IRC Courthouse - Addendum to Architect's Contract Increased <br />Fees <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/14/92: <br />DATE: JANUARY 14, 1992 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER . <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE PROJECT <br />ADDENDUM TO ARCHITECT,,S CONTRACT - INCREASED FEES <br />BACKGROUND: <br />At the regular meeting on September 24, 1991, the Board of County <br />Commissioners approved expansion of the proposed courthouse, from <br />approximately 103,487 square feet to 118,577 square feet. This was <br />approved based on a recommendation from the Courthouse Committee and <br />staff. <br />With expansion of the scope of work, the architect, Pierce, Goodwin, <br />Alexander, and Linville were entitled to increased fees based on the <br />contract. Staff and our Construction Manager met with the architect <br />and negotiated a increase of $90,000 dollars. The contract is <br />amended to be total lump sum rather than a percentage of the <br />construction. Everything is included in this cost. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The new total cost is increased from $903,465 to $993,465 or a net <br />increase of 9.96%. This is compared to a increase of 14.58% in size <br />of project. Along with this increased size of the building is the <br />additional work involved in cost of printing, interior design, and <br />program work. <br />The project budget was amended at the time the size of the building <br />was increased, and the $90,000 increase is well within that budget. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends the contract amendment be approved and requests <br />permission for the Chairman to execute the appropriate documents. <br />
