Agufla, MA September 14, 2007 Mr. Jerry Barnett Facilities Development Coordinator Monroe County 1100 Simonton Street Room 2-216 Key West, Florida 33040 Re: Freeman Justice Center Professional Architectural Services Pear Jerry, As a follow up to our conversation earlier today, this letter will serve to inform you (Monroe County) that our firm has again reached a point in the above referenced project where the fees for services are not sufficient to complete the required tasks as they continue to evolve. As of our latest invoice we have $2,334.00 remaining in fees to complete the project which is anticipated to continue until at least the end of the year. As you may recall, in previous correspondence where we discussed the status of fees versus services we mentioned that we would make every effort to complete all the added tasks within the approved fee structure. However, with the extended duration of construction activities coupled with all the additional services required and not anticipated we and our consultants will need additional fees. A few points to consider include: • Originally the anticipated construction completion date was May 9, 2006, later extended to January 24, 2007, and then again to later in the year. Now it is anticipated to be completed no earlier than December 31, 2007. • As of today's date we have accrued $138,971.00 in non-construction administration related items including services required for unanticipated changes and revisions to the plans, security system design, drawings for Exterior Insulating Finish Systems (EIFS), additional requested interior design services, and site civil engineering to note a few. These items were not anticipated at the time of previous fee requests. The project does appear to be getting closer to completion, except for building punch list items and the exterior skin element which is still under shop drawing review(we have reviewed and rejected them twice already), but remain hopeful that the interior spaces will be completed by the end of the year concurrent with the exterior skin. Based on that assumption our request is as follows. v We anticipate that the construction period will continue for an additional four months requiring four or five additional site visits by our office, plus at least one from our MEP consultant and at least three from the interior designer. The skin work is assumed to be completed concurrently and no additional visits are contemplated but responses to RFI's and other contractor questions will continue to be required. Based on the above, we propose additional fees to cover the project conclusion as follows: • Architectural Construction Administration fees: $32,000.00 • MEP Construction Administration fees: $ 2,500.00 • Structural Construction Administration fees: $ 500.00 • Interior Design Administration fees: $ 5.000.00 Total additional fees anticipated $40,000.00 Should Monroe County prefer, we would gladly continue invoicing at our approved hourly rates against the figure stated above and hope that we would not require the full amount. We would appreciate your favorable consideration of our request. I will be happy to discuss this in further detail should you desire. Sincerely, CURRIE SOWARDS AGUILA ARCHITECTS afrfr Jose N.
