B. In letters dated September 19, October 15, and November
15', 1984, Field/Gruzen requested extra payments of
approximately $42,000. 00 to $47,000. 00 over the payment
limit specified in the agreement. Field/Gr uzen argued it
was due such extra payments because it had performed
services in excess of those required by the Agreement,
even though no such services had been ordered in writing
in accordance with the Agreement. County staff evaluated
the claim, found that some extra services had been
performed to the benefit of the County and that it would
be equitable to offer Field/Gruzen $14, 500. 00 as
compensation for such extra services. Field/Gruzen
rejected the offer.
C. By an Order dated December 11, 1984, the Board approved a
Program Verification Study for the Superior Court Annex,
which was the end product of the architectural predesign
services by Field/Gruzen. By an Order dated December 18,
1984, the Board rescinded the appointment of Field/Gruzen
as Project Architect and appointed another architect.
D. In a letter dated June 23 , 1987, attorneys for
Field/Gruzen notified the County that it will accept
$15,000. 00 as full compensation for any extra services
and, on February 15, 1988, Field/Gruzen signed the Second
Amendment to the Agreement. County staff recommends
approval of this Amendment and payment of $15, 000. 00 as
an acceptable fee for the extra services performed by
Field/Gruzen.
