November 30, 1999 Biily Wasson, Courthouse Square Manager Marion County Courthouse 100 High Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 RE: Additional Services Required for LEED Certification. Building Commissioning Courthouse Square Project No. 9828 Dear Biily: Kim Arbuckle, fUA A1an E. Costic, AW Walter E. Bensman, Jr., fuA Ck~y[on Vorse, AlA Mark M. Foster, AIA Leonard Lodder, AIA Richard S. Ro[hweiler, AIA ARBUCKLE COSTIC ARCHITECTS, INC. 363 Sta[e Street Salem, OR 97301-3533 503/581-4114 Fax: 503/581-3655 E-fvkiil: acarchC~open.org in my lette~ dated November 23,1999, I noted that a sepa~ate line item needed to be carried in your budget for LEED related costs caused by the commissioning process. 1'hese costs yyi~~ ~esult from time committed to meetings at the call of the Commissioning Agent. Since the Developmerrt Team has as yet not seleded a Commissioning Agent, it is difficult to estimate the levei of involvement required. We propose that time ~equired by the commissioning process to attend meetings at the call of the Commissioning Agent and complete tasks assigned by the Commissioning Agent. be biiled at ourthen cwrent hourly rates. We estimate that the fees could amourrt to approximately $5,000 fo~ Interface Engi~eering and a further ~2~500 for Arbuckie Costic Architeds. It should be noted that the amount estimated by intertace Engineering would not be bilied, if through the selection process, they also become the Commissionfig Agent. Clea~ly, if they are the Commissioning Agent for the County, they would not need to cali themselves to related meetings. Oliver has further indicated that it wouid be advantageous for the County and SAMTD, if Intertace Engineering were retai~ed to pertorm the testing and balancing woric as well as the commissioning. Shouid you have any questions rega-tiing the above, please call. Leona~d Lodder, A.IA.
