SUBJECT: Purchase Order: 165142 — Nashua Transit Center Retrofit Fee Amendment Request
Dear Camille:
Attached please find a fee estimate to provide continued construction phase services for the Nashua Transit Center.
This includes resident engineering and construction administration services provided by GPI and architectural
construction support and inspection provided by Samyn D’Elia Architects. Our current contract, dated May 5, 2021,
provided construction phase services, including a full-time resident engineer, for a 17-week time-period which
anticipated construction to be completed and project close out by the end of 2021. The notice to proceed (NTP) for
construction was issued on July 19, 2021. While we have worked efficiently through this period, our current budget
will be fully expended in December and, as you are aware, construction will continue well into 2022. Therefore,
additional funds will be necessary to complete construction phase services through project completion.
The attached fee estimate is based on the current construction schedule provided by the contractor, D.L. King &
Associates, Inc. The schedule estimates exterior construction activities through December 15, 2021, and resuming
April 1, 2022 through May 31, 2022. It is expected that GPI close-out documentation will be performed in June of
2022. Work on the building is scheduled through February 25, 2022 at the earliest.
We estimate that the Resident Engineer will be working full-time through at least January 1, 2022, and part-time (20
hours/week) through March 11, 2022. In mid-March 2022, it is expected that field operations will resume, and the
Resident Engineer will be back on a full-time basis. We also estimate that construction management and
administration will be six hours per week (based on need) through the duration of the contract. Our fee estimate
also includes time for construction support from our architectural subconsultant, Samyn D’Elia Architects, as interior
work is also well beyond the original projected schedule.
The total additional fee requested to continue construction phase services through completion of construction is
estimated at $116,866.69. This will provide resident engineering, field inspection, and construction administration
through June 2022. Reimbursable expenses, project close-out and materials testing remain part of GPI’s original
project scope and do not have increased fees as part of this proposal. A breakdown of the fee estimate is attached.
Should you have any questions about this fee amendment request, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. |
look forward to discussing this request further with you.
Sincerely,
GREENMAN-PEDERSEN, INC.
