RE:  Scope and Fee Adjustment

 South Waterfront Greenway Development Plan, Contract No. 34845

 

 

Dear Henry:

 

Based on our current conversations and correspondence, we propose the following adjustments to our scope and fee for the South Waterfront Greenway project.

 

We have successfully completed our contracted items 1.1 through 2.5. During the process, we have been asked to perform services beyond our contracted scope of work. These services have been performed to assist Parks in facilitating the extensive dialogue with the property owners, the jurisdictional agencies, and the City regarding the project.

 

Additional work to date has included:

▪  Preparation and attendance of meetings with the City’s Core Team.

▪  Preparation and attendance of meetings with Parks beyond those within our contract.

▪  Management and coordination with the City-selected artist, Buster Simpson.

▪  Providing prints and reproducibles for the City’s and property owners’ use.

▪  Coordination with City bureaus, ongoing assistance with discussions with property owners, and consultation with Parks.

The cost of these services beyond our contract amount is $13,000.00.

 

REVISED REMAINING SCOPE

Items 2.6 through 4.4 remain to be completed within our contract. Based on our mutual understanding of the additional effort and coordination necessary to successfully complete the work, we have agreed to provide the following Revised Scope of Work within a definitive schedule.

 

The following scope is intended to replace tasks 2.6 through 4.4 identified in Exhibit ‘A’ of Contract No. 34845, as amended (South Waterfront Greenway Development Plan).

2.6  Prior to the refinement to Schematic Design, we will attend one meeting each with representatives from: two key property owners: WDD and Zidell, a Federal Natural Resource Agency, and BES to discuss their current plans and thinking.
