J <br /> • March 11, 1988 <br /> Mr. David Charles, City Manager <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> Page 2 <br /> require twice as many project progress meetings , twice as many pay <br /> requests to verify, twice as many visits to the site, etc". - In addition <br /> to this we spent a proportionately greater amount of time on this <br /> project in construction administration services than is normal due to <br /> the continuous deficiencies such as misplacement of bar joists, use of <br /> rebar in leiu of anchor bolts for columns, misplacement of footings., <br /> etc. Our Field Superintendent, Dan Waarvik, frequently had to visit the <br /> site two or three times before some of these problems were corrected. <br /> The choice of contractor was not our choice, nor was it the City's, but <br /> the fact is this situation caused the architect to spend additional time <br /> on the site, time for which we deserve to be compensated. The <br /> contractor has already agreed, which is documented in a change order, to <br /> compensate the City in the amount of $4,500 partly to offset this <br /> additional cost. <br /> Furthermore, I would like to point out that BWBR has spent considerable <br /> time and money on this project for which we have not billed the City. <br /> Because of the many revisions on the initial design (where we worked on <br /> a lump sum basis) we had a net loss of $17,820. There was additional <br /> time spent on the redesign of the loading dock during the construction <br /> phase in the amount of $660 which was not billed to the City. We admit <br /> that our understanding of how- the dock .was to function with a fork lift <br /> truck may not have been the same understanding that Ray Nelson had. <br /> However, we did provide the free redesign time and in addition <br /> participated in the cost of construction revisions in the amount of $200 <br /> (about 24% of $842 extra) . In addition, BWBR has participated in other <br /> extras including the additional stucco on the exterior of the building <br /> at the fire station, the extension of the fire rated ceiling at the <br /> storeroom, and the cast iron threshold at the loading dock door. <br /> Fees <br /> Following is a summary of fees for the revised liquor warehouse design: <br /> ° Carry-over of design work from original design <br /> (estimate value) $12,000 <br /> ° Eliminate bar, basement , and modify drawings for rebid <br /> of liquor warehouse $11,330 <br /> ° Printing for rebidding $869 <br /> ° Construction administration billed through 2/24/88 $20,523 <br /> Total consultant billings 44,722 <br /> • <br />
