(One of the grant requirements was that the Division of Historical Resources, Department of State, would review our plans and specifications prior to award. This material was sub- mitted on September 16, 1988, concurrently with the return of our grant agreement.) It is recommended that we proceed immediately to advertise the renovation contract under the plans and specifications previously prepared by the firm of Burke, Bales and Mills. Based on the cost estimate by that firm, it appears that funds available will be suf' ficient for award of the renovation contract, perhaps with certain deductive bid items. It is anticipated that an amendment should b~ issued to the Burke, Bales and Mills design contra~t for construc- tion administration of this contract, as is routinely done with our utility system improvement contracts and recently the Senior Citizens Center. A preliminary estimate of the cost of the contract amendment for this service is $5000. I would not antici- pate award of this contract until after bids are opened for the renovation contract. The Commission authorized Engineering and Planning to proceed with the ~dvertising and award process for the renovation contract and award contract.
