FROM: Phil Batchelor, C ltra
County Administrator Cos
DATE: March 1 , 1988 Co
SUBJECT: Amending the Architect' s Contract, West County Justice Center
( Project No. 4411-4101; 0928-WH101B)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE the Fourth Amendment initiating the Bidding and Construction Phase
of the Architectural Services Agreement with Dworsky/Design Partnership, a
joint venture, and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to
execute the Amendment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This contract for design services is currently limited to the Predesign,
Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Documents Phases of
the West County Justice Center project. The fourth amendment extends the
contract through the Bidding and Construction Phases of the project. The
complete performance of basic architectural services will total $2,344,423 ,
an increase of $703 , 327 . The increase is anticipated and the funds to
support this encumbrance are appropriated and available.
REASONS FOR RECOMMKNDATION/BACKGROUND
As a result of overcrowding at the County' s adult detention facilities in
Martinez, Clayton (Marsh Creek) and Richmond (Work Furlough) , the County
made application for a $36 ,570, 521 grant to the California Board of
Corrections in 1983 . This grant was approved for the development of the
560-bed West County Justice Center in accordance with the County Jail
Capital Expenditure Bond Act (Proposition 2 and 16 ) .
The Architect has completed the project Construction Documents. Concurrent
with the Board' s approving the Plans and Specifications and advertising for
bids, this action permits the Architect to provide his professional
services throughout the remaining phase of this project. The bidding and
construction phase services were anticipated, included in the original
Agreement for Architectural Services as an option, and negotiated as a
percentage of the project' s basic services.
CONSEQUENCES OF A NEGATIVE ACTION
If this contract amendment is not approved, the County will not have
necessary architectural and engineering professional services during the
bidding and construction phase, such as the preparation of addenda and
clarification documents, the review and processing of submittals, contract
interpretations, periodic observations of the work, preparation of change
orders and project close out services. All these services are vital to
bidding and construction phase work. Without them the project should not
be issued for bidding, thus causing project delay nd increased costs due
to construction escalation.
