Hickey Pena Architects for La Presa Park Change Order
Submitted for:	Cesar Guerra	Submitted By:	Cesar Guerra
Department:	Purchasing

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a change order to the professional services contract with Hickey Pena Architects for La Presa Park project in an amount not to exceed $6,750.00, and authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Commissioner Jesse Gonzalez, Pct. 1; La Presa Community Center Project Bond Account #3045-6310-001-474501]

Issue: This project was placed on hold contingent upon the successful award of a State Park grant that would have matched the current project budget dollar for dollar. Unfortunately, the grant application was not approved. Commissioner Gonzalez is requesting minor modifications to the overall design prior to the project being placed out for competitive bids again.

Solution: Authorize the change order in the amount of $6,750.00 to make the design modifications which includes construction phase management.

Result: Proceed with final design, plans and specifications of overall project scope. Proceed with bid solicitation once changes are finalized and turned over to the Purchasing Agent.

Background:

La Presa Project was temporally placed on hold contingent upon the approval of a State park grant submitted by Economic Development. The grant would have doubled the project budget. Unfortunately the grant was not approved. Commissioner Gonzalez is requesting minor modifications to the project and will require a change order to existing plans and specifications.

The construction contract to Altius Group, Inc. for the Presa Park project was rescinded since the funding may have potentially doubled the award. To ensure a fair and transparent process for all bidders the project will be put out for bids again.

Previous Court Action:

Approval to rescind prior award to Altius Group, Inc. for the construction of the Presa Park project due to grant application for additional funding.
