Background: 

The Electrical Upgrades at Crittenden MS and Theuerkauf ES project involves the replacement of the main switchboard at Theuerkauf ES and replacement of the main and distribution breakers in the existing main switchboard at Crittenden Middle School.  The project requires the services of an architectural design firm to assist in design, and construction documents, construction administration and closeout.  The District issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for these services on September 18, 2020 to the currently approved pool of Architects for the District for the Measure T Bond.  A total of one proposal was received.

Hamilton + Aitken Architects has presented a service fee proposal for the required services in the amount of $48,000.   At this time, the estimated construction cost is $400,000. This proposal is within the established project budget for design fees.



Recommended Action: 
It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve the service fee proposal and award of an agreement for Hamilton + Aitken Architects in the amount of $48,000.
