Body
Background:
At the October 20, 2016 meeting, the CRA Board approved an agreement between Currie Sowards Aguila Architects, Inc. (CSA) and the Delray Beach CRA for Architectural Services for the Old School Square Center for the Arts Campus and Park (OSS) in the amount of not to exceed Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000.00), including out-of-pocket expenses.
Consensus was obtained concerning the Master Plan at the April 24, 2017 Joint City Commission and CRA Board Workshop. On May 3, 2017, the proposed Old School Square Master Plan received unanimous conceptual approval from the Historical Preservation Board (HPB).
On June 8, 2017, the First Amendment to the Agreement between CSA and the CRA, granting a sixty (60) day time extension or through July 29, 2017, was approved since the outstanding items required for City Commission approval was beyond CSA’s control.
On July 27, 2017, the Second Amendment to the Agreement between CSA and the CRA, granting a ninety (90) day time extension or through October 27, 2017, was approved since additional time was necessary to complete the scope of services. The City Commission approved the Master Plan on November 20, 2017.
Due to budgetary consideration, the CRA tolled the timing for the project completion date during the FY 2017-2018, and the CRA budgeted funds for reinstatement of the project as part of the FY 2018-19 City Capital Improvement Program. The CRA and CSA desire to reaffirm the provisions of the Original Agreement, as amended, extend the project completion date up to and including February 28, 2020 and to provide for further amendments to the Original Agreement.
Amendment to Agreement: The Third Amendment to the Agreement between CSA and the CRA is attached for the Board consideration concerning Phase I of the OSS Master Plan in the amount not to exceed $189,350.00. The plans will generally consist of the south, west, and north sides of the main campus and excludes the amphitheater, concession stand area, and park site. The Scope of Services in Exhibit A of the agreement includes the following:
