HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Atkins North America was selected as the firm to provide the architectural and engineering design services for the development of the hangar facility to be utilized by VT MAE. The initial cost negotiated with Atkins for the work was based on a general schematic design developed while formulating the lease agreement with VT MAE. After commencement of the formal design activity, certain additional services were required. Additional inspection services were needed to ensure that the concrete for the apron area was being placed in accordance with the required plans and specifications, and additional design services were required to re-design a portion of the second level mezzanine area to include a break area and bathrooms. As the re-design for the mezzanine was done at the request of VT, they will reimburse the City for the cost.
These items have required Atkins North America to expend additional hours not anticipated in their original fee. The additional fees have been reviewed by Mott MacDonald as the Program Administrator and deemed to be fair and reasonable.
