Designers. 1. All wording shall have the meaning as defined by the H&S Regulations 2003.
Designers. As noted above, designers normally embed cost, overhead and profit in their hourly rates. In an IPD agreement, the owner guarantees payment of direct costs (costs without profit, or with reduced profit) and reimbursable expenses. This is most easily done by agreeing on a multiplier on direct salary expense. For example, if a firm’s normal hourly rates assume a 3.0 multiplier, the parties might agree to a lower multiplier, say 2.5, for all direct cost xxxxxxxx. The difference between multipliers would be the “at risk” profit. Reimbursable costs would be paid at cost, including subconsultant costs. 29 When using this approach, the parties should recognize what benefits are included within the multiplier. In some firms, the multiplier includes anticipated bonuses and profit sharing. These may be inappropriate if you are trying to define costs without profit. Because many designers are salaried employees, hours incurred in excess of a normal work week may not have any significant cost and if charged to the project, could result in extra profit for the designer. This violates the concept of working at cost between distributions. But it is also not fair for the project to get worked hours at no cost. During negotiations, the team must decide if and how hours are incurred for salaried employees who are not paid for those hours should be charged to the project. In an IPD project, you want to reward efficiency and discourage inefficiency. Thus, you do not want to have profit being a function of the number of hours worked. Instead, the profit should be a fixed amount based, perhaps, on the hours estimated, but not on the hours actually incurred.
Designers. The Employer shall pay the agreed upon compensation to the Designer directly according to the following schedule: ⮚ ONE THIRD (1/3) upon the signing of the Cover Sheet by the Employee; ⮚ ONE THIRD (1/3) on the date that drawings, sketches, and/or specifications are accepted by the Employer, sufficient to begin execution of the design; ⮚ ONE THIRD (1/3) upon the specified termination date, but in no event later than the Press Opening Night.
Designers. 6. All the user-based licenses should be either perpetual or long-term (with a minimum of twenty-five (25 years)) in nature. OEM will be responsible for license compliance in all respects during implementation.
