BOOK 64 PaUc ` ,99 The Original Contract between the County and Barton-Aschman, executed September 25, 1984, provided for basic compensation in the amount of $119,000 for the work. As of June 5, 1986, compensation of $95,089.60 has been paid by the County, leaving a balance of $23,910.40 under the original contract. At this time, the Consultant is requesting final payment of the $23,910.40 as basic compensation under the original contract and $23,857.14. for additional services, resulting in total compensation of $47,767.54. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Staff has negotiated the $23,857.14 compensation for additional services from the Consultant's original request of $28,075.60 and has no objection to payment for the additional services. At the present time, the Planning and Public Works Division is working with the Florida Department of Community Affairs to seek approval of the Barrier Island Study as required by the Hutchinson/Orchid Island Resources Manage- ment Plan. Until the DCA approves the plan, staff does not recommend releasing the 10% retainage on the project, which amounts to $11,900. RECOM+ MATION AND FUNDING Staff recommends approving additional compensation in the amount of $23,857.14 (invoice 35707 - Barton-Aschman Assoc.) and payment at this time of invoice 34089 in the amount of $12,010.50 for a total of $35,867.64. This action will result in the County holding back 10% of the original contract amount (retainage of $11,900) until the Department of Community Affairs approves the Barrier Island Study. Funding to be from Account # 102-110-515-033.19 Director Davis explained that there were a number of modifications to the impact fee districts after meeting with all the municipalities and going through the program and making it fit their needs, etc. He believed staff had informed the Board additional services would be required. Vice Chairman Lyons felt if it hadn't been for the work done by staff and the consultant, we never would have had the unanim- ity we have with the municipalities on this thing. Commissioner Wodtke agreed, but felt it is kind of tough to get a $24,000 bill after the fact; he realized staff has negotiated this with them, but would like to have it broken down and documented. He did not know if their contract says getting authorization is required before rendering these additional services. Director Davis reported that 18 meetings were specified in the original contract, and he believed as we got to that point staff verbally communicated to the Board that the six additional meetings would be over and above the specified services. 22
