Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Schorr Architects, Inc for professional architectural and engineering consulting services for various City renovation projects. This would serve as a blanket contract for renovations to City building and building components.

The Office of Construction Management solicited Requests for Statements of Qualifications, due on April 20, 2011. The City received twenty (20) proposals from the following firms(3 *MBE, 1 + FBE, 1 ^AS1): Bird Houk, MA Architects, SHP, *Harris Design, Schorr Architects Inc, *HKI Associates, CDM, MS Consultants Inc, Shremshock Architects Inc, Beradi+Partners, Design Group, JL Bender Inc, X-CEL Engineering LLC, Phillip Markwood Architects Inc, Braun Steidl, ^CTL Engineering, Feinknopf Macioce Schappa Architects, Heapy Engineering, *Dynamix Engineering, and +Hardlines Design Company.

As bid, this contract may be requested to be modified as additional projects and resources are identified over time. Establishing a blanket contract is an efficient mechanism by which smaller renovation projects can be scoped and bid. Actual construction projects designed under this contract come back to Council for authorization.

Emergency action is requested so that needed renovations within the City may be accomplished as quickly as possible.

Schorr Architects Contract Compliance No. 03-0499713; expiration date February 9, 2013.

In order to spend these funds, it is necessary to authorize transfers between projects in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund and the Safety Capital Improvement Fund and to amend the 2011 Capital Improvement Budget.
