<br />
<br />In April of2000, the estimated cost of the building rose to $2,942,000.00 for the same size
<br />building, based on adjustments that included utility work, expansion of the basement, and stone
<br />exterior. In March of that year, we were sent a letter by Architectural Alliance alerting us to the
<br />fact that they would be asking for an increase in their fee, adjusted according to Article 11.2.1.
<br />
<br />At this time, it seems to come down to what Architectural Alliance should be paid, not if they
<br />should be paid. I've done the following calculations, based on the contract language, and my
<br />understanding of the relationship between the architect and owner. I've deducted out $315,000
<br />from the $2,942,000 cost for the stone to bring it into alignment with the previously mentioned
<br />cost of$I,887,500.00. .
<br />
<br />20% of8.6% of $2,627,000 $45,184.00
<br />Minus 20% of8.6% of$I,887,500. 32,465.00
<br />Difference 12,719.00
<br />Add back the Re,bid Assistance Fee 8,125.00
<br />New Total $20,844.00
<br />Difference from requested Architectural Alliance $1,445.00
<br />amount of $22,289.00,
<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />(This is basically 20% of 8.6% difference between the $2,711.00,00 that Peter
<br />Vesterholt uses, and the $2,627,000 number that 1 use in comparing the
<br />construction phase and re,bid assistance without stone.)
<br />
<br />The architect and the City have agreed at this time, that the re,bid assistance fee should be the
<br />same amount, based on the fact that the scope of services shouldn't have expanded once the
<br />drawings and changes in building design had been completed. The architect was paid an
<br />additional $25,000 for the expansion of the basement, the inclusion of the windows, and the
<br />movement of the offices from the second floor to the main level.
<br />
<br />I will not be able to be in attendance at the meeting on February 20th. Mr. Post will be in
<br />attendance, and I will update him to allow him to answer any of your questions at the meeting. 1
<br />will also contact you by phone on Friday to properly explain this before the meeting,
