Zehr and Members of Council March 21 , 2005 G. Sosnoski, General Manager of Corporate Services & City Clerk L. Proulx, Director of Facilities Management Chicopee-Grand River (2) March 7, 2005 CRPS-05-044 EXTENSION OF PURCHASE ORDER #0200815 - STANLEY PARK COMMUNITY CENTRE PROJECT RECOMMENDATION: That the City of Kitchener's Purchase Order # 0200815 dated July 17, 2002 to Levitt Goodman Architects be extended from its original amount of $141,454.00 including GST to $353,583.64 including GST to facilitate payments for consultant services to meet the City's contractual obligation with respect to an increase in project scope, energy consultant fees and delay costs. BACKGROUND: Levitt Goodman were retained as Architects for the new Stanley Park Community Center. The original Purchase Order (P.O.) was for $141,000 plus G.S.T. based on a 15,000 square foot stand-alone facility to be completed in 2003. The scope of work was since changed necessitating an increase in Levitt Goodman's fee and therefore a corresponding increase in the required P.O. The additional costs this P.O. relates to are reflected in the revised budget approved by Council and no additional budget funds are being requested. REPORT: There are three components to this increase that we are trying to reconcile in this adjustment. 1. CBIP Funds The architect's fee proposed included the services of the energy consultant to process an application for NRCan funding. The consultant negotiated that this effort should save $15,000 in energy per year and proposed that two years for these savings ($30,000) be incorporated into their fee plus GST [$32,100]. This amount should have been reflected in the purchase order but was missed. .../2 2. Project Budget The fee negotiated in 2001 was predicated on a budget of $1,900,000. The construction portion of the budget was revised to $3,780,798, an increase of $1,880,798. The consultant services need to be adjusted based on their fee of 6.5% to an additional $122,252 plus GST [$130,809.64]. 3. Delay in Proceeding with the Project The contract for services included a section to deal with additional consultant costs resulting from a delay in proceeding with the project. The two year delay on the project was the responsibility of the City and not the consultants. Your project manager negotiated an increase in fees of $46,000 plus GST [$49,220] for this component of consultant services. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Additional funding is not required, as the increases referenced in this report are incorporated in the revised budget approved by Council in the Spring of 2004.
