SECTION 3.0 PROPOSED REVISED FEES FOR CONSTRUCTION
PHASE SERVICES DUE TO CONTRACTORS TIME
EXTENSIONS FOR PROJECT #6391
The initial proposal for Construction Phase Services considered that basic Construction
Phase Services and day -to -day construction observation of the work for the Staples -
Water Street Project would be conducted simultaneously. However, due to the change of
scope of services, where AG /CM was to perform the day -to -day inspections, our office
is providing only basic Construction Administration Support Services.
The time extensions requested by IHS Construction, the General Contractor for Project
#6391, currently stands at 72 working days and may increase to an additional 15 working
day in order to complete the project. The additional hours for the allowed time extension
is shown in the table below. As a comparison, about an average of 10 hours per week
was provided by MGM over the first 225 calendar days or 45 weeks (original contract
time). For the time extension, the average number of hours comes to 8.3. hours per
week.

SECTION 4.0 INITIAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF
THE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS ALONG BOOTY AND
FURMAN NEAR STAPLES
Per the request of the City's Storm Water Department, this office performed services in
connection to the replacement of existing storm sewer pipe along two crossing streets at
Staples, namely, Booty (approximately 1,500 LF) and Furman (approximately 880 LF).
Said replacements were necessary due to the collapsed of the old existing asbestos -
cement storm sewer pipes along said streets.
This office researched City record drawings, performed field measurements and
surveying, and prepared preliminary exhibits along with preliminary cost estimates.
Upon reviewing the cost estimates and the extensive work for upgrading. the storm sewer
systems, the City ultimately decided that funding constraints would not allow the
replacement of said storm sewer systems at that time. Consequently, the scope of the
proposed work was not added to this office's current Staples ADA contract.
The breakdown of actual manhours, based on timecard data, are itemized by discipline
and given below based on 2006 contracted hourly rates:
