Coconut Creek Lyons Road Project

 

The amended budget makes the following adjustments:

· Increases the Design Consultant on Project B-23-CP-FL-0383 by $75,416.82, from the Approved Budget of $330,564.00 to $405,980.82

· Decreases the Contingency on Project B-23-CP-FL-0383 by $75,416.82, from the Approved Budget of $228.726.00 to $153,359.18

 

The MTECC Team submitted the Project scope of services to the five design consultant teams in the design engineering services (DES) library. All five DES firms proposed. A team of experts from the City of Coconut Creek reviewed and ranked the proposals. The MTECC Executive Director reviewed and accepted the ranking. The MTECC Contracting Officer requested a fee proposal from the top ranked DES firm, Marlin Engineering.

 

A team of MTECC and City of Coconut Creek experts negotiated the proposed staffing, staff hours and overall fee with the top ranked proposer, Marlin Engineering. This final

fee was broken into a Fixed Fee of $313,041.74, and optional services of $92,939.08. The City and MTECC in discussions with Marlin Engineering determined there were service areas such as landscape architectural, utility location, and related items that will be needed, but the extent and timing of those services will not be known until the design services are more advanced. The optional services are identified as site work and the number of sites will be identified and this will define the final amount to be allocated under the optional services. The MTECC and City Team will have to agree on these prior to any funds be allocated from optional services. Any funds not required will be reallocated upon completion of the Design Consultant phase of the project to the construction phase of the Project.
