FOR THE CALIFORNIA VILLAS

PALM DESERT, CA 92260
DATE: J U N E 22, 2006
CONTENTS: CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT NO. R23980
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, that the Agency Board:
1) Authorize Contract Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. R23980 (PrestIVuksic
Architects) for additional architectural services, construction observations,
civil engineering, and reimbursables at 77-107 California Avenue in an
amount not -to -exceed $245,139 which is based on the attached proposal,
allowances and hourly rates; and
2) Authorize Chairman to execute such amendment and all necessary
documents to facilitate it.
Funds are available in Budget Year 2006-2007, Account No. 871-8680-466-4001.
Executive Summary:
Approval of this request will allow Prest/Vuksic architectural team complete design and construction
administration for the remaining phases of the California Villas renovation project. Their original
contract requires augmentation due to scope increases associated with asbestos abatement,
phasing of bidding and construction, and a detailed review of documents prepared by the
architectural firm that they replaced on the project.
Discussion:
The Agency owns a 141-unit complex at 77-107 California Avenue. Pursuant to previous
authorization, the prior architect's services on this project were terminated. In order to complete the
necessary consulting architectural work at the above property, staff retained Prest/Vuksic for
consulting architectural work, and architectural construction observation; their agreement was
approved by the Agency Board in July 2005. The Prest/Vuksic original contract was based on a

limited review of the incomplete construction documents. This resulted in a rough estimate of man-
hours needed to complete the design, and left questions on reimbursables and subconsultant
services needed. It was understood that errors and omissions discovered by a comprehensive
review would entitle the architect to submit a request for additional compensation to complete both
phases of the project. All parties now have a clear understanding of the overall project and what it
will take to complete it. Phase "A" (exterior building renovation) is currently underway, and if
additional services are approved, Phase "B" (site improvements and landscaping) would be
underway October 2006.
California Villas is currently performing exterior building renovations (Phase "A"), but until additional
services are awarded, the civil engineering for the site will not be completed. Staffs intentions are
to work with Prest/Vuksic to finish the Phase "B" drawings and to complete bid specifications in
order to go out to bid in September 2006. This contract amendment will cover the completion of
both phases of work through construction administration, and has subconsultant allowances built
into Prest/Vuksic's contract.
The overall contract amount considering the original architect's fees paid ($127,208), Prest/Vuksic
original contract ($183,600), and the proposed amendment amount ($245,139) is less than 7% of
the overall project budget, which is within industry standards. Therefore, staff recommends approval
of the Contract Amendment No. 1 to complete this exciting renovation project.

are reflected in this Amendment to the Original Contract.
Our original proposal stated that we would conduct a more comprehensive review of the drawings and

we have a better understanding of the state of the existing drawings. We have assessed the time that was
required to do the Phase "A" drawings, and have estimated the amount of time required to do the Phase `B"
drawings. These factors are reflected in this Amendment to the Original Contract.

fees from these consultants. These factors are reflected in this Amendment to the Original Contract.
