Description

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 163073 with Chasse Building Team, Inc. to provide additional Construction Manager at Risk Construction Services for the Children's Museum of Phoenix Expansion General Obligation Bond project. Further request to authorize execution of amendments to the agreement as necessary within the Council-approved expenditure authority as provided below, and for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional fee for services included in this amendment will not exceed $1 million.

 

Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to renovate and upgrade unfinished spaces in the historic Monroe School Building. The Capital Improvement Project intends to develop and finish areas that comply with building codes to transition approximately 28,000 square feet of building shell space to public exhibit, event, and support staff spaces.

 

This amendment is necessary to cover the additional cost for the Phase 1/Task 1 portion of this project. This amendment will provide additional funds to the agreement.

 

Contract Term

The term of the agreement remains unchanged, ending on November 30, 2030. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.

 

Financial Impact

The initial agreement for Preconstruction and Construction Services was approved for an amount not to exceed $4 million, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs. This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $1 million, for a new total amount not to exceed $5 million, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.

 

 

Funding for this amendment is available in the Arts and Culture Department's Capital Improvement Program budget utilizing the General Obligation Bond and/or project partner funds. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to the execution of any amendments. Payments may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the agreement termination.
