Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Approve an amendment to the existing Project Consultancy & Design Services Funding Agreement for Harvey Insurance Solutions, Inc. for the improvement project located at 20/26 NW 6th Avenue, CRA sub-area #3, to extend the termination date.
Body
Background:
Harvey Insurance Solutions, Inc. was formed by Owner, Mr. Christopher Harvey. The Owner was awarded funding assistance under the Project Consultancy & Design Services Program for an improvement project located within the building located at 20/26 NW 6th Avenue (Building) for an amount not to exceed $9,500; the Building is owned by Hatcher Construction and Development, Inc., and was developed through a Ground Lease Agreement with the CRA within CRA sub-area #3.
The Owner is leasing a suite within the Building to provide insurance related services to the general public. Funding assistance was requested to design interior office space that maximizes the available square footage of the suite, allowing the most efficient and flexible layout for a variety of functions necessary to provide the services to be offered by the Owner. The completed designs and plans produced under the Project Consultancy & Design Services Program will be used so that the Owner can apply for the Site Development Assistance Funding Program to help with the actual construction and improvement costs.
At this time, the Owner is requesting an extension to the termination date of the approved Project Consultancy & Design Services Funding Assistance Agreement (Level 2 Design Services). The current termination date is September 3, 2024, and the Owner has requested a 90-day extension to complete the designs and plans.
CRA Staff recommends the approval of a Second Amendment to the Project Consultancy and Design Services Funding Agreement to extend the termination date from September 3, 2024, to December 2, 2024.
