BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On June 25, 2018, Norris Design was contracted to perform preliminary design work in preparation for the 2019 Bond Program. With voter approval for the 2019 Bond Sports Park Project, Norris Design’s contract was amended on June 24, 2019, to include final design and construction administration for a total contract price of $2,069,089.

At 90% design the project was repackaged as a Construction Manager At Risk delivery method which reallocated the remaining Norris Design contract into 100% construction documents and construction administration services.

On December 13, 2024, the contract was amended to include additional construction administration and additional engineering services to extend the project to the summer of 2025 due to water availability for grass establishment for a new total contract price of $2,090,308.

Norris Design is requesting additional funds for continued construction administration, signage coordination, and additional engineering services to carry the project to December 2025. These services are necessary to finish the construction phase of this project with reclaimed water expected to be available at the end of the summer to begin field establishment. This contract amendment is for $47,265 and will make the new contract price $2,137,573.
