RE: REVISED FEE PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING
SERVICES FOR PROPOSED ELECTRICAL SERVICE UPGRADES AT
THE JACKSON SQUARE COMPLEX COURTHOUSEIFORMER JAIL
FACILITY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF WHITEHEAD AND
SOUTHARD STREETS, KEY WEST, FLORIDA.
Dear Ms. Coffer
G. M. Selby & Associates, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as G. M. Selby) is pleased to
provide the Monroe County Construction Management Division with this requested
revised fee proposal for design and project administration services for proposed electrical
service upgrades for the courthouse/former jail located at the Jackson Square complex in
Key West. This proposal has been prepared in accordance with our understanding of the
project, based upon the Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Monroe County on August
,5th, 2002, an on site meeting -held betweenG. M. Selby and Monroe County personnel on
September 25,2002, and discussions with you directly since.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
As related to Selby through information provided by Monroe County, the County has
been required to undertake electrical service upgrades for all facilities located within the
Jackson Square Complex in the City of Key West. To date, two of the four phases of the
upgrades have been completed. G. M. Selby responded to Monroe County's RFP for
professional engineering services for the third phase of the upgrades project. This phase
will encompass power demands for the existing courthouse/former jail facility, and will
require the re-routing of electrical service from existing, to-be-removed, transformers
located adjacent to the subject building, to a new transformer placed for this purpose.
Additionally, all power distribution lines are to be relocated from aboveground wires to
underground conduits.

PROJECT SCOPE
As stated above, Monroe County wishes to re-route the power supply system for the
courthouse/former jail facility at the Jackson Square Complex from the existing,
overhead wires and outdated transformers, to underground conduits to be run off a newly
placed transformer at the site. Furthermore, the County has indicated its preference to
have all new electrical switchgear and existing panels located within an empty room that
is located closest to the new transformer, and to' have meters and panels for
telecommunications services, currently located on the outside of the south wall of the
building, relocated to the same room inside the building.
Based upon this information, scope details provide in the RFP, and discussions with
County personnel during the pre-proposal site visit, this project scope is proposed in 4
Phases: .
· Phase I: Design Phase
· Phase II: Contract Award Phase
· Phase III: Construction Phase
Each of these phases, and their respective envisioned scope items, are proposed as
follows. Please note that it is expected that portions of one or more phases may overlap
each other in the project timeline.
PHASE I: DESIGN PHASE
This portion of the project will encompass all site visits, research and services necessary
for the preparation of schematic designs, full project designs, project cost estimating and
documentation in support of the permitting process. As per Monroe County, construction
permits are to be the responsibility of the awarded contractor. Additionally, G. M. Selby
will coordinate with the local jurisdictional authority and the Historic and Architectural
Review Commission (HARC) for this project. G. M. Selby will provide Monroe County
with design drawings for review and approval at the 50%, 75% and 100% completion
stages. The proposed cost for Phase I is estimated to be $9,790.00.
PHASE II: CONTRACT AWARD PHASE
This portion of the project will encompass preparation of construction bidding documents
(as bid specifications placed upon design drawings), instructions to bidders and bid
packages. G. M. Selby engineers will provide technical support during the bid process in
order to provide for Monroe County receiving the most comprehensive and highest
quality bids. Upon receipt of the bids, Selby engineers will support the County Project
Managers in bid tabulation and review. Selby engineers will point out any discrepancies
or other potential "red flags" in any bids. Finally, G. M. Selby will provide a
recommendation to the County with regards to which bidder offers the County the best
terms and possible work product. The proposed cost for Phase II is estimated to be
$700.00.

PHASE III: CONSTRUCTION PHASE
This portion of the project will encompass the award of the contract, [mal permit
applications processing, administration of contract documents, performing construction
inspections, reviewing and approving of contractor invoices, preparing a project punchlist
for project close-out, conducting a punchlist close-out inspection, and assisting in the
[mal close-out of the project. During construction activities, Selby engineers will visit
the site one time per week, and will provide Monroe County Project Managers with a
weekly status report. Furthermore, Selby engineers will provide technical support and
will review and approve shop drawings as necessary during this phase in order to provide
an unproblematic project to completion. At the completion of the project, G. M. Selby
will prepare and provide as-built plans to the County. The proposed cost for Phase IV
is estimated to be $3,590.00.
Therefore, based upon the information contained herein, the total proposed cost of
G. M. Selby's services for this project is approximately $14,000.00. Please note that
this estimate is based upon a defined number of mobilizations by G. M. Selby engineers
to Key West. The envisioned mobilizations are as follows: twice during Phase I, and four
times during Phase Ill. If additional mobilizations are necessary in support of the proj ect,
G. M. Selby proposes a flat fee of$650.00 per visit.
Please feel free to contact myself or Mr. Evan Skornick at (305) 666-5775 with any
questions or comments you may have, or to discuss specific items of concern with the
proposed scope of services. We look forward to working closely with you on this
project.

Architect/Engineer reliably informs the Owner that the Architect/Engineer has
made the inspection of the work required, and that the work for which payment is
approved has reached the quantities or percentages of completion shown, or
both, that the quality of the Contractor's work meets or exceeds the requirements
of the Construction Contract, and that under the terms and conditions of the
Construction Contract, the Owner is obligated to make payment to the Contractor
of the amount approved.
2.8.7 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation
that the Architect/Engineer has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. (2) reviewed
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. (3)

as to cause no delay in the Contractor's Work or in construction by the Owner's
own forces, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect/Engineer's professional
judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted
for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details
such as dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for
installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the
Contractors, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractors to the extent
required by the Contract Documents. The Architect/Engineer's review shall not
constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated
by the Architect/Engineer, of construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures. The Architect/Engineer's approval of a specific item
shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
When professional certification of performance characteristic of materials,
systems or equipment is required by the Contract Documents, the
