ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Cler~/~ Approved by Finance: PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA this 16~th day of January LIAMS, MAYOR CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-263-3014 ~ MEMORANDUM TO: FROM- DATE: Linda Snow, City Manager Jack La Shot, Public Works Manager January 9, 2002 SUBJECT- ARFF/SRE Facility design fee increase We have known for several months that there would be a request from RIM Architects to increase the design fee associated with the referenced facility now under construction. Due to the busy construction season, determining additional costs incurred, negotiation, and the need to get FAA approval, we are just now in a position to present the City Council with a resolution for approval to increase our contract with RIM to cover these costs. The final recommended fee increase is $84,000. This was arrived at after considerable negotiation and has been approved by FAA for funding. The fee increase basically. covers an increase in the size of the building over the original concept, the addition of a snow melt system, an equipment interchange facility, and a fuel dispensing system. There were also adjustments to the original schedule to accommodate available funding. The contract increase will cover all RIM direct costs and sub-consultant fees. Please consider placing this item on the agenda for the January 16, 2002 meeting. A representative from RIM will be at the meeting to answer questions. Let me know if you would like to discuss this.

Based upon our review of the justifications and our recent conversations, the increased design fees appear to be necessary and reasonable. It is understood that the increased fees amount to $84,000.00. The FAA concurs and agrees with the change in design fees associated with the Kenai ARFF/SRE facility (AlP grant 3-02-0412-2600). These increased design costs are AlP eligible and can be claimed within a grant amendment in accordance with special condition number 10 of the Grant Agreement dated August 4, 2000. Based upon our telephone conversation, you would be-amending the grant at project close-out. Please submit a final amendment request letter within the project close-out package which outlines the increased design costs and any other applicable cost overruns associated with the project. ~if you have any further questions feel free to contact me at 271-5460. Brad Gadand, FAA Project Manager Airports Division Reply Separator Subject: ARFF/SRE Facility design fee increase Author: <jlashot@ci.kenai.ak. us> Date: 12/21/01 9:39 AM Hello Brad, As we discussed yesterday on the phone, the City of Kenai would like to request FAA approval, and agreement as to grant eligibility, a fee increase in the design contract to RIM Architects for the referenced project. The total recommended fee increase, after extensive negotiation is $84,000. Matt Vogel of RIM has sent you four articles of correspondence dated March 21, 2001, June 8,2001, December 12, 2001, and December 17, 2001. These letters explain the masons for requesting the increase and how we arrived at the final figure. The March 21, 2001 letter best explains the increase in project scope and scheduling changes that precipitated increased costs. The December 12, 2001 letter represents the last reasoning and the agreed upon amount of the increase. \Please let me know if you need further information. I can also be reached ~at 283-8234. Thanks,
