City of Hermosa Beach --- 10-10-00

PROJECT NO. CIP 00-630 PIER RENOVATION, PHASE III
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
FIRST AMENDMENT

 

Recommendation :

It is recommended that the City Council:

  1. Approve the attached First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and Purkiss · Rose – RSI for an increase in scope of services and contract amount of $79,345.00;
  2. Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said amendment, upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; and
  3. Authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to make adjustments to the scope of work as necessary, not to exceed $7,935.00.

 

Background :

On February 8, 2000, City Council awarded the design contract to Purkiss · Rose – RSI for $174,500.00 with a contingency allowance of $17,450.00 for possible changes. The original scope of this contract, per the Request for Proposal (RFP) and subsequent Professional Services Agreement approved by Council on February 8, 2000, entailed design of a two story building with an attached garage structure, pier plaza, and lifeguard building exterior facade. This two-story building was to have a women’s locker room on the first floor, a restroom facility on the second floor, and a 911 equipment room. The plaza design was to incorporate concepts delineated in the drawings attached to the RFP. Please see Attachment No. 1.

Through the design process, with numerous planning meetings with Staff, Los Angeles County Lifeguards, the Consultant, and the design subcommittee, the scope has changed to include the following additional requirements and/or changes in design:

  1. A women’s locker room building to be attached to the existing lifeguard building;
  2. A parking/garage structure with the plaza observation deck above;
  3. A totally redesigned plaza including the previously noted observation deck, multiple elevations, amphitheater seating, etc.;
  4. A new restroom building to replace existing restroom building just south of the pier;
  5. Two smaller building structures to be located on both sides of the pier entry which will house electrical and communications systems required for the plaza, plaza building, and project support buildings.

The preliminary design was presented on September 26, 2000, and approved by Council. With the expanded and revised design, additional design fees are required to complete the increased scope of services including architectural design, electrical engineering, plumbing, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering. Please see Attachment No. 2.

 

Analysis:

With a substantially larger and more complex scope, the design work has also increased in complexity. Extensive research, design, engineering, administration, and coordination are required, far beyond the agreed upon scope of services, to successfully complete this project. An increase of $79,345.00 in the design contract amount is in order.

Under the terms of the existing agreement between the City and Purkiss · Rose – RSI, the City has the option of ordering additional services without changing the agreement. However, this must be done by a written amendment approved by the City and the Consultant. Please see Attachment No. 3.

 

Fiscal Impact :

Sufficient funds are available in the project account; therefore, no appropriation is required at this time.
