March 3, 2004 <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Schenk <br />City Attorney <br />City of Paris <br />125 S.E. First Street <br />Paris, TX 75460 <br /> <br />HAR 0,4 <br /> <br />BRINKi£y SAR{;eNT ARCHITECTS <br /> <br />Re: Paris Police & Courts Building <br /> <br />Dear Larry: <br /> <br />We have requested a $56,650 add t on to our contract in our recent Amendment Number One to <br />the Professional Services Contract dated April 29, 2002. The original contract had estimates for <br />all of our Additional Service Consultants based upon our best understanding of the project <br />previous to commencement of the work. The Design Development Phase of the work is now <br />complete and all scopes of work have been set. <br /> <br />The $56,650 increase falls into these areas of service: <br /> <br /> A. Civil Engineering Fee has increased by $29,500 due to the need to replace all <br /> existing utility lines to building. The original scope assumed the work would <br /> involve grading & paving design. <br /> B. Structural Engineering - Service has been added to project at a fee of $14,700. <br /> The original contract assumed no structural services would be required. The <br /> current scope includes reframing openings in roof, reinfoming north wall & <br /> remedial work to existing building. <br /> C. Technology Consultant - This service was not included in original contract. <br /> The City has asked us to include all computer/telephone wiring as well as <br /> Backbone design within the scope of the final Construction Documents. This <br /> fee is $13,000. This will result in lower installation costs as well as having the <br /> general contractor responsible for coordination rather than City vendor. <br /> <br />When the project started an initial project contingency of $175,000 was set. Adjustments such as <br />these consultants were anticipated to be absorbed by the contingency as the project was defined. <br />Additional items which absorbed this contingency were asbestos abatement and I.T. cabling costs. <br />The overall project budget will not change as this additional service request is added to the project. <br /> <br />I have enclosed a copy of the most current Project Budget for your use. <br /> <br />[*lease contact me if you have any questions. <br />Si[cere,y, <br /> <br />cc: Karl Louis <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />20029.00 P3 <br /> <br /> <br />
