FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed agreement amendment increases compensation to Van Sickle & Rolleri LLC by $7,742.02 for their procurement of additional signage and additional time spent on the project. This is a General Fund expense and can be absorbed in the current Operating Budget for Parks and Community Services. DESCRIPTION: On February 16, 2016, the City Council passed Resolution No. 21-16 approving a Consulting Services Agreement with Van Sickle & Rolleri LLC for the Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center Exhibit Design, Build and Installation, and approved a budget change authorizing payment of $300,000 from the General Fund. The Consulting Services Agreement had an original expiration date of December 31, 2016, and called for museum exhibits to be installed by November 1, 2016. However, there were certain delays that added to the timeframe necessary to construct the improvements which resulted in additional expenses and time on the Van Sickle & Rolleri LLC contract. Page 2 of 2 Additionally, in April, Staff requested to have Van Sickle & Rolleri LLC design and fabricate an exterior sign after learning that PRFTA wa s unable to create a sign for the facility. The sign, which was outside of the scope of the original agreement, cost $3,884.60 for design, fabrication and labor. The cost is included in this Amendment. Staff is requesting that City Council extend the Consulting Services Agreement term of service, scope and compensation for work already performed in good faith. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
