Discussion and possible action to approve Contract Amendment No. 002 – Phase II to the Professional Services Contract with Juan Homero Sanchez, Inc. dba JHS Architects, for the Webb County Fairgrounds project in accordance with the Architectural/Engineering (A/E) Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $1,048,315 based on 5% of the estimated CMAR cost of work including Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) as per the Commissioner’s Court Meeting on March 20, 2025.  The additional A/E stipulated fee adjustment is 5% of the additional net project budget of $25M minus Owner Development Costs and prior fees resulting in a net A/E fee basis of $20,966,304. [Fund #3901]
 
Issue: Overall scope of the Fairgrounds Project has grown to include an additional $25M for Phase II.  As stipulated in Article 6.1 of the Agreement, additional fees shall be adjusted in conformity with the significant changes to the Owner’s initial program, size, complexity, schedule, and project budget for the Cost of the Work and FF&E.
 
Solution: Approve Contract Amendment No. 002 – Phase II so architect fees of 5% of the additional scope can be included in the overall project.
