February 16,2005 Foss I Associates Archi tecture & Interiors Ms. Bonnie Johnson County Coordinator Cass County 211 9th Street South Fargo, North Dakota 58102 Re: #0509; Addition to the Cass County Jail Dear Ms. Johnson: As a follow-up to our meeting on the 27th of January, I provide for your use the following response for review and consideration. Please find enclosed a/an - 1. Draft agreement for professional services, AlA Document B 141-1997, Part 1 outlines the scope of Architectural and Engineering Services to be provided by our office and consultants to Cass County for a 96-bed addition to the Jail. 2. Project schedule, which identifies the period of time required for completing design, the bidding, and an estimated construction time frame with owner transition to inmate occupancy anticipated happening by January 1,2007. 3. Estimated cost for a jail expansion that contains 96 additional beds, demolition, a modification of existing space to provide secure vertical circulation for jail staff between the first and second levels. A perimeter chase(s) around any new addition intended to house plumbing, electrical and fire protection devices, this in response to a request to provide easier access for lifetime service of fixtures and devices. The continued use of the steel "Acoustic Deck" above the cells in all pods (on the original jail project this was an add alternate for all housing areas, this is now projected to cost an additional $59,000 for the new expansion area). A line item on the estimate is included that identifies contractor profit and overhead for the new construction in the amount of $193,000. Inflationary markups with "out of the ordinary material" escalations could amount to as much as $746,000, and finally a 5% or $175,000 contingency is being suggested for any owner approved change during the design and construction or possible earmarked for security furnishing etc. Following completion of schematic design, that estimate will better reflect the actual cost of this construction. The critical integration of the some new equipment into the existing jail systems has been identified as HV AC controls, security card reading, door controls and the key/locking systems. Cass County's desire to extend these vendor components into the jail expansion is undeniably a step toward assuring system compatibility and a simplification of any required service in the future by only having to contact a single vendor for each of the systems. 701.282.5505 810 1st Avenue Notth PO Box 2823 Fargo, Notth Dakota 58108 Fax 701.232.5338 e-mail info@fossassociates.com
