BACKGROUND:
CPL Architects & Engineers, PC has been delivering design services for the BARN project since March 2024. During the design process, several changes in original scope have occurred that warrant consideration of a design fee adjustment.

The original design fee was $600,250.00. The cost of this amendment is $185,070.00 bringing the revised total fee to $785,320.00. Staff recommends approval of this contract amendment to provide additional design services as needed for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost for this amendment is $185,070.00. There are sufficient funds in the BARN Project capital account, 40080187, to cover this expense.
