Project No. 2007-002
Dear Mr. Weller,
. We understand that the decision has been made to bid the West District Precinct building project for a third time. That
decision, and its implications regarding modifcations to our documents, means that our agreement with the City needs to
be modifed again. Under our Agreement, these circumstances wil necessitate Additional Services from us and from other
members of our Design Team, for which weare entitled to additional compensation. (These are above and beyond the .
variety of Additional Services previously requested of us and previously approved by the City CounciL.)
As you requested during the most recent bidding (the second bidding), we assume. that your office wil perform several of
the Bidding Phase Services we would customariiy perfonI, in order to help reduce our Additional Fee for this, the third
bidding. Specifically, the following changes wil be made in the scope of our Bidding Phase Services:
1. Do not èonduct a Pre-Bid Conference or conduct it without a representative of our office in attendance.
2. Conduct the Bid Openig without a representative of our office in attendance.
3. Use Division of Archtecture personnel to perform the due dilgence services associated with the low bidder, to
prepare the due dilgence, and to issue a recommendation to the Cityfor award of the Contract.
4. Do not conduct a Pre-Award Conference or conduct it without a representative of our òffice in attendance.
The revised Construction Schedule, in combination with various directions we received at that recent ineeting, :necessitate
. additional modifications to our Agreement with the City for this project. The followihg paragraphs describe those.
changes. The spreadsheet at the endo.f this. Proposal shows the fees associated with these chahges. As you can see, each of
the individual items in the spreadsheet is quite modest. It is the wide range of services requested of us that results in the
substantial total.
DETAILS OF CHANGES:
1. Lengthen the Constrction Period: At your request, and consistent with the recommendations of your
Constrcton Manager and ths office, the Contractual Constrction Period wil be increased froni 12 to 14
months. This wil necessitate 2 additional months of Constrction Admistration Phase Serviees. Our monthly
rate for these additional months wil be the same as the monthy rate for each of the origial 12 months: $5,000.
Therefore, the Additional Fee associated with ths 2-month tie extension shall be $10,000. Any Constrction
Phase Services beyond that period shall constitute Additional Services.
2. Rebid the Project: Certåin Professional Servces. are required of the Design Team during the rebidding. These
include the Plang Meetig I attended at your office in April, plus fielding questions from bidders and issuing
Addenda, as needed. Certai of our Coilultants have also allowed time for that latter service, based on the types
of questions they have received in the prior bid dings and their experience on rebidding of other similar projects.
