Re: Dunns/Josephine Hotel Rehabilitation
Mr. Shriver,
Pursuant to our previous meetings relative to the above noted project, at your request, we are submitting
a revised Schedule of Values showing the adjusted budget line items which also includes line items for
additional work caused by factors beyond the original scope of the project. As discussed in our meetings,
and previously noted in communications to your office, these factors where never a part of the original
scope of work and require the project budget to be adjusted accordingly. The revision is to adjust the
budget by $245,800. In addition, we recommend that a 10% contingency be allocated and used only upon
the CRA's authorization. The justification of the revision is as follows:
1. Unforeseen Conditions: The original scope of work was to remove the partition walls and create
rooms with individual toilets, showers, and air-conditioning as per the original criteria sketch
provided by your office. Also, the roof was to be repaired at a location that leaked. During the
demolition of the partition walls of the rooms, it was discovered that the floor elevations of each
room were not level. After exploratory demolition of the subfloor, it was observed that the wood
flooring had rot beyond repair on both floors of each building. This necessitated a complete gut
demolition of the first and second wood flooring and base. The gut demolition was not part of the
original scope of work. Like the wood sub -floor, during the repair of the roof, it was discovered
that the roof sub -straight and membrane was deteriorated in several locations, beyond repair.
This necessitated the replacement of the roofs on each building.
2. Structural Reinforcements: Upon completion of the gut demolition it was observed that the
structural integrity of the walls required reinforcement due to the failure of the original building
materials and age of the building. Steel beams, columns, and reinforcements were installed to
ensure the structural stability of the buildings.
3. Design Criteria Improvements: Certain criteria improvements were agreed to be implemented
since they added needed value to the project.
a. The original scope of work specified the relocation of the existing windows; however, it
was agreed to change the windows to impact resistant windows.
b. The two buildings were at different elevations. To tie both buildings together and
facilitate a smooth transition from one building to the other, it was agreed to demolish
the stairs in the lower outdoor corridor between the two buildings and raise the area to
create a level courtyard.
c. The original scope of work did not include the improvement of the space previously used
as a kitchen/take out restaurant. It was agreed that this space will be improved and be
used as a conforming space of the facility.
d. Other elements include facade improvements and finish material improvements. The
facade improvements will enhance the building's facade to the level of other

developments along the main corridor of NW 3`d Ave. The finish material improvements
will be in alignment with the use of the facility.
4. Building Department Request: The City of Miami fire review required the installation of a fire
suppression system. The original scope of work did not include this requested system.
5. Security: Given the fact that the buildings are getting ever dose to completion, as we install more
equipment, electrical and finishes, the buildings are more vulnerable to theft and vandalism. It is
important that an element of security is added to safe guard the investment that has been applied
to the project.
As you are aware, most of the aforementioned work has been installed in order not to further delay the
project. The funds in the budget revision will not only replenish the funds that have been used but will
also complete other items such as the fire protection system design and installation which is currently
underway.
We look forward to the noted revisions. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
us.
Sincerely,
