RES. 22.23 6-20-2017.pdf
Rationale: Via Resolution 22.23 at their stated meeting on June 20, 2017, the Board of Trustees assigned E&R Engineering the A/E services the original scope of work for CIP10816 which included but was not limited to heating plant and HVAC upgrades (domestic water heating, boilers, radiators, VAT flooring replacement and requisite asbestos abatement.
Bids for four trades were awarded let in March of 2019. However, the award for Contract 1 of 4, General Contracting was subsequently rescinded. Some of the work entailed under the GC contract was done by the other trades under change order but the major balance of the work is to be re-bid. Since the GC Work is being re-packaged for re-bid, the upgrades to some known building defects which have in the interim deteriorated to the point of needing replacement are being added to the original scope of work. This amendment is to provide for added AE services required for the design and construction support.
The original project, now known as Phase I is substantially completed.
Phase II work includes re-bid of the balance of the GC work not completed by Phase 1 and adds the restoration of: the auditorium, two unusable basement classrooms & toilet rooms, site storm drainage, exterior stairs, stone retaining walls and replacement of the underground fuel oil storage tank.
Phase 1 additional A/E services included revised drawings & specifications for other trades to perform requisite GC work, Con-Ed mandated revisions, District decision to go with dual fuel operations, the emergency repairs to the collapsed chimney and WCDOH permit filing at a cost of $11,500.00.
Phase II A/E services includes the added scope and re-packaging/bidding of the balance of the original GC work. The cost for this is $98,500.00. There is an additional reimbursable contingency of $30,000 for sampling, testing, surveying, etc.
The value of the Phase II work is estimated to be $3 million. Overall project cost is estimated to be $4.75 million.
The total additional AE fees for Amendment 1 is in the amount of $140,000.
