Re: Notice of Contract Scope Change
Notice of Contract Scope Change
This memo is to notify the Finance Committee that a professional services contract between the city and
Dennis Mires the Architect has been changed.
Background
In December 2015, the City entered into a professional services contract in the amount of $33,300.00 with
Dennis Mires to provide site selection and other architectural related services. The original scope of work
focused on identifying sites that could accommodate the Public Health & Community Services Division.
This contract was approved by the Finance Committee in November of 2015.
Due to the change in administration this project was unavoidable delayed.
Currently, the remaining balance on this contract is $19,700.
New Scope
The current thought process, which appears to be the most efficient approach, would be to keep the Public
Health & Community Services Division at their current location at 18 Mulberry Street, but to renovate the
building and make it more effective and efficient as a long term solution. To that end, this new scope will
address programs, access, envelope, and all major mechanical/electrical systems for the current building.
The products of the study will include:
e A program outline
e Schematic plans of each floor (outlining specification)
« Total project budget for renovation
The intent of this study is to clarify the programs in this building and the budget required to effect it.
This initiative can be completed over the next month and a half to two months using the available funds
remaining.
Thank you.
