Original Award Amount: $709,289.00
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders through this CO #3: $319,598.00
New Contract Total: $1,028,887.00

Meeting in regular session on July 24, 2008, the Board approved awarding a Task Order to Atkins North America, Inc. (formerly PBS&J) for the Southwest Escambia County Sports Complex. This included design and preparation for an approximately 217-acre project located on the southwest side of Escambia County, near the north end of Bauer Road. The scope included designing the sports complex, obtaining required permits, and development of construction drawings/documents for the project. Plan amenities include youth athletic fields (baseball, softball, soccer and football), playground units, parking/access, site lighting, a stormwater management system, a nature trail and associated athletic buildings (prototypical concession/restroom and meeting/storage buildings.)

The original design fees for the Southwest Escambia County Sports Complex were negotiated using the State of Florida’s Fee Guide Calculator for Architectural and Engineering Services, based on a construction budget of $4 million. The additional fees approved for Change Order #1 ($172,698) were requested in order to provide complete master plan design documents for permitting agencies, and bid documents, estimated at $7 million. It was preferred by environmental permitting agencies and County staff that the entire master plan be permitted, to establish environmental impacts, allow for future features to be constructed as budget allows, identify the extent of the overall conservation easement, and preserve upland areas for future development. Change Order #2 added time to the task order so that the Engineer could proceed through advertisement, bidding assistance and construction.

Change Order #3, in the amount of $146,900.00, will provide construction administration (CA) services throughout the duration of the project that were not included in the original Scope of Services. The additional CA services will include utility coordination, quality control of the contractor and his schedule, compliance with the stormwater pollution prevention plan, maintenance of traffic on Bauer Road, building construction, final certifications, daily activity monitoring, electrical construction monitoring, surveying and independent testing.

Total cost of services, in the amount of $1,028,887.00, is 11.66% of the construction bid, which is 4.34% lower than expected for design and CEI services for typical engineering projects.
