Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute a contract amendment with RND Architects, PA in the amount of $14,470 for a total revised contract amount of $242,669 for extended architectural and engineering design services required to address water intrusion discovered at the northern stair tower of Stanford L. Warren Library.
As interior renovations at SL Warren Library were wrapping up, pooling water was discovered in the lower level of the north stair tower after the Hurricane Helene rain event. RND Architects was tasked with conducting an investigation to determine the source, which was traced back to failing water proofing membrane applied during the 2004 addition/renovation to the library. With this discovery, RND Architects was then asked to provide a design solution and extended construction administrative services required for the repairs that were beyond the original scope of the project.
Funding for this fee amendment is available within the existing capital project account for the Stanford L. Warren Library envelope repairs.
