Status:
Approve an increase of $183,185 in Supplemental Services and terminate the Professional Services Agreement with Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc., Project No. P. 000386, dated October 21, 2008.
This project's budget was scaled back significantly requiring a reduction in the scope in the Adopted District Educational Facilities Plan, Fiscal Years 2009-2010 to 2013-2014. The scope of the project has been revised to reflect the available funds of $23,600,000 for construction. The State of Florida legislature has reduced the capital outlay millage from 2 to 1.5 mils. This tax cut, combined with the unprecedented decrease in property values in Broward County, has resulted in a 1.8 billion-dollar cut to available funds to the District's Capital Plan. Accordingly, as a direct result of this budget cut, the Professional Services Agreement is terminated for cause in accordance with Article 10.2.3 of the Professional Services Agreement. Staff has reviewed this recommendation with the General Counsel's Office.
Staff recommends an increase in Supplemental Services Fees in the amount of $183,185 for services requested from and provided by Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc., to revise its documents to reflect the above-mentioned reduction to the scope of this project in accordance with Article 2.9.14, of the Professional Services Agreement. At a future School Board Meeting, Staff shall recommend that the Board authorize the use of plans prepared by Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc., in a design criteria package for the procurement of design/build services to design and construct the revised project.
The original Agreement includes fees of $4,114,564 for phased replacement. Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc. has been paid $652,759 to date. Upon approval of this item, Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc. shall be entitled to a final payment of $270,962, resulting with a final contract amount of $923,721. The funds released by this Termination will remain in the project budget.
Funds for the completion of this project are in the Adopted District Educational Facilities Plan 2010-2011 to 2014-2015, page 89. Funds released by this Termination, totaling $3,190,843 will remain in the project. There is an additional financial impact of $108,185 for Supplemental Services.
