AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES

 

 This Agreement for Services (Agreement) is between the City of Portland, Oregon ("City") and Carleton Hart Architecture ("Consultant") to provide architectural and engineering services for the remodel of Fire Stations 8, 19 and 20.

 

RECITALS:

1.  In 1996/97 a Phase I study was conducted by the Bureau of General Services

and the Bureau of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services that was the first phase in preparing a comprehensive Seismic Rehabilitation Plan.

 

2.  In the Phase I report it was determined that it is unlikely that fire stations as a

system would fare well in the wake of a serious earthquake today. Whether to rebuild or to rehabilitate – and the appropriate phasing for these actions – are decisions to be made in the next two phases.

 

3.  The State of Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Task Force is recommending

legislation which will require fire stations to be rehabilitated to a standard which goes beyond protecting life safety, and that standards be adopted that would provide for the immediate occupancy of the building following an earthquake.

 

4.  Almost all stations will need improvements at some level. The order of these

improvements should be based upon a needs analysis which shows how fire stations would operate in the wake of an earthquake and the other work that might be necessary in order to meet other requirements.

 

5.  Phase II and III established performance objectives for each station that was

used as benchmarks to determine their seismic upgrade requirement, and developed a comprehensive plan to rebuild, rehabilitate, or relocate, along with an appropriate phasing and financing plan.

 

6.  This group of three existing stations 8, 19, and 20 will be remodeled, continuing Phase IV of the project.

   The Consultant shall timely pay all suppliers, lessors and contractors providing it services, materials or equipment for carrying out its obligations under this Agreement.

END OF AGREEMENT

 

EXHIBIT A

 

SCOPE OF CONSULTANT SERVICES

 The Consultant shall provide the following general services:

 

 A.  Provide architectural and engineering services as provided below.

 

2.  SPECIFIC SERVICES

 

 In providing the general services described above, the Consultant shall provide not less than the following specific services:

 

 2.1    PROJECT ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

 

 2.1.1    The Consultant shall manage the Consultant's services and administer the Project. The Consultant shall consult with the City, research applicable design criteria, attend Project meetings, communicate with members of the Project team and issue progress reports. The Consultant shall coordinate the services provided by the Consultant and the Consultant's subcontractors with those services provided by the City and the City's consultants.

 

 2.1.2    When Project requirements have been sufficiently identified, the Consultant shall prepare, and periodically update, a Project schedule that shall identify milestone dates for decisions required of the City, design services furnished by the Consultant, completion of documentation provided by the Consultant, commencement of construction and Substantial Completion of the Work.

 

 2.1.3    The Consultant shall consider the value of alternative materials, sustainable ('green') building practices, building systems and equipment, together with other considerations based on program, budget and aesthetics in developing the design for the Project.

 

 2.1.4    Upon request of the City, the Consultant shall make a presentation to explain the design of the Project to representatives of the City.

2.1.7    EVALUATION OF BUDGET AND COST OF THE WORK

 

 2.1.7.1  When the Project requirements have been sufficiently identified, the Consultant shall prepare a preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work. This estimate may be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques. As the design process progresses through the end of the preparation of the Construction Documents, the Consultant shall update and refine the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work. The Consultant shall advise the City of any adjustments to previous estimates of the Cost of the Work indicated by changes in Project requirements or general market conditions. If at any time the Consultant's estimate of the Cost of Work exceeds the City's budget, the Consultant shall make appropriate recommendations to the City to adjust the Project's size, quality or budget, and the City shall cooperate with the Consultant in making such adjustments.

 

 2.1.7.2  Evaluations of the City's budget for the Project, the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the work and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work prepared by the Consultant represent the Consultant's judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that neither the Consultant nor the City has control over the cost of labor, competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly, the Consultant cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the City's budget for the Project or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the Consultant.

 

 2.1.7.3  In preparing estimates of the Cost of the Work, the Consultant shall be permitted to include contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of construction are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids as may be necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of the Work to meet the City's budget for the Cost of the Work. If an increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between the City and the General Contractor selected for the construction of the project (Contractor) causes the budget for the Cost of the Work to be exceeded, that budget shall be increased as provided by the Conditions of the Contract.

 

 2.1.7.4  If bidding or negotiation has not commenced within ninety (90) days after the Consultant submits complete Construction Documents to the City, the City and the Consultant shall agree to negotiate a new budget for the Cost of the Work to reflect changes in the general level of prices in the construction industry.

 

 2.1.7.5  If the budget for the Cost of the Work is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the City shall:

 

   .1  give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work;

   .2  authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;

   .3  terminate in accordance with Paragraph 6 of the Agreement; or

   .4  cooperate in revising the Project scope and quality as required to reduce the Cost of the Work.

 

 2.1.7.6  If the City chooses to proceed under Clause 2.1.7.5.4, the Consultant shall modify the documents for which the Consultant is responsible under this Agreement as necessary to comply with the budget for the Cost of the Work. However, in the event the lowest bona fide bid exceeds the budget by 10% or more, the Consultant, without additional compensation, shall modify the documents for which the Consultant is responsible under this Agreement as necessary to comply with the budget for the Cost of the Work. The modification of such documents shall be the limit of the Consultant's responsibility under this Paragraph 2.1.7. The Consultant shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with this Agreement for services performed as defined in Paragraph 3 of the Agreement.

The Consultant shall be responsible for the Consultant's, or it's subcontractor's negligent acts or omissions, but shall not have control over or charge of and shall not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, it's subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

 

 2.5.2.3  The Consultant shall at all times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation or progress.

 

 2.5.2.4  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or when direct communications have been specially authorized, the City shall endeavor to communicate with the Contractor through the Consultant about matters arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents. Communications by and with the Consultant's subconsultants shall be through the Consultant.

 

 2.5.2.5  The Consultant shall have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Consultant considers it necessary or advisable, the Consultant shall have authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Consultant nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Consultant to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

 

 

 2.5.3    CERTIFICATION OF PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

 

 2.5.3.1  The Consultant shall review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and shall issue Certificates of Payment in such amounts. The Consultant's certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the City based on the Consultant's evaluation of the Work as provided in Paragraph 2.5.2 and on the data comprising the Contractor's Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Consultant's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3) to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications expressed by the Consultant.

 

 2.5.3.2  The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Consultant has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the City to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment, or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

 

 2.5.3.3  The Consultant shall maintain a record of the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

 

 2.5.4    SUBMITTALS

 

 2.5.4.1  The Consultant shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Consultant's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the City, Contractor, its subcontractors, or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Consultant's professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The Consultant's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Consultant, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Consultant's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

 

 2.5.4.2  The Consultant shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of submittals supplied by the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

 2.5.4.3  If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Consultant shall specify appropriate performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by the design professional retained by the Contractor shall bear such professionals written approval when submitted to the Consultant. The Consultant shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals performed by such design professionals.

 

 2.5.5    CHANGES IN THE WORK

 

 2.5.5.1  The Consultant shall prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives for the City's approval and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Consultant may authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time which are consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. If necessary, the Consultant shall prepare, reproduce and distribute Drawings and Specifications to describe Work to be added, deleted or modified, as provided in Paragraph 2.6.1.

 

 2.5.5.2  The Consultant shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the City or Contractor for change in the Work, including adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. A properly prepared request for a change in the Work shall be accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to permit the Consultant to make a reasonable determination without extensive investigation or preparation of additional drawings or specifications. If the Consultant determines that requested changes in the work are not materially different from the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Consultant may issue an order for a minor change in the Work or recommend to the Owner that the requested change be denied.

 

 2.5.5.3  If the Consultant determines that implementation of the requested changes would result in a material change to the Contract that may cause an adjustment in the Contract Time or Contract Sum, the Consultant shall make a recommendation to the City, who may authorize further investigation of such change. Upon such authorization, and based upon information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Consultant shall estimate the additional cost and time that might result from such change, including any additional costs attributable to a Change in Services of the Consultant. With the City's approval, the Consultant shall incorporate those estimates into a Change Order or other appropriate documentation for the City's execution or negotiation with the Contractor.

 

 2.5.5.4  The Consultant shall maintain records relative to changes in the Work.

 

 2.5.6    PROJECT COMPLETION

 2.5.6.2  The Consultant's inspection shall be conducted with the City's Designated Representative to check conformance of the Work with the requirements of the Contract Documents and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the list submitted by the Contractor of Work to be completed or corrected.

 

 2.5.6.3  When the Work is found to be substantially complete, the Consultant shall inform the City about the balance of the Contract Sum remaining to be paid the Contractor, including any amounts needed to pay for final completion or correction of the Work.

 

 2.5.6.4  The Consultant shall receive from the Contractor and forward to the Owner: (1) consent of surety or sureties, if any, to reduction in or partial release of retainage or the making of final payment and (2) affidavits, receipts, releases and waivers of liens of bonds indemnifying the City against liens.

 

 2.5.6.5  The Consultant shall provide to the City all Construction Document plans (inclusive of architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical) on computer disks in AutoCAD V.14 format, or in a format that can be read by AutoCAD V.14.
