Re: Nashua Public Works Project: New Building
Amendment #2: Structural Revisions
Dear Ms. Fauteux,
At the request of the City of Nashua NH, we are pleased to submit this proposal for
additional work to revise the structural system for the new building. The system is
being revised due to unforeseen delivery issues related to steel joists that would
push out the dates for construction of the building. Thought the costs for steel
beams is higher than the costs of steel joists, the costs to extend the schedule to
secure delivery of joists was deemed unacceptable.
Scope of Work:
Hoyle and Tanner completed a short study for an alternative structural system for
the entire building. The information was then shared with Harvey Construction who
then completed an estimate of costs to change from steel joists to steel beams.
The Harvey estimate of additional costs to make this change along with the
schedule implications was discussed with City officials. The City decided that
though there were some additional costs to the steel, this was a benefit to the
project because of availability and schedule.
After the approval was given by the City, Hoyle & Tanner was formally approved to
revise the documents to a steel beam design. That work is underway.
Consultants:
HKT Architects will supervise the work of our structural engineering consultant,
Hoyle & Tanner.
Proposed Fee:
The fee for the scope of work listed above is an additional lump sum of $10,700
(ten-thousand seven hundred dollars). The fee includes all of the consultants that
have been named herein.
Schedule:
As time is of the essence, this work, with City approval, has already begun and is
currently scheduled to be completed as part of the construction document
submission.
