TO: Chairman & Members of the Finance & Administration Committee
FROM: Mr. Klaas Degroot, C.G.A. , Treasurer
Mr. David J.D. Sims , Q.C. , Acting Town Adminstrator
DATE: Report - March 2, 1981
Meeting - March 3, 1981
SUBJECT: Baseline Community Centre - Architect Fees
ITEM: TR-14-81
Recommendation:
"That the Finance and Administration Committee recommend to Council
that Mr. Grant Robertson's fees as Architect for the Baseline Community
Centre be approved at 9% of the estimated project cost and that his estimate
of the project cost be recognized 'at $149,500. "
Report:
Mr. Robertson in a letter to Mr. McIlroy dated February 10, 1981 asked
for an adjustment in his fees based on a new estimate of the cost of construction
which he estimated would increase by 62% from $139,500 to $149,500. Mr.
Robertson was retained on June 5, 1980 under contract for a fixed amount of
$10,800 which was based on an estimate of $123,500. Subsequently the project
was revised to $139,500 with the addition of a basement.
We agree with Mr. Robertson's submission that the scope of the project has
changed beyond the original contract terms and should therefore be amended
accordingly.
