Title
Athletics Operations Maintenance Facility Project - Construction Administration
History
On July 18, 2022, the Village Board approved the proposal from Robert Juris Associates Architects (RJA) for A/E Services for the Athletics Operations Maintenance Facility Project (see 2022-0551). RJA completed the Schematic Design Documents in October 2022, and Construction Documents (CDs) in December 2023. The construction of this project was awarded to Krause Construction on March 18, 2024, via RFP 24-009 (see 2024-0183).
Since the completion of the CDs for this project, RJA was acquired by the architect firm DLA Architects, Ltd. (DLA). Unfortunately, the Public Works Department, in coordination with the Village attorney, have not been able to come to terms with DLA regarding re-establishing the Master Service Agreement (MSA) that previously existing with RJA.
Utilizing the same architect who completed the project CDs to also provide Construction Administration (CA) services would be ideal to ensure project efficiency to review submittals, conduct site inspections, answer RFIs, and address other design issues. Public Works Department requested DLA to provide a proposal and an AIA B102 contract for CA services only. An AIA Document B102-2017 is a standard form of agreement between Owner and Architect that provides agreement terms only. The Village attorney has indicated that using this type of contract in this instance given the history of the project would be permissible, subject to Village Attorney review.
As such, the Public Works Department is requesting approval from the Village Board to approve the proposal from DLA Architects, Ltd. in the amount of $40,000.00 for Construction Administration Services for the Athletics Operations Maintenance Facility Project.
