So are Architects/General Contractor going to start back charging for RFI's?  I 
have had projects with 8 RFI's because of issues with the bid documents and the 
classic statement on the drawing, "Contractor shall not deviate without written 
approval."

Found something new in a FP spec that I think is worth sharing. Spec's are 
copyrighted by a nationally known FP consultant.

"Excessive assistance provided by the Architect/General Contractor to the 
Contractor, at the Contractor's request, shall be at cost to the Contractor, 
via back charge, ..." And it goes on to say that just because they charged for 
the assistance it doesn't "imply direction or approval".

It's odd that there is no "Excessive Interference" clause.
