APPROVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING FOR ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE REDONDO BEACH TRANSIT CENTER PROJECT, JOB NO. 20120 FOR AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF $50,000 FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $65,000 FOR THE EXISTING TERM

This contract with Pacific Architecture and Engineering, Inc. ("PAC") was initiated to provide architectural support services during the construction of the City's Transit Center Project and was necessary to replace services anticipated to be provided by the original designer who has since withdrawn from the project. Architectural support services include overall coordination of the project's various professional disciplines to clarify design intent as requested by the Contractor. In addition, PAC provides responses to specific inquiries made by the contractor and solutions for unexpected changes in conditions related to building architecture and appurtenant facilities. At the time of contract initiation, an initial contract value was selected to allow services to commence with the beginning of construction. As time has elapsed, a better estimate of the work volume has been made and this amendment will increase the contract value to better estimate the rate of work required by the construction.
