Council authorizes $19,000 amendment to City Hall addition design contract
Summary
Council approved a $19,000 amendment to Weber Murphy Fox's design contract to finalize City Hall addition plans and renovations, bringing the overall design contract to an estimated $159,000 as construction cost estimates rose to $2,000,000.
Director Lawrie Ferrell told council the original Weber Murphy Fox design contract was negotiated at an adjusted fee and based on a conceptual construction estimate; with updated feedback from planning and the landmark commission construction cost projections rose to about $2,000,000. To finalize design documents, staff requested a $19,000 amendment to the design services contract, increasing the design‑fee total to roughly $159,000.
Ferrell said design plans were at 95% completion and the additional funds were needed to reach 100% and close out the design phase. Council voted unanimously to authorize the amendment under emergency suspension of the rules.
