SECTION 1
PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT
1.1 Introduction
Amendment 60 between The City of Sanford and CPH Engineers was executed on
and provided for assistance to the City with the planning
and final layout for the new Utility Department offices and preparation of final design
plans for bidding and assistance with limited construction inspection services in
connection with the relocation of the City Utility Department offices.
Engineering services as outlined in Amendment 60 were based on an office building
layout of approximately 5,200 sq.ft. This Amendment 60A provides for a revised
scope of services and associated fees as a result of design, plans, bidding and
construction inspection services for a building layout of approximately 10,200 sq.ft.
and additional services related to the space planning of the remaining 4,000 sq.ft of
the first floor area of City Hall.
SECTION 2
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
2.1 Professional Engineerin.q Services
The project shall consist of the demolition and new construction of approximately
10,200 sq.ft, of office space in the existing City Hall building.
This original concept upon which Amendment 60 services and fees were based
consisted of facilities which included a vault, lobby, conference room, plans room,
"storage", offices and an administrative area for the utilities department. During
design, modifications we were requested to provide for space planning for the
existing recreation department and allocation and design for space to accommodate
the parks department including common hallways and staff restroom facilities.
Options including the recreation department were later dropped and only the space
allocation for the parks department was included in the final design. Two floor plan
options were provided for the parks department area. Plans were designed in
compliance with the Florida Building Code 2001 and applicable City ordinances. The
design shall be limited to the existing floor plan~demolition plan, new floor
plan, wall sections (rated and/or non-rated), restroom and cabinetry detail
sheets, HVAC modification plan, general layout of switches and outlet, and
separate specifications.
The Research Phase consisted of contact with the City of Sanford to confirm their
requirements for the layout of these spaces and numerous site visits to gather data
(and photograph the building).
The Preliminary Phase included "as-built" drawings and proposed floor plans.
Construction documents include the working drawings and separate specifications.
The plans were drawn using AutoCAD 2000 and include ail of the drawings listed
above.
Engineer also provided design of the necessary mechanical/electrical engineering.
Services shall also include design for restroom facilities to serve the new office area.
Fire sprinkler system design and interior design or decorating is not included. This
proposal does not include permit fees, impact fees or other fees of any other nature.
2.2 Bidding and Construction Inspection Services
Engineer shall also provide bidding services and limited construction inspection
services.
The construction period for these activities will commence with the award of
construction contract by the City and will terminate upon written approval of final
payment by the City for the contract and certification of completion to regulatory
agencies. This proposal is based on a construction phase that is scheduled to
extend for a period of 180 days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed. During the
construction period, the Engineer will provide the following services:
Construction Administration Services
The Engineer will advise and consult with the City concerning the construction
activities and act as the City's representative as provided in the General Conditions
of the Contract Documents concerning construction administrative matters as
hereinafter described.
The Engineer will attend and represent the City at preconstruction, progress and
project closeout meetings with the Contractor, surveyors or layout personnel and
construction quality control testing personnel. The Engineer will also review and
monitor Contractor's construction schedule and advise City of any anticipated project
delays and/or early completion indicated through such review and through
construction progress observation.
The Engineer will make periodic visits to the work site to observe the progress and
report to the City as to the amount of work complete, the overall quality of executed
work, and observed impediments to the successful contract completion. The
Engineer will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site observations
as to the quality or quantity of completed work; he will not be responsible for the
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures or the safety
precautions incidental thereto; the Engineer's efforts will be directed toward providing
assurance to the City that the completed project will substantially conform to the
contract, plans, and specifications, but he will not be responsible for the
CONTRACTOR's failure to perform the construction work in accordance with said
documents. Based on on-site observation as an experienced and qualified design
professional, the Engineer will keep the City informed as to the progress of the work,
will endeavor to guard the City against defects and discrepancies and will coordinate
with the City and the Contractor as to disapproving or rejecting work which fails to
meet the project plans, specifications or other Contract Documents.
The Engineer will check and approve shop drawings, catalog data, diagrams,
illustrations, schedules, samples, test and inspection results and other data the
Contractor is required to submit, but only as to conformance with the overall design
concept of the project and compliance with the Plans, Specifications, and other
Contract Documents as well as City of Sanford requirements.
The Engineer will issue all instructions of the City to the Contractor and prepare
routine Change Orders as required. The Engineer may, as the City's representative,
require special inspection or testing of the work (whether or not fabricated, installed
or completed); the Engineer will act as interpreter of the terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents and judge of the performance thereunder by the City and the
Contractor and will make decisions on all claims of the City and the Contractor
relating to the execution and progress of the work and all other matters and
questions related thereto, but the Engineer shall not be liable for the results of any
such interpretations or decisions rendered by him in good faith.
Based on the Engineer's on-site observations as an experienced and qualified
design professional and on his review of the Contractor's applications for payment,
supporting data, and information received from the City, the Engineer will determine
the amounts owing to the Contractor and recommend approval in writing of
payments to the Contractor in such amounts; such recommendations to constitute
representations to the City, that are expressions of the Engineer's opinion, based on
such observations and review, that the work has substantially progressed to the point
indicated and that, to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of
the work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of
the work as a functioning project upon Substantial Completion and to the results of
any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and to any qualifications
stated in his approval). By recommending an application for payment, the Engineer
shall not be deemed to have represented that he has made any examination to
determine how and for what purposes the Contractor has used the monies paid on
account of the Contract Price, or that title to any of the Contractor's work, materials,
or equipment has passed to the City free and clear of any liens, claims, security
interests or encumbrances. Such representations shall at no time be considered as
a legal obligation of the Engineer.
The Engineer will, in conjunction with other City representatives conduct punch list
and final inspections of the in-place work to determine if the work is completed
substantially in accordance with the plans, specifications and other contract
documents. These inspections shall form the basis for the Engineer's review and
recommendation for payment on the CONTRACTOR's final pay request.
The Engineer will review Contractor provided record drawings/surveys and other as-
built data for installed facilities and bring any apparent discrepancies between the as-
built conditions and the design conditions to the attention of the City. Coordinate
with the Contractor regarding provision of the construction record drawings prior to
final on-site inspections and punch list preparation. Prepare and furnish to the City a
reproducible set of record drawings showing those changes made during the
construction based on the data noted above.
The Engineer will prepare statements of completion (qualified if necessary) certifying
completion of the work, and submit statements in accordance with the Contract
Documents, regulatory agencies and City requirements.
The Engineer shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Contractor or
any of the Contractor's, Sub-Contractors, Agents, Employees, or other persons
performing any of the work under the construction contract, or of others.
The Engineer will participate in an inspection to determine if the project is
substantially complete with the punch list of items to be corrected (if applicable) and
a final inspection to determine of the project has been completed substantially in
accordance with the Contract Documents and that the contractor has substantially
fulfilled his obligations thereunder so that the Engineer may prepare a Certification of
Completion to appropriate regulatory agencies.
Construction Inspection Services
City will provide inspection services that will supplement the estimated 8 hours per
week of inspection conducted by the Engineer. The Engineer will rely on City
inspectors in order to fulfill obligations described herein.
Based on a 180 day construction phase, the Engineer will provide on-site
observation and inspection of installed work and work in progress, and verify
Contractor compliance with plans, specifications, change orders and field directives.
The Engineer will observe work during execution to observe construction methods
and techniques, and will selectively inspect delivered materials on-site or at their
source (not including materials testing to be provided by others) as to compliance
with the Contract Documents. Neither full-time observation at any work site nor
observation of all work sites while Contractor is working is anticipated as necessary.
If it is determined that, due to construction progress (or lack thereof') or other related
matters that additional time and cost or other changes than enumerated in this scope
of services or in the attached Plan of Study are required to adequately address the
construction inspection or administration items; the Engineer is obligated to bring this
situation to the City's attention and to furnish services as may be agreed upon and to
negotiate a change in the authorized fee.
Through on-site observations of the work in progress and field checks of installed
work, materials and equipment, the Engineer will endeavor to provide further
protection for the City against defects and deficiencies in the work, but this inspection
and observation work shall not make the Engineer responsible to find or note all
discrepancies in the work nor for the Contractor's failure to perform the construction
work in accordance with the plans, specifications or other contract documents. Note
that the construction inspection observation and inspections are to be supplementary
to those provided under the Construction Administration Services.
The Engineer will provide a record of the Contractor's activities throughout the
construction, including notations on the nature and cost of any extra work or changes
ordered during construction; however, the Engineer is not responsible for the
performance of the construction contract by the Contractor. In order to maintain a
complete record of activities and changes, the Engineer will rely on the City to
provide information based on inspections conducted by the City.
Soils and materials test results furnished by the Contractor's testing firm shall be
reviewed by the Engineer to help determine if backfill and other construction is
properly located and meets the project requirements. The Engineer shall maintain a
file of provided copies of test results during the construction process and prior to
approval of the Contractor's final pay request, shall review the plans and test results
to determine whether all required testing is on hand and that all tests reported
acceptable materials, compaction, etc., and that construction is properly located.
