NE SERVICES FEE PROPOSAL (REVISED)
AUGUST 22, 2016
SUBJECT: PROJECT E12121: CENTRAL LIBRARY ROOF/GUTTER REPAIRS
(BOND 2012)
A. BACKGROUND
1. This proposal relates to the subject Bond 2012 project which was initially awarded to
SolkaNavaTorno, LLC in 2013.
2. After submission of an initial Phase 1 report in 2014, the complete scope of work
proposed by the City was estimated to cost $761,678.00 when the original Bond
2012 Construction Cost Budget was stated to be $208,000.00.
3. In 2014, the SolkaNavaTorno, LLC original NE Services Fee Proposal for the entire
scope in the amount of $74,400.00 was placed on hold due to the unavailability of
funding for the additional estimated project costs over the 2012 Bond funds
available.
4. Some temporary repairs to the Spanish clay tile mansard roofing have been
completed since the original SNT Report of 2014, but most of the serious
deficiencies remain.
5. The Library building interior finishes, collections and furnishings have suffered
substantial damage from continued serious moisture intrusion from the previously
identified deficient interior gutter system at the base of the Spanish clay tile mansard
roofing and from other deficiencies in expansion joint and membrane base flashings.
6. The following SolkaNavaTorno, LLC A/E Services Fee Proposal is intended to
address only repairs to the lining of the interior gutter and drainage system and minor
repairs to the expansion joints and membrane base flashing located on the gravel-
surfaced built-up asphalt roof above the third floor of the building. It is anticipated
that this scope can be accomplished within the currently stated remaining
construction cost budget of approximately $180,000.00.
7. The following original 2012 Bond project scope items are not included in this A/E
services proposal and will need to be addressed by separate A/E and Construction
Contract when funds become available:
a. Complete tear-off and replacement of the existing +17,000 sf of low-slope gravel- •
surfaced roofing membrane and insulation system at the first and third floor roof
areas.
b. Removal, salvage and replacement of the existing Spanish clay tile mansard and
roofing. Anchorage and fastening of the existing Spanish clay tile is seriously
deficient and does not comply with current windstorm-resistant installation
requirements. Temporary repairs have been accomplished in some areas, but
instances of the heavy tiles falling from the building can be expected to occur as
time goes on and deterioration continues.

B. PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. Conduct additional field investigations as necessary to establish detailed existing
conditions and to determine constructability of proposed repair/replacement means
and methods.
2. Consult available as-built drawings and documents available from the City to
coordinate with field observations.
3. Provide scaled roof plans to identify the repair/replacement scope proposed and to
enable prospective bidders to complete quantity take offs.
4. Provide existing condition and new work details as necessary to establish the
complete scope of work proposed.
5. Provide technical specifications for materials and methods proposed incorporated
with the drawings (no separate project manual).
6. Provide estimate of probable construction costs by Bid Item for the project scope
proposed.
7. Provide Bid Phase Services including participation in a pre-proposal conference,
answering questions during the bid phase and assistance in evaluation of Bids
received.
8. Participation in Pre-Construction and Pre-Installation Conferences during the
construction phase.
9. Construction administration services including participation in Weekly Construction
Progress Meetings, on-site construction observations, photographs and Field
Reports, evaluation of payment requests, final inspection and project close-out.
10.All other services will be considered additional services at an additional fee.
C. NE FEE PROPOSAL
1. For the NE Services described above in Paragraph B and for the project scope as
described in Paragraph A.6, SolkaNavaTorno, LLC proposes a total NE Services
Fee in the amount of$17,680.00.
2. The fee proposal does not include any costs associated with hazardous material
identification, testing, removal or remediation.
3. The fee proposal does not include any costs for windstorm design, inspection or
certification (since the proposed project scope only includes repairs, windstorm
certification should not be required).
D. CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
1. One of the primary cost factors for the scope of construction work proposed will be
accessibility to the internal gutter system which is approximately 30' above the
existing grade. Access will be complicated due to the presence of overhead wires on
the south side and east sides, lower roof areas on the north side, and trees and the
mechanical compound on the west side.
2. It is anticipated that the costs of complete replacement of the low slope roof areas of
the second and third floors would be approximately $200,000.00; therefore, that
scope of work would not be included in the bid documents provided.
3. It is anticipated that the current project budget would cover the complete repair of the
internal gutter system and temporary repairs of the existing low-slope roofing
expansion joints edge flashings, and penetration flashings.

4. SolkaNavaTorno, LLC will arrange the bid documents by individual Bid Items as
follows:
Bid Item No. 1: Remove and replace the existing deteriorated gutter lining with
PMMA flashing system.
Bid Item No. 2: Repair rotten wood supporting the existing internal gutter
system (unit price + base bid quantity).
Bid Item No. 3: PMMA flashing system repairs to existing low-slope roofing
components including expansion joints, base flashing and
penetration flashing.
5. Reliable PMMA flashing membrane system manufacturers are limited so products
produced only by Siplast or Johns Manville will be acceptable.
6. PMMA flashing membrane systems are complex and should only be installed by
factory trained and certified installers. SNT considers that there are only 3 in the
Corpus Christi area.
7. SolkaNavaTorno, LLC anticipates only providing design drawings, plans and details
with the technical specifications incorporated into the drawings. The Project Manual,
General Conditions, Supplemental General Conditions, front-end "boiler-plate",
proposal form, contract forms, etc. are to be completed by the City, if required.
8. SolkaNavaTorno, LLC will not participate in the project unless Bidding and
Construction Administration Services as previously described are included in our
scope of services.
9. SolkaNavaTorno, LLC anticipates that construction will take approximately 8 weeks
after the selected Contractor is issued his Notice to Proceed. SolkaNavaTorno, LLC
reserves the right to bill for additional services if the construction phase exceeds the
contract time.
SolkaNavaTorno, LLC appreciates the opportunity to provide NE Services for these important
renovations to this prominent City facility. We believe that we have the special skills and
relevant experience to make this project a success despite the difficult conditions and budget
limitations. Please call or contact us if you have questions or need further clarification of this
Proposal.
Sincerely Yours,
Glen Ray Torno, AIA
Vice-President
