affordable Architect recommendation/questions

Hey Everyone, recently purchased a 2 family townhouse in brooklyn and are looking for some affordable achitect recommendations.  For the  most part we have decided on the floor plan we want to go with. Since the project will be pretty much a gut renovation all of the contractors we have seen thus far has recommend we hire an architect.  The house is currently laid out where the basement (already updated) and 1st floor are one apartment and the top floor is a 2nd apartment.  We are looking to make the top 2 floors an owners duplex with a basement rental. Can we just have an architect provide a layout?  or do we need to change the COO? I’m confused as to what we HAVE to change and what is not mandatory at this time. We went to get an estimate from Phillip Toscano Architects which was 10k for filing the all the permits, providing a layout plan and changing the COO.  Does this sound right?   Any comments or suggestions would be much appreicated. Thanks, Jason
