Dear Dave,
e1-94
fax: 207-945-4449
I would like to thank you for considering Rich and Associates to continue the
design for expanding the Plaza Parking Structure and I apologize far not
responding with this proposal sooner. As I discussed with you on the phone, it
is not dust a matter of dusting off the drawings and reissuing them. For example,
the codes have changed since 1988, especially the addition of ADA and changes
to seismic. Also, the spandrel panels on the existing simcture were field
applied. For the expansion this would be very costly so we need to look at
alternatives. You have also requested that we look at a way to park the space
on the ground floor that was onginaily planned for occupied space.
Our fee includes architectural, structural engineering and mechanicallelectrical
engineering services. We will prepare correct documents (drawings and
specifications) review bids for the addition and perform normal construction
administration.
We are proposing a fee of 5% of the construction cost plus reimbursed
expenses. I would be happy to discuss with you another arrangement if this
method is not acceptable. From a schedule standpoint, we areable to begin this
work in January. Depending on the City's schedule, this project could be bid out
by the middle of spring.
Please call me with any questions about this proposal. Our otflce will be closed
next week for the holiday so if you want you can reach me at home -
248.486.8175. Have a good holiday.
Sincerely,
Richard! A. Rich
Executive Director

MEMORANDUM
To: Finance Committee Members
From: David N. Pellegrino, Purchasing Agent
Date: January 16, 2001
Re: Design Services Contract with Rich & Associates for expansion of
Pickering Square Parking Structure
On December 4, 2000, the Finance Committee approved the selection of Rich &
Associates to design the expansion of the parking garage. Rich & Associates designed
the original structure and the original plans incorporated some of the design features
required for the additional two levels of parking.
Richard Rich, Executive Director of Rich & Associates sent the attached letter with a
proposed fee of 5% of construction costs plus reimbursed expense.
I have reviewed this fee with other engineers and architects and everyone believes the
proposed fee to be reasonable. The attached chart of standard architectural fees
suggests that a fee of 6.9% of construction costs would be appropriate for parking
structures. The preliminary estimate of construction costs is $2.5 million to $2.8 million
which would result in a design fee of $125,000.00 to $140,000.00.
As Mr. Rich mentions in his proposal, there may be building code issues to address as
well as the seismic rating for the building's location. (If the seismic rating changes it
may impact the building design).
I am currently negotiating the terms and conditions of the design contract with Rick Rich
and its final form will be reviewed by the Legal Department and presented to the City
Council for final approval.
