THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT DIVISION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Public Works Department and the Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a 20% Community Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal for this project. Saltz Michelson Architects, Inc. committed to 20% participation. To date, Saltz Michelson Architects, Inc. has been paid $1,598,514 in fees eligible for CBE participation with CBE firms receiving $265,907, yielding an interim achievement of 17% participation.
On October 23, 2012, (Item No. 31), the Board of County Commissioners approved an Agreement between Broward County and Saltz Michelson Architects Inc., for architectural and engineering services for the Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) and the Nancy J. Cotterman Center (NJCC). Initially the two facilities were to be co-located in a campus setting in the City of Fort Lauderdale and preliminary designs were completed for both facilities and submitted for site plan review. The City restricted the construction to one human services facility on the site and BARC Central facility was constructed at that location.
On September 1, 2015, the Director of Purchasing approved the First Amendment to the Agreement to revise compensation to increase Basic Services by $139,353 from $1,721,497 to $1,860,850 and the Optional Services by $100,000 from $315,000 to $415,000.
On April 18, 2016, the Director of Purchasing approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement to allocate compensation between the two projects, Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) and the Nancy J. Cotterman Center.
The Third Amendment will allow for the re-design and construction administration services of the new Nancy J. Cotterman Center with a revised construction area of 28,000 square feet. The new facility will provide services to victims of rape, childhood neglect and abuse. The new facility is proposed to be built on County-owned property located at 2995 North Dixie Highway in the City of Oakland Park.
The motion allows for the Agreement to be extended an additional four years, to allow for design, permitting, construction administration and warranty services. Although construction is anticipated to be completed in approximately three years, the extended agreement will accommodate 1 year for warranty services (after construction) and for any unforeseen items that may arise during the course of the project and if needed.
On October 5, and October 17, 2018 negotiation meetings were held for this Third Amendment. Meetings were attended by representatives of Saltz Michelson Architects, Inc., their subconsultants and Broward County staff.
All dollar amounts referenced in this agenda item have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
This Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney and Risk Management Division. |
