    The document delineates the fees and services associated with government contracts, specifically outlining which services fall under a 6 percent fee limitation. Included services encompass calculations for design submissions, cost estimates, designs, preparation of bid packages, and consulting related to specifications. Conversely, numerous services are explicitly excluded from this limitation, including pre-design programming, environmental investigations, traffic studies, and post-construction review services. The purpose of the document is to clarify the financial constraints on certain professional services in the context of federal and local Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and grants. By defining included and excluded services, the document aids government agencies and contractors in budget planning and compliance, ensuring transparency and clarity in procurement processes. This comprehensive classification reflects a structured approach to managing project costs and aligns with established regulations in government contracting.
