Title
Approval of Garrison Park Architectural Services
Body
SUMMARY: The base contract for the architectural services for Garrison Park did not include dividing the project up into two bids with two contracts. It is estimated that bidding the splash pad phase separately saved the City 10% of the total splash pad cost which is $34,000.
Lose & Associates have over extended their services with City and lost monies on their base contract through the design and bidding phase and have a zero balance left in their contract. City staff has negotiated fees for the construction administration phase of the project throughout completion of the grant at an hourly rate with a price not to exceed $17,000. This is outlined in the attached contract amendment.
The City Manager and the Director of Engineering recommend the approval of the attached contract amendment.
