.. · The gross building area for the City Hall increased from our contract scope of 45,000 sf to 60,000 sf in the approved design (a 33% growth in area) due to the program requirementsand space needs desired by the City. Open vs. Closed Parking Garage: · The City requested that the parking structure be enclosed rather than open, resulting in increased cost for the structure, architectural wall materials and mechanical ventilation.This change was requested in order to visually hide the cars from view and better integrate the parking structure with the City Hall building. This change occurred late in the design effort requiring Spillis Candela DMJM to significantly modify the existing drawings and provide additional engineering efforts in order to mechanically ventilate the garage. These additional services were never invoiced to the City. Building Amenities: · Civic amenities such as the Council fountain, street paving, enhanced landscaping and enhanced exterior lighting were requested by the City to be maintained in the approved design. These are amenities that are traditionally associated with Civic Buildings and are commensurate with the quality of the adjacent new Collins Avenue developments being designed and constructed in Sunny Isles today. Value engineering efforts between the client. contractor and architect established the potential cost savings for these items, but the City's decision was to increase the construction budget and maintain these elements in the design. Durable Architectural Materials - Life Cyc:Ie Cost Benefits: · Enhanced and more durable building materials were requested by the City to be maintained in the approved design; these included architectural precast concrete rather than stucco for the main building envelope, granite panels rather than metal panel or stucco for the elevator / stair tower and glass mosaic tile rather than stucco for the Council Chamber exterior. Although requiring a greater up front cost, these materials will provide greater durability with lower maintenance costs over the life of the building.Value engineering efforts between the client. contractor and architect established the potential cost savings for these items but because of the issues mentioned above, the City decided to increase the construction budget and maintain these elements in the design. Our professional services contract, article 9 established the fee for architectural and engineering services. The table below reflects the contract amounts, the amounts actually spent. the contract multiplier and the overage incurred by SpiIIis Candela DMJM because of the above-described issues. The amount spent in excess of our contract fee to prepare architectural and engineering documents (Schematic and Construction Documents) for the City Hall and Tony Roma project is $191,902.
