Quarry Lake Final Design, Specifications and Construction Services(A)
_
Action Sought
The City Council is asked to approve an amendment to the contract with WSB &
Associates, Inc. for the final design, specifications and construction services for
Quarry Lake Park.
Background
On September 2, 2014, the City Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement
with WSB & Associates, Inc. for the preparation of the final design, specifications,
and bidding documents as well as the services including the bidding procedures and
construction administration for the development of Quarry Lake Park in the amount
not to exceed $212,700.00.
As part of the work included in their scope of the agreement WSB & Associates,
Inc. included a sub-consultant for the architectural services. Based on past working
history with their sub-consultant the City has asked WSB & Associates, Inc. to seek
an alternate sub-consultant to complete the architectural services. WSB &
Associates, Inc. has presented a contract amendment to staff for an alternate
sub-contractor.
The contract amendment increases the contract amount to $253,450. The increase of
$40,750 is attributed to three items; 1) The original proposal from WSB included
the architectural services for the large building only. The new proposal sought
includes architectural services for both the large and small buildings planned within
the park. 2) The original proposal estimated the cost of the large building at
$1,000,000 and preliminary discussion indicate the cost could be higher. 3)the
original sub-consultant has expended $8,000 on preliminary services.
Recommendation
The recommendation is to approve a contract amendment with WSB & Associates,
Inc. up to $253,450 for the final design, specifications and construction services for
Quarry Lake Park.
Budget Impact

and the amount allocated for Quarry Lake Park construction.

Requested Action
