Amount: $74,000.00

Due to the size and complexity the project is broken down into multiple parts over multiple years requiring the following additional AE Services:

Phase 1 includes bidding permanent repairs to the parking lot deck. Due to bids exceeding the estimated budget for this work the District revised the scope of work to making safe using temporary shoring. E&R was asked to also provide initial studies for temporary, however the District later had designs and the construction of temporary shoring completed by others under an Emergency Declaration. Although, the temporary work is completed, permanent repairs will be sought through alternative designs under a new capital project.

Phase 2 includes developing a separate bid document, conducting Bidding & Negotiation and Construction Administration services for the GC Window Contract replacement work. E&R was also required to re-bid the GC Window Contract after the District recommended rejecting the initial bids. Work is scheduled to start summer 2024 through May 2025.

Phase 3 includes developing separate bid documents, conducting Bidding & Negotiation and Construction Administration services GC, HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical Contracts for roof replacement, HVAC upgrades for Main Office Suite and Cafeteria, ADA upgrades to select toilet rooms and window AC upgrades for all classrooms and requisite abatement. Work is scheduled to start summer 2024 through May 2025.

The Boiler replacement and HVAC Controls scope of work is being deferred for investigations and completion under the District’s upcoming Districtwide Energy Performance Services Contract.
