TO; Honorable Mayor and DATE: SP 3 19M Members of the City Commission SUBJECT: DINNER KEY MARINA RENOVATION AND EXPANSION - Additional Professional Services` t FROM: C e s a r H. O d i O REFERENCER: City Manager (For Commission Meeting ENCLOSURES: of September 11, 1986 ) It is recommended that a resolution be adopted ratifying, approving and confirming the City Manager's employment of William S. Teasdale for additional professional services within the original scope of services but for unforeseen additional work on the Dinner Key Marina Renovation and Expansion project plans in connection with the November 4, 1985 Agreement with said firm for a fee of $8,650; allocating funds therefor from the Dinner Key Marina Retained Earnings Fund. The City Commission by Resolution No. 85-835 on July 25, 1985, authorized the City Manager to negotiate an Agreement with William S. Teasdale, P.E., Consulting Engineers, to review and complete the existing unfinished structural plans for the Dinner Key Marina Renovation and Expansion project which were originally prepared by Greenleaf-Telesca, a firm that went into bankruptcy and - ceased doing business. An Agreement with William S. Teasdale was executed on November 4, 1986 and the professional services were to include checking of previous calculations, review of the adequacy of existing plans, emmnletino and sealing of the Dlans so that Dermits could be Resolution No. 85-835 allocated funding for the basic services but did not allocate funds for the additional services which were also within the original scope of services under the Agreement. At the time of the Agreement, the existing Greenleaf plans were represented as 95% complete and significant additional services were unforeseen. After a thorough review of the adequacy of the design and the existing plans, the consultant reported there would be substantial savings to the City in the construction phase if the structure were redesigned instead of trying to salvage the existing plans. By changing the main pier construction to precast modular concrete units and by the use of treated wood finger piers and decking, the estimated savings in construction alone would be approximately $461,000. In addition, there would be substantial savings in construction time and the resulting pier construction would be much more compatible with the requirements of the boats at the Dinner Key Marina. In order to capitalize on the potential construction savings and to expedite the project, the consultant is proceeding with the changes. It is therefore requested that $8,650 be allocated from the Dinner Key Marina Retained Earnings Fund to pay the fee for the additional professional services. DWC:AIP:bf
