C

Good
morning,
commissioners,
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
scott
dupree.
I'm
here
today
to
request
the
commission's
approval
to
amend
the
executed,
design
and
construction
administration
services
contract
with
design
lab
architects,
inc
called
design
lab
for
the
boston
centers
for
youth
and
families
curly
community
center
renovation
project.
D
This
matter
was
last
before
the
commission
on
march
2020,
when
the
commission
voted
to
amend
the
design
and
construction
administration
services
contract
for
this
project
to
design
lab
the
scope
of
the
contracted
design.
Work
includes
interior
and
exterior
renovations
to
the
curly
community
center.
The
first
amendment
was
for
additional
monies
to
address
the
need
for
increased
design
services.
D
The
additional
design
services
were
needed
due
to
the
project's
original
budget,
not
adequately
covering
the
cost
for
resiliency
measures.
Additional
mechanical
upgrades
and
escalation.
The
additional
services
were
increased
due
to
coastal
and
geotechnical
issues
that
arose
because
of
the
resiliency
study.
This
is
the
second
amendment
request
on
the
project
to
be
brought
before
the
commission.
D
The
amendment
is
for
additional
monies
to
address
the
need
for
increased
design
services.
The
additional
design
services
are
related
to
construction
administration,
along
with
additional
services
for
building
envelope
consultants
and
hazardous
material
material
consultants
for
unforeseen
conditions
that
have
arisen
during
the
project,
as
well
as
graphic
design
services
for
wayfinding
within
the
building.
This
amendment
also
extends
to
construction
administration
until
october.
First,
twenty
twenty
two.

Next
in
slides,
three
and
four,
you
can
see
the
ongoing
renovations
in
slide
three.
It
shows
the
new
walls
and
corridors
that
are
being
laid
out
in
the
work
that
is
being
completed
and,
lastly,
in
slide
four,
you
can
see
the
new
windows
that
are
being
installed
in
the
l
street
entrance
facade,
as
well
as
throughout
the
building.
D
D
However,
we
did
negotiate
down
the
additional
fees
to
8
percent
and
this
is
a
reflection
of
the
increase.
Furthermore,
this
vote
requested
includes
additional
service
contingencies
for
the
project.
This
increase
in
additional
services
is
to
cover
the
cost
of
hazardous
material
engineering
and
building
envelope
consultants,
as
well
as
design
services
for
wayfinding.
D
This
contingency
requested
is
for
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
five
dollars.
This
brings
the
total
budget,
the
additional
services
to
six
hundred
and
fifty
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
five
dollars
and
eighty
four
cents
of
significance.
Expenditures
of
the
funds
is
only
permitted
after
the
pfd
senior
management's
review
and
written
approval.

Only
one
response
was
received
after
the
first
advertisement,
the
pfd
legal
department
advised
that
pfd
should
review
the
requirements
set
forth
in
the
solicitation
to
determine
whether
any
requirement
currently
included
was
too
restrictive,
thereby
affecting
interest
and
number
of
submissions.
As
a
result,
in
order
to
garner
more
soqs
from
interested
firms,
the
project
was
re-advertised.
