ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES 09-04-13
 The Board considered an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with clark-hueseman for Architectural Services for the Public Works Facility. Sarah Plinsky, Assistant County Administrator, presented the item.

 Plinsky stated when the Phase I design work was approved, co-locating of the Public Works and Zoning and Codes operations were discussed but with no true programming for space placement. With a better understanding of the project, we have a better understanding of the completion costs. Initially, the estimate for the second phase of design work was $309,542. After approval of the schematic design in July, staff and the design team have developed the proposal for Phase II fees at $554,474, for a total design cost of $773,500. This is not an increase from the approved amount in the 13.9 million 2013 budget.

 Gaughan opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.

 Gaughan moved to approve the amendment for professional services agreement for architectural services for the new Public Works Facility in the revised amount of $773,500. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
