At the March 25, 2024 regular meeting, the City Commission awarded the design contract for the Presque Isle Bandshell to AWH Architects, LLC of Minneapolis, Minnesota in the amount of $99,760.
The Commission previously approved two AWH change orders. One for $21,300 for geotechnical assessment, 3D drawings and additional design work and a second for additional construction administration for the landscape architect, structural engineer and general oversight in the amount of $27,280.
AWH is requesting a third change order for additional design requests from City Band regarding lighting, risers and sound systems as well as unforeseen subsoil conditions and a lengthy County permitting process. The amount requested with this change order is $15,000.
Generally professional services are 10% or less of the project total. With the increase in size and scope of the project from the professional services request for proposals, total contract with change orders comes to $163,340 or approximately 7.8% of the total project costs.
