AGI~I'fDA ITE1~ WORDING~ Approvcrrl ofa Contract for Professional Services '^lith Architects
Design Group, Inc. (ADG) for the design, contract documents, and project administration of the
Monroe County Emergency Operations Center in Marathon. The Architectural services contract is a
fixed fee ofSl.OS2.044..00. The fixed fee is based on 7.5% of the estimated construction costs of
$12,400,000.00 (which is $13,000,000.00 minus the site work of $600.00); therefore;> if the cost of
construction goes up the Architect fee will go up. As discussed, at this point the estimated cost of
construction is an estimate only.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On February 2,2009, the County was notified that in order to receive grant
extension for tbe building of a new EOC we would have to submit the application for extension by
February 27, 2009, which must include a milestone schedule and a contract in place for the design.
Monroe County has been working on the grant since June 2006 when the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) announced a competitive grant application process to construct or improve county
emergency operations centers. The Monroe County Funding proposal was approved in February 2007
and the subgran1t agreement for $1,029,547 was approved by the DOCC in June 2007. An additional
$69,966 was modified to the subgrant for a hardening feasibility study; ofwmch the County win be
required to matc;h 25% of the $69,966. After RFQ, the firm of Architects Design Group, Inc. was
chosen and includes design services for a stand-alone EOC. ADG was the number one firm chosen by
our selection committee on )12/18/08. On January 28, 2009;> the BOCC approved to negotiate a
contract witb ADG for professional services for the design, contract documents, and project
administration of the Emergency Operations Center.
ADG is proposing a fixed fee for tbe basic services of schematic desi~ design development,
construction do(:uments, bidding and negotiation, and the construction phase. They are including in
the fixed fee a Spatial Need Analysis, Master Planning, and other services including, but not limited to,
Landscaping, and Permitting Coordination. The BOCC should be aware that Construction costs for the
EOC, not including Architectural services, are estimated at $13,000,000.00. The County does not
presently have the money for the cost of construction..
c:;..."..
PREVIOUS RI:LEV ANT BOCC ACTION: On June 20, 2007, the BOCC approved execution of a
State Funded Subgrant Agreement, Contract No. 08-EC-30-11-54-01-039, between Monroe County
and the Division of Emergency Management in the amount ofSl,029,547.00 toward construction ofa
new County Emcergency Management Operations Center. Also on June 20, 2007, the BOCC approved
to advertise Request for Proposals for Professional Services to design an Emergency Operations
Center. At the January 2008 meeting the BOCC approved Modification #1 to the Subgrant Agreement
that added $69,966 Federal funding for the hardening feasibility study. In January 28,2009, the BOCC
approved to negotiate a contract with Architects Design Group, Inc. for professional services for the
design, contract documents, and project administration of the Emergency Operations Center.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

Division: Engineering

Department: Facilities Development
Staff Contact PersonlPhone #: Jerry Barnett x4416
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Contract for Professional Services with Architects
Design Group, Inc. (ADG) for the design, contract documents, and project administration of the
Monroe County Emergency Operations Center in Marathon.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On February 2, 2009, the County was notified that in order to receive grant
extension for the building of a new EOC we would have to submit the application for extension by
February 27, 2009, which must include a milestone schedule and a contract in place for the design.
Monroe County has been working on the grant since June 2006 when the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) announced a competitive grant application process to construct or improve county
emergency operations centers. The Monroe County Funding proposal was approved in February 2007
and the subgrant agreement for $1,029,547 was approved by the BOCC in June 2007. An additional
$69,966 was modified to the subgrant for a hardening feasibility study. After RFQ, the firm of
Architects Design Group, Inc. was chosen and includes design services for a stand-alone EOC. ADG
was the number one firm chosen by our selection committee on 12/18/08. On January 28, 2009, the
BOCC approved to negotiate a contract with ADG for professional services for the design, contract
documents, and project administration of the Emergency Operations Center.
ADG is proposing a fixed fee for the basic services of schematic design, design development,
construction documents, bidding and negotiation, and the construction phase. They are including in
the fixed fee a Spatial Need Analysis, Master Planning, and other services including, but not limited to,
Landscaping, and Permitting Coordination. The BOCC should be aware that Construction costs for the
EOC, not including Architectural services, are estimated at $13,000,000.00.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On June 20, 2007, the BOCC approved execution of a
State Funded Subgrant Agreement, Contract No. 08-EC-30-11-54-01-039, between Monroe County
and the Division of Emergency Management in the amount of $1,029,547.00 toward construction ofa
new County Emergency Management Operations Center. Also on June 20,2007, the BOCC approved
to advertise Request for Proposals for Professional Services to design an Emergency Operations
Center. At the January 2008 meeting the BOCC approved Modification # 1 to the Subgrant Agreement
that added $69,966 Federal funding for the hardening feasibility study. In January 28,2009, the BaCC
approved to negotiate a contract with Architects Design Group, Inc. for professional services for the
design, contract documents, and project administration of the Emergency Operations Center.
