Rationale: KG+D Architects, P.C.
Amount: $258,000.00
Scope: To provide Architectural/Engineering Services for the Capital Project 10826, “Classroom Addition” at School 30.

Overview:
To assign KG+D Architects, P.C. under their existing “On-Call” Architectural/Engineering (A/E) Services Contract No. 2020-0630, for Capital Project 10826, “Classroom Additions” at School 30 for the Smart Schools Bond Act application.

The School 30 classroom addition include three (3) pre-kindergarten sections, three (3) kindergarten sections with one dedicated for Special Education, ADA Unisex Toilet per floor and Elevator. Building improvements will include extension & alterations of Main Entrance Vestibule with security check point and exterior canopy, new window AC Unit for all classrooms of the existing building, upgrade Classroom 19 to Science Room, and upgrades to lockers and finishes in select existing classrooms.

This resolution is to assign the Kick-off, Schematic Design and Design Development phases to KG+D, along with estimated reimbursables for the amount of $258,000. The Construction Documents & SED Permitting phase will be assigned via amendment to KG+D subject to the proceeds of the 2024 bond sale. Proposals for a second amendment will be solicited for the Bidding and Construction Administration phases once the project is permitted by SED and fully funded.

KG+D will be taking over and utilizing the initial design originally started by Greenman-Pedersen, Inc (GPI). GPI was tasked to provide a six-classroom addition based on a modular design. GPI only completed schematic design and design development phases. GPI’s contract expired on December 31, 2022, and GPI was unable to continue the project. As such, School Facilities Management is recommending the project design be taken over by KG+D.

Total fees for GPI was in the amount of $504,600. Design fees for completed work and reimbursables totaled $191,385.50. A credit will be issued in the amount of $313,214.50.
