Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve Amendment No. 1 to BRPH Architects Engineers Inc., for the New Elementary School at Dresden project for an additional design and engineering fee in the amount of $1,825,000.
Why: Approval of Amendment No. 1 provides for an additional design and engineering fee in the amount of $1,825,000 supporting the increased project cost and duration due to the construction phasing of the New Elementary School at Dresden (formerly Dresden Elementary School).
Approval of Amendment No. 1 meets Strategic Goal Area 6: Organizational Excellence
Details: On February 13, 2023, the Board of Education approved the award of Architectural and Engineering Services to BRPH Architects Engineers Inc. for the design of the New Elementary School at Dresden Project in the amount of $2,280,000.00. This fee was based on 6% of the stated cost limitation (SCL) of $38,000,000.
A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $72,323,774.00 was awarded by the Board of Education on May 6, 2024, to Winter Construction for construction of the New Elementary School at Dresden.
The approval of Amendment No. 1 is for a fee increase in line with the increased project cost and duration due to construction phasing of the New Elementary School at the former Dresden Elementary site.
Financial impact: The financial impact of the Amendment No. 1 for the additional design and engineering fee is a budget allocation from Program Contingency cost code 423.99.99.00.602423.752.0000 of $1,825,000.00. This amount will then be allocated to the Architect cost code SP5FCCON. 36235.ARCHITECT under the voter- approved E-SPLOST V Program.
