Staff Report
Approval of Contract Amendment No. 1 to Contract HA25760A — Laguna Palms Rehab
Page 2of2
November 8, 2007
The Laguna Palms project is now 75% complete and is scheduled for completion in January
2008. As part of the renovation process, staff has encountered unforeseen conditions including
structural modifications requiring re -engineering to bring the buildings into full compliance with
new building codes. In addition, minor interior modifications to floor plans, the addition of a fire
sprinkler protection system, and a complete rewire of all units has impacted the completion
date. Therefore, staff is requesting approval of an amendment to the construction management
services contract in the amount of $34,855 to allow Vanir Construction Management to continue
to oversee the construction through project completion.
The original contract total plus the proposed Amendment No. 1 of $34,855 for construction
management services rendered on the Laguna Palms Project is 3.3% of the overall contract
price, which is well within industry standards for construction management services.
The additional term and cost will take us through completion of the project to include closeout.
Based on the additional scope of work added to this project, staff recommends approval of the
amendment for construction management services with Vanir Construction Management.
