Description:

The Office of Capital Programs is requesting a fee increase for the architect of record, O & S Associates, for professional design services provided for the Bayard Taylor Elementary roof replacement project. The additional design fee was necessitated by the increase from the estimated project cost from $910,000 to $1,500,00 due to increased scope. The resulting design fee increased from $69,750 to $114,000. The contract scope was increased which required a construction time extension. The administrative design services period have been extended to align to the new construction completion date.
