Commissioners rescind prior architect contract and approve AIA-form agreement to meet USDA requirement, unlocking $825,000
Summary
The court rescinded a prior architect agreement with Megamorphosis Architects and approved reapproving the agreement on AIA forms to meet USDA requirements so the county can receive $825,000 for design and specifications for the Laguna Madre Nature Center.
Staff told the court that when the county submitted the previously executed agreement with Megamorphosis Architects to USDA, the agency requested the agreement be on AIA (American Institute of Architects) forms. The court first voted to rescind the earlier contract and then approved the agreement in AIA format to comply with USDA conditions so the county can receive $825,000 for design and plan specifications for the Cameron County Laguna Madre Nature Center.
A commissioner moved to rescind the earlier agreement and then reapprove the architect agreement on the AIA form so the county could meet USDA requirements and secure the $825,000 award. The motions carried on the record and staff indicated the item will return to the next agenda with the AIA-form agreement properly executed for USDA review.
