5/6/2008 2:00 PM
Approve Extension of Herry Contract
Department:Public Services Department - Facilities Management
Division
Caption:Amend Contract with Heery International for Program
Management Services to approve a 2-year extension, with
optional third year, approve the billing rates for each year for
the extension, and revise the fee distribution to align with the
revised project list. This will extend the Contract to May,
2010, with an Option to May, 2011, and maintain managerial
continuity through completion of the projects. (Requested
by the Administrator)
Background:Heery and their associated firm, Dukes, Edwards and Dukes,
were selected by committee in 2003, as a result of RFP 03-
081. Their Contract, which was executed in May, 2004, is
now in its fourth year. As currently structured, the Contract is
approaching the end of its first of two Option Years (3+1+1).
The Heery-led team has filled a leadership role in several
projects, including: · Municipal Building - Exterior
Renovations (Roof and Windows) (scheduled completion
May, 2008) · Augusta Museum of History - HVAC
Renovations (scheduled completion April, 2008) ·
Webster Detention Center - Expansion (groundbreaking
scheduled for June, 2008) · New Main Library
(groundbreaking scheduled for August, 2008) · Judicial
Center (groundbreaking schedule for 4th quarter 2008) ·
TEE Center – (entering procurement phase)
Analysis:The projects listed in the Heery Contact at the time of its
execution were in the Pre-Design stage, and lacked the
funding and project definition necessary to accurately define
project schedules and budgets, or move forward aggressively.
Some of the designated projects were effectively cancelled or
delayed by insufficient funding, while others have been
added or expanded in scope. This has resulted in the need to
reallocate the project fees, and to extend the duration of
Cover Memo
Item # 9
project management to coincide with the current project
completion schedules. Following the completion of the
project funding process, progress on the projects has been
good, with two major projects expected to break ground
within 4 months. Because the construction of these projects
will extend well into the Year 2010, a two-year Contract
extension with an optional third-year is recommended.
Financial Impact:The not-to-exceed cost of the original (current) contract is
$7,082,354.00. This amount will not change, although the
duration of services changes will. The fees will be funded by
the individual SPLOST projects which Heery is assigned to.
Alternatives:1. Amend Contract with Heery International for Program
Management Services to approve a 2-year extension, with
optional third year, approve the billing rates for each year for
the extension, and revise the fee distribution to align with the
revised project list. This will extend the Contract to May,
2010, with an Option to May, 2011, and maintain managerial
continuity through completion of the projects. 2. Approve 1-
year Option of current Contract, extending Contract to May,
2009. 3. Do not approve Contract extension and manage
projects with Staff. 4. Do not approve Contract extension and
solicit proposals from Program Management firms.
Recommendation:#1. Amend Contract with Heery International for Program
Management Services to approve a 2-year extension, with
optional third year, approve the billing rates for each year for
the extension, and revise the fee distribution to align with the
revised project list. This will extend the Contract to May,
2010, with an Option to May, 2011, and maintain managerial
continuity through completion of the projects.
