Approve Suffolk Construction Second Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment for
Construction of City Hall Municipal Project Park in the Amount of $1,625,460.00 (GSA
Transmittal 2/19/04, Amendment, Exhibit I, Attachment 1)
Rick Gonzalez, REG Architects, gave an update on the Municipal Complex, and described the
park's amenities.
The City Manager said the balance of the unexpended funds would be used for park
contingencies only if needed; and that he had no further information on the adjacent County
park.
Mr. Gonzalez said tot lots do not have to have a cover.
Mr. Hill requested clarification that the guaranteed maximum amount of $1,625,460 is for
Suffolk's construction of this park including everything listed in the backup, and the City
Manager concurred, however, said that there could be future 3urchases of vending machines or
ancillary items for the concession area at a later date.
Damian Gilliams, 1623 US 1, Sebastian, asked if an engineering value report was done or if any
meetings were held with representatives of the architect, contractor and City to try to try to
reduce costs. Mr. Gonzalez said representatives met on several occasions to analyze costs
and try to keep costs down.
The City Attorney, in response to Mr. Giliiams' inquiry as to why Council did not vote to take 2.4
million out and redirect it, clarified that no money was ever "put in" nor was there a vote by
Council on the original planning document which was merely a tool used to determine how
much staff recommended to bond from the sales tax revenues. He said staff merely
recommended that funds be shifted from one project to another and there was no action
required to move it since there was no action to put it in to begin with.
TAPE I - SIDE II (8:00 p.m.)
Mr. Gilliams read a City Clerk letter in response to his public records request for a document
showing Council action to remove $900,000 from later estimates for the project.
Mr. Hill said Council gives its authority for funding when it approves the guaranteed maximum
price for the municipal complex facilities and park projects.
Mr. Gilliams was removed by Lieutenant Morris at the request of Mayor Barnes by his refusal to
leave the podium at the expiration of his ten minutes public input allotment.
MOTION by Hill/Coniglio

Construction Manager at Risk Services Contract between the City and Suffolk Construction

Authorize Transfer of Funds as Recommended by Staff and Approve Desiqn/Build
Construction Services Aqreement Contract with Holland Builders of South Florida, Inc.
for $1,850,480 (Airport Transmittal 2/18/04, Aqreement)
The Airport Director said he would present the design with representatives of Holland Builders,
CE Block and Mosby and Associates. It was noted that the $1,950,000 was the budget for
construction only and not furnishings.
The City Attorney read recommended revisions for the "Holland Builders Design/Build
Construction Services Agreement". (see copy of amended agreement attached to these
minutes)
Mr. Coniglio asked about public access to offices, and the Airport Director said the public would
always have access to engineering and public works. Mr. Barczyk expressed concern about
access from the airside bathroom into office areas. Mr. McCollum said the entire building would
be able to run on generator power as he recommended.
Fred Clemente, 302 Easy Street, Sebastian, asked if emergency equipment would be
accessible to the general public. The Airport Director said the City's hurricane plan has not
been finalized so it has not yet been determined when operating as a command center, but that
equipment would probably not be open to the public during times of crisis.
MOTION by Coniglio/Hill

Approve Ranking and Authorize Staff to Proceed with Stormwater EnqineerinR Service
Contract Negotiations with Two Highest Firms (Enqineerinq Transmittal 2/17/04)
The City Manager described the interview process and noted a correction to the ranking for
Berryman & Henigar, Inc. to 450 rather than 448 as noted in the recommendation.
Mr. Barczyk said he would like to see individual scores as a part of the recommendation. The
City Manager said he would do so in the future, and that those rankings are available in City
Hall.
Gordon England, Berryman & Henigar, Inc., Cocoa Beach, commended staff for their efforts in
the past several weeks. He noted that his firm scored slightly lower due to the fact that they are
not in the local area, described his experience as a stormwater engineer and requested that the
City utilize Berryman & Henigar as its third consulting engineering.
Amy Adams, associate of Mr. England and a grant writer with experience in writing grants for
the City in the past, described her experience, and cited two 319 grants which were submitted
by CDM for the City of Sebastian which were not funded.
The City Manager responded that the 319 grants were not obtained at that time due to the fact
that the City had not completed its master plan and will be reapplied for; and said that the
competitive consultant negotiating process had been followed properly.

Any discrepancies found between the Plans and Specifications and site conditions, or any
errors or omissions in the Plans or Specifications, shall be immediately reported to the
Engineer and City. The Engineer shall promptly analyze the validity and seriousness of
4
the claimed condition and authorize Contractor to undertake correction of any such error
or omission in writing, or otherwise direct Contractor. Any work done by the Contractor
after its discovery of such discrepancies, errors or omissions without consulting with
Engineer shall be done at the Contractor's risk.
Any correction or errors or omissions in the Plans shall be made by the Contractor,
subject to approval by the Engineer, when such correction is necessary for the proper
fulfillment of their intention as construed by him. Where said correction of errors or
omissions, except as provided in the next two (2) paragraphs below', adds to the amount
of work to be done by the Contractor and was based upon inaccurate material
representations within the Specifications, compensation for said additional work shall be
made under the Paragraph 10.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK below, except where the
additional work may be classed under some item of work for which a unit price is
included in the proposal. Where said corrections are not due to inaccurate representations
in the Specifications, said work shall be done at Contractor's cost.
The fact that specific mention of any part of work is omitted in the Specifications,
whether intentionally or otherwise, when the same is usually and customarily required to
complete fully such work as is specified herein, will not entitle the Contractor to
consideration in the matter of any claim for extra compensation, but the said work must
be installed or done the same as if called for by both the Plans and Specifications.
All work indicated on the Plans and not mentioned in the Specifications or vice versa,
and all work and material usual and necessary to make the Work complete in all its parts,
whether or not they are indicated on the Plans or mentioned in the Specifications, shall be
furnished and executed the same as if they were called for by both the Plans and

is based. If such notification is not given and the City is not afforded by the Contractor a
method acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the
Contractor hereby waives its request for such extra compensation. The City is not
obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not notified as described above. The
Contractor may refuse to perform additional work requested by the City until an
appropriate agreement is executed by the parties. Such notice by the Contractor and the

Contractor's cost or the time required to perform any part of the work under this
Agreement, whether or not changed as a result of such conditions, the City shall approve
an equitable adjustment and will according modify the Agreement in writing. Any claim
for an equitable adjustment of the contract price based upon differing site conditions is
specifically conditioned upon prior written approval of the additional compensation by
City. Said equitable adjustment shall constitute full compensation for all claims relating
to the differing conditions, including delay damage claims.
No claim of the Contractor under this clause shall be allowed unless the Contractor has
given the notice required herein. Further, no claim by the Contractor for an equitable
adjustment shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under this Agreement.
