By motion, authorize the Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 3 to <br />agreement for professional services with Freedman, Tung & Bottomley (FTB) for <br />services related to the construction of Courthouse Square, extending the <br />expiration date to February 28, 2007 and approving additional services in an <br />amount not-ta-exceed $52,000. <br /> <br />2. By motion, approve the appropriation of funds from the Redevelopment Agency <br />2008/07 Capital Budget "Contingency" fund, Account No. 803-76000 to pay for <br />the additional services. <br /> <br />Background <br />The original agreement with FTB for conceptual design services for Courthouse Square <br />was entered into in April, 2003 for $195,910. The first amendment, dated February, <br />2005 for $15,658, was for the development of design alternatives recommended by the <br />City Council, Planning Commission, and Architectural Review Committee related to the <br />pavilions and a possible interactive fountain, and an additional joint study session. The <br />second amendment in April, 2005 for $783,047 was for construction drawings for the <br />Square and construction phase services. <br /> <br />The current agreement (Amendment No.2) expired on September 30,2006. This was <br />the original date of planned construction completion for the Courthouse Square project. <br />The construction schedule has been extended by approximately three months and as a <br />result the budget for construction support forecasted by the design team of FTB will be <br />exhausted soon. Based on the remaining items scheduled for completion, staff <br />recommends extending the agreement for professional consulting services through <br />February 28, 2007 to account for full acceptance of all remaining construction work. <br />The budget for construction support should also be increased by an additional $52,000 <br />to account for the additional time and services anticipated to insure satisfactory <br />completion of all design details. <br /> <br />REDEVSHARED_2006 STAFF REPORTS_11-2006]TB Amend 3 <br />
