BOAR' MANI 6s ASSOCIATES A R CHI TECfI!RE E N G I N E E R I N G INTERIOR DESIGN September 6, 1990 Joel Hanson City Administrator City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 RE: Fee Update Dear Joel, RELEiVEU l ,, SEP 7 1990 ■ CITY OF LITTLE. CANADA Our original contract agreement with the City of Little Canada for the Fire Station and City Hall projects included a fee based on Boarman & Associates estimate of the cost of construction plus additional fee for any bid alternates. At the completion of the Design Development Phase, Kraus - Anderson was hired to provide construction management services for the project. They provided a detailed estimate of the project which proved to be consistent with our earlier schematic estimate. In an effort to simplify the bidding process, Kraus - Anderson suggested that all potential bid alternates be included in the base bid package, with the understanding that these items would then be negotiated out if the project contingency could not absorb the additional cost. Per an earlier phone conversation with you, we both agreed to proceed in this manner but Boarman & Associates would be compensated for this additional workscope previously considered bid alternates. Now that we are in receipt of the project bids, it is appropriate that our fee be adjusted fairly and equitably to reflect the actual workscope. The total cost of construction includes all costs for labor, material, and taxes; the contractors overhead and profit, or the construction management fee, which ever applies; and, contingencies for changes in the work during construction. Items which are not included in the construction costs are furniture and equipment, telephone system, audio visual systems, financing costs, legal fees, land costs, and surveys and soils tests provided by the Owner. We have expended the fee hours during the construction document phase to complete the additional workscope. Some of the items at the Fire Station include the North parking area and retaining wall, chain link fencing, irrigation, apparatus room cavity wall, electric locks, changes and upgrades to the apparatus aprons, and the carbon monoxide system. Workscope items added to City Hall include the brick facing, irrigation, operable wall system changes, revision of the existing toilet ventilation system, additional insulation to the existing attic, revision of existing sewer clean out, and modifications to the documents based on the actual existing roof slopes as opposed to the slope indicated on the existing documents. 222 North 2nd Street Minneapolis Minnesota 55401 612 - 339 -3752 FAX 612 - 339 -6212 Equal Opportunity Employer Page 48
