Analysis
The preliminary design of PlayGrand Adventures was a component of the EPIC under contract with HKS Architects. TBG Partners, a subconsultant for HKS was responsible for design of the PlayGrand Adventures project. Based on the near completion of the EPIC buildings scope, it was determined to streamline design services and the staff negotiated a revised fee for services with TBG Partners. The fee will include completion of design, bidding negotiations, and construction contract administration for a fee not to exceed $320,700.
Also on this Council agenda is item 18-7890, awarding a preconstruction services contract with Hill and Wilkinson Construction. It is anticipated the construction will begin in the Summer of 2018 and completion by the Spring of 2019.
Chapter 252, Section 022 of the Local Government Code provides for the exemption to competitive bidding when the expenditure is for the purchase of Professional Services such as these.
