SPECIAL MEETING FEBRUARY 8, 2005 A Special Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Jeff Perlman in the First Floor Conference Room at City Hall at 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, February 8, 2005. Roll call showed: Present - Commissioner Patricia Archer Commissioner Bob Costin Commissioner J on Levinson Commissioner Alberta McCarthy Mayor Jeff Perlman Absent - None Also present were - City Manager David T. Harden City Attorney Susan A. Ruby and City Clerk Chevelle D. Nubin Before the special meeting, Mayor Perlman requested a Moment of Silence for Harvey Brown, Sr. who passed away this week and stated he was a wonderful friend to Delray Beach. Mayor Perlman called the meeting to order and announced that it had been called for the purpose of considering the following item: 1. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. l.1/KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC./MIKE MACHEK BOY SCOUT PARK: Approve Service Authorization No. 1.1 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Ine. in the amount of $63,928.00 for consulting services for the Mike Machek Boy Scout Park Project. Funding is available from 380-4150-572-63.25 (2004 G.O. Bond/Boy Scout Park). David T. Harden, City Manager stated since the preparation of the agenda, we received a subsequent authorization at a lower cost. Dick Hasko, Director of Environmental Services presented the item and stated this morning Kimley-Horn came back with a price for this proposal which is from the current state of the Boy Scout Park project including SPRAB (Site Plan Review and Appearance Board) approvals to permitting design and the construction in the amount of $54,000.00 which is down almost half of their initial cost. Mayor Perlman asked if this is a complicated project. Dick Hasko stated there is not a lot of architecture on this project since it is a bathroom. However, there are certain items that go into the plans for permitting and construction purposes that do not relate to the size of the structure that is being constructed. Mayor Perlman stated that it seems that the national firms are high in price. He asked if it makes sense for the City to work with local firms in the future that would like to do the work and keep the price within the lower end of the ballpark. Mr. Hasko stated we have very few local firms with the qualifications needed. Discussion continued among the Commission regarding prices and consultants. Mr. Levinson stated for a project like this an option could be design build. The City Attorney stated we have the ability to do design build under our current ordinances. Mr. Costin stated he would like to see other options in the future that we could go with. Mrs. Archer asked if there is a dollar limit for design build. The City Attorney stated there is no dollar limit. Mr. Levinson asked that a reuse clause be added to our standard form contracts with consultants. I t was the consensus of the Commission to remove the architectural fees out of the proposal with staff to investigate the reusing of other plans; and present the item at the February 15, 2005 Regular City Commission Meeting. 2. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. 7/KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES.. INC./U.S. 1 CORRIDOR STUDY: Approve Service Authorization No.7 to Kimley- Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $30,050.00 for supplemental engineering services related to the Corridor Study of U.S. 1 from S.E. 4th Street to N.E. 4th Street.

Funding is available from 334-4141-572-65.99 (General Construction Fund/SE 4th Street to NE 4th Street).
