3.A. Discuss and Consider Action on a Proposed Agreement with VLK Architects, Inc., a Texas Corporation, to Provide Architectural/Engineering Services for the 2023 Bond Projects
Description:
The Board approved the ranking of design teams on December 4, 2023 for the 2023 Bond Program.  Staff had been negotiating an agreement with top-ranked VLK Architects.  ISD attorney has reviewed and commented on the agreement language.  The agreement highlights:
  • VLK fee of 6.0% to include structural engineering, MEP engineering, Landscape, Technology and Roofing Consultants
  • Civil Engineering will be hired by VLK supplemental to the 6.0% as scope is determined
Staff feels this fee and scope are a very good value to the District.  This fee is $300K lower than some Districtd have paid for similar services.  Further, including the Technology, Civil, and Roofing Consultants should result in more effective overall coordination and communication.  Staff also considered hiring some consultants direct to the ISD and determined this proposal from VLK was  better value and lower cost.

This item will be funded from 2023 Bond Program.
