<br />A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ARCHITECT'S CONTRACT
<br />FOR CIVIC CENTER PROJECT.
<br />WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 5503 -73, passed April 9, 1973, appropriated $500,000.00 for
<br />various Civic Center expenses and established a budget line item of $273,000.00 for
<br />Architect's Fees, Design and Special Reports; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Civic Center Authority has approved the architect's contract. This
<br />contract is now subject to the approval of the Common Council in accordance with the
<br />terms of the Civic Center Authority ordinance which requires that all contracts in
<br />excess of $5,000.00 are subject to Common Council approval; and
<br />WHEREAS, this contract is being issued by the Civic Center Authority to Phillip
<br />Johnson and John Burgee, nationally known firm of architects in New York City; and
<br />WHEREAS, the architect under this contract is paid a fee for his basic services
<br />which is on a sliding scale for the basic services to be performed. This fee reim-
<br />burses the contractor for all of his basic services. If the bid subsequently received
<br />by the prime contractor for the construction of the buildings in the Civic Center is
<br />$10,000,000.00, the architect's fee will be 7.9 percent, or $790,000.00. If the total
<br />construction cost exceeds $10,000,000.00, the fee percentage goes up or down in relation
<br />to the total construction cost so that the architect is penalized if the construction
<br />costs exceed $10,000,000.00, and is rewarded if the construction costs are less than
<br />$8,000,000.00. The architect is also paid for any additional services which are in
<br />addition to the basic services at the rate of his actual direct labor plus a factor
<br />of 2.5. All work under "Additional Services requires written contract authorization
<br />from the Civic Center Authority.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
<br />Indiana:
<br />SECTION I. That the proposed Architect's Contract approved May 25, 1973, by the
<br />Civic Center Authority, is hereby approved.
<br />SECTION II. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
<br />passage by the Common Council, and its approval by the Mayor.
<br />s/ Peter J. Nemeth
<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Charles Lennon, Executive Director
<br />of the Department of Redevelopment, made the presentation for the resolution. He indicated that
<br />he was doing so as the Contract Administrator for the Civic Center Authority. According to
<br />Ordinance No. 5503 of the Common Council, the authority was requesting approval of the contract
<br />awarded to Phillip Johnson and John Burgee.
<br />Miss Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, questioned the
<br />fourth "Whereas" clause regarding the 7.9% of the architect's fee. Mr. Lennon explained that this
<br />was the total contract; however, at this time, he was presuming that there.would be one contract
<br />developed. He indicated that, if there is more than one, the price would go up. Miss Guthrie feli
<br />the resolution did not give the total picture. Mr. Lennon indicated that it was a presumption that
<br />the project would cost $10,000,000, excluding the cost of the land. Miss Guthrie wondered how the
<br />citizens could be sure this would be the total cost. Mr. Lennon indicated that, if the cost is
<br />less or more, the architect's fee would be negotiated. Miss Guthrie asked if the furnishings and
<br />equipment for the Civic Center were included in the $10,000,000. Mr. Lennon indicated that some
<br />of the mechanical equipment would be included. Miss Guthrie felt this was important for the
