C ourthous e S quare <br />A Marion County/Salem Area Transit <br />Joint Development Proj ect <br />To: Marion County Board of Commissioners <br />rom:~ F. Wasson, Project Manager <br />Re: Amendment number 5 to Melvin Mark Contract <br />Date: March 20, 2000 <br />Recommendation: <br />Approve this contract amendment to extend the services of Melvin Mark Development Company <br />to the end of the construction period. This amendment will add $178,97724 to the contract <br />amount. <br />Background: <br />When the contract with Melvin Mark Development Company was originally entered into it was <br />for a 20 month period that ends March 31, 2000. The design, bidding and project review steps <br />that the project has gone through has extended the project past the original completion time line <br />of the project. Melvin Mark is our designated construction manager for the project and it is in the <br />projects' interest not to interrupt those services until the construction in completed, contractually <br />this is projected to be November 2000. <br />This amendment will extend the services of Melvin Mark to Dec. 31, 2000. It also has a <br />provision that removes from payment consideration a percentage of the change orders in the <br />project. This provision has a potential impact of $SO,OOOplus on the project. <br />The detailed list of services that Melvin Mark provides is attached to the amendment. <br />The project proforma anticipates the expense of this contract amendment. <br />cc: John Whittington, SAT <br />
