MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor
City Council
FROM: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
DATE:
January 10, 2002
SUB J:
Approval of Landscape Contract with Damon Farber Associates
for Development of the City Center Commons
On December 10, 2001, the City Council requested staff to prepare and
negotiate a contract with Damon Farber Associates for Landscape Architectural
Services for the City Center Commons park development. Attached you will
find the fee proposal and a redlined Architect's Services Contract with the
suggested changes from the City Attorney's office.
The method used to determine the fee proposal is as follows:
Task 1:
The contract will be for a lump sum payment of $22,000. This
will include developing a Concept Master Plan, cost estimates,
analysis, and programming.
Tasks 2-5:
Fees will be based on a percentage of the ultimate construction
costs at a rate of 7.5% (see attached fee proposal). Of the 7.5%,
landscape services will account for 6% and engineering services
will account for 1.5%.
Example for Task 2 (based on a $500,000 Construction Budget):
- Construction Budget
- Schematic Design
(15% of total project)
$500,000 x 7.5% = $37,500
$ 37,500 x 15% = $ 5,625
Based on this fee proposal, Damon Farber would be paid a
percentage as they complete each task as shown on the attached
Landscape Architectural Fee Proposal.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Landscape Contract with Damon Farber
Associates for the City Center Commons development and the proposed fee
schedule dated January 9, 2002.
