Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contract modification with Abbot Studios Architects, LLC for professional services related to the Wolfe Park Shelter and Door Improvements Design for the amount of $22,000.00.
Consultant provided architectural and engineering services to prepare plans and specifications for bidding for building exterior doors in various recreational facilities, and building and utility improvements to Wolfe Park Shelter, 105 Park Drive, Columbus, Ohio (43209). Work included electrical service improvements, gas line installation, plumbing system improvements, replacement of doors and windows, terrace patio area and entry and handicap building access. Services included the necessary building inventories, drawings, program development in conjunction with Department staff, reports, cost estimates, bid documents and construction administration services.
Abbot Studios is requesting an increase from the original EL010668 contract of $91,030.00 due to a change in the scope and unforeseen site conditions. Challenges that were faced dealt with underground fuel tank identification and removal, as well as water line and storm drainage redesign due to City requirements changing after project was in construction.
