ( B 101 # 1.1.13)

  There is no section 1.1.13 in the B101.  Please clarify

  This is a simple math question: 177,000x10%x80%= 14,160
