RE: Approval of HKT Contract Amendment for AoT Design Services &
Structural Design Modifications
The enclosed documents requesting an increase in the HKT design contract by $37,000.00 for
miscellaneous costs and for some unforeseen additional work that was not part of the original
scope of work, but necessary in order to complete the design and keep the project schedule on
track.
As the design team moves into their final phase of their design contract a reconciliation occurred,
which showed that additional funds were expended on some matter due to the unforeseen
issues/conditions. For instance, the building was shifted to create a better buffer. Another
example is a request by the state permitting agency to redo a drainage design. To maintain the
overall project timeline it was recommended to use funds currently set aside in the contract for
“construction administration” phase and backfill once the amendment is approved. Without some
of these design changes such as making the changes at the state agencies request the project
cannot proceed.
THANK YOU.
