Agenda Item 27.

Title
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT #2 TO THE ARCHITECT’S CONTRACT FOR THE BOOKER HIGH SCHOOL VPA THEATER RENOVATIONS PROJECT

Description
This Amendment #2 adds design fees necessary for Schenkel Shultz Architecture to complete the additional construction administration services beyond the originally established construction completion date, as approved by the Board, to the Booker High School Visual Performing Arts (VPA) Theater.

Gap Analysis
A CO is necessary on this difficult project to maintain transparency and prevent misunderstandings and conflicts and serves as a formal agreement with all parties involved to ensure the project success, despite complexities and difficulties.

Previous Outcomes 
This project is extremely complex, intricate, and unpredictable, making it difficult to plan and execute. In addition, the project began construction at a time when certain construction materials such as concrete and masonry were becoming increasingly scarce.

Expected Outcomes 
As a result, unexpected issues impacted the project scope, timeline and budget, and an Amendment is needed to address these changes. Staff negotiated with the AE to ensure only a portion of the additional expenses are approved. 

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 4 - Every School Equipped

Priority 2 - Create High Quality Infrastructure   


Recommendation
That Amendment #2 to the Agreement dated February 18, 2020, with Schenkel & Shultz Inc. for the Booker High School VPA Theater Renovations be approved as presented.
