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 $40,060.00, of
which $29,360.00 is for additional scope of work of an Alternation of Terrain (‘AoT’”) state
permit. During the Schematic Design phase of the project it was discovered that an AoT permit
is necessary. Going into the project it was not originally contemplated, but as the design of the
project progressed, it became clear this state permit would be necessary. The balance of the
funds requested is going to making structural modifications.
Filing an AoT is a time sensitive proposition it takes approximately a month to put an application
together and the review and approval period taking approximately six months; therefore, to
maintain the 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 an
AoT permit the project cannot proceed.
THANK YOU.
