by the general contractor, (4) modifications/revisions to existing plans, (5) payment of outstanding balances, and future service, to sub‐consultants, (6) obtaining additional permit
approvals for subsequent revisions to plans, and (7) field inspections/site visits to monitor progress of the construction. ITEM J-10) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Change Order to CPZ Architect,

1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 On March 25, 2009 the City Council in accordance with Resolution No: 2009‐72‐1017 authorized a change order to the
existing purchase order with CPZ Architects, Inc. for an additional $368,358.00 for a total amount of $811,631.00 for the Design and Construction Administration Services for the Miami
Gardens Community Center. Current Situation: On November 10, 2009, the City Council in accordance with Resolution No: 2009‐17‐962 authorized the City Manager to extend the construction
contract by 116 calendar days, plus an additional 30 days if necessary, for the completion of the Community Center. This will result in an additional 3 months of construction administration
services for CPZ Architects. Staff is therefore recommending the approval of Change Order No. 2 for $60,000 for three (3) additional months of services. Proposed Action: It is recommended
that City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing Change Order No. 2 to the existing Purchase Order with CPZ Architects, Inc. for an additional $60,000, for a total amount
of $871,631, for the design and construction administration services for the Miami Gardens Community Center. Attachment: Attachment A – CPZ November 11, 2009 Proposal for Additional

Re: Miami Gardens Community Center Additional Services Architectural Proposal Dear Mr. DeCaro: In follow-up to our meeting last week, we are requesting additional funding to continue
our Construction Administration Services for the Miami Gardens Community Center. Our original contract and previous change order was based on a completion date of October 30, 2009. However,
based on some delays, the construction completion date is now set for January 31, 2010. This will require our contract to be extended for an additional 3 months. Based on our invoicing
over the last several months, we have been able to reduce our hours on the project. As we reviewed our time on this project, we have estimated that our average monthly invoicing has
been reduced from $50,000 to $20,000 per month. If you review our monthly invoices we did NOT charge for one of the office personnel working on your project. This was an extra set of
drafting hands and we considered it project and office overhead. Our billing has been carefully monitored as to not over charge the City of miscellaneous costs. In summary and based
on our estimate of an additional 3 months of construction time to complete this project, we are requesting and additional $60,000 be added to our contract to continue to provide services
through the project completion. We thank you for the opportunity to offer these services. If this proposal meets with your approval, please sign this letter and return to my attention.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (954) 792-8525. Respectfully, CPZ Architect’s, Inc. Chris P. Zimmerman, AIA President
