Commissioners approve ICB design fee and small change orders for 5th Floor repairs
Summary
The board approved a $115,787 design fee for exterior column repairs at the ICB, preapproved $29,310 for construction administration, and approved two 5th Floor change orders totaling $15,785 for door and automatic door repairs.
Oklahoma County commissioners approved a series of infrastructure items on Feb. 24, including a $115,787 design fee to address exterior column issues at the ICB and two change orders on a separate 5th Floor project.
Infrastructure committee members said Miller Architects provided a report recommending fixes for the ICB exterior columns. Item 6 authorizes a $115,787 design fee; item 7 requests companion preapproval for construction administration (a $29,310 allowance) so funds are available if construction administration services are needed. The committee described construction costs as likely to be in the "about the 1.3 plus or minus million range," noting that a formal change order for construction costs would return to commissioners for approval.
On the 5th Floor project the board approved a $6,085 change order with Caddell for doors tied into the elevator lobby fire alarm and a $9,700 repair for automatic bathroom doors that stopped working. Engineering recommended the repairs as necessary to complete the ongoing 5th Floor project.
All items were approved by voice vote. The transcript records the design fee and the two repair amounts; the larger construction estimate for the ICB was described as an approximate range and will require a formal change order and future board action to obligate funds.
Next steps: staff will execute the design contract with Miller Architects, monitor construction-administration needs, and bring any required construction change orders back to the commissioners for formal approval.
