<br />REQ.l.T FOR CITY COUNCIL AGLA ITEM <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: September <br />Requested By: Doug Kneuppe Department: Planning <br />Report XX Ordinance <br />Exhibits: Ordinance <br />Agreement Between Owner and Architect <br /> <br /> <br />Summary & Recommendation <br />The 2000 General Obligation Bond Fund (041) provides $750,000 for the construction of Fire <br />Station No, 4. This facility will be located at the comer of S. Broadway and McCabe Road. Joe <br />Sease, Director of Emergency Services, Mike Boaze, Fire Chief, and myself have met with Mike <br />Porterfield of Randall --Porterfield Architects. We visited fire stations that Randall- Porterfield <br />designed in the cities of Webster and League City. This architectural firm appears to possess <br />sufficient knowledge and expertise to design these type facilities. <br /> <br />Attached is our standard Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Professional Services. <br />This agreement provides for a lump sum fee of $63,750 which is 8-1/2% of the estimated <br />construction cost. In addition, $2,000 will be allocated for reimbursable expenses. This fee is <br />in-line with fees other architects have received on recent projects. Funds for architectural <br />services will come from the previously mentioned Fund 041. All three phases leading up to <br />bidding are estimated to take 6 months, which includes City staff review time, <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement <br />Between Owner and Architect with Randall- Porterfield Architects, Inc. for design of Fire <br />Station No.4 and authorizing $65,750 to fund said Agreement. <br /> <br />Availability of Funds: <br />General Fund <br />Capital Improvement <br />Account Number: Fund 041 <br /> <br />W ater/W astewater <br />XX Other <br />Funds Available: XX Yes <br /> <br />No <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br /> <br />~~\,~ <br />Robert T.
