Re: Meadowbrook Golf Course Clubhouse
Dalton:
This letter is an update to our correspondence of May 11, 2005 on the same project. We
are writing to furnish you with revisions to our proposed basic fee of services on the
project. For the stipulated sum of $30,000.00 we will prepare the architectural and
engineering documents necessary to submit for permit and bid for construction. This fee
includes architectural as well as structural and MEP engineering, design, bid and
construction phase services. We have retrieved from our files the original contract
documents for the renovation project that we conducted in 1991. These documents were
hand drawn and some will need to be digitized in order to get them into the format
necessary for our work. I had mentioned in an earlier letter that topographic survey
services would be required on the project. After obtaining proposals for both digitizing
and surveying, and revisiting the amount of actual work needed to be performed, my staff
has concluded that we can perform both of those services in-house within our basic fee. I
mentioned in my email to you of May 24, 2005 that increasing the limit of my liability
coverage would require an additional $4,000 of premium which would be attached to the
basic fee.
The fees for the project will break down as follows:
Architectural/Civil (NDG) 25,500 (83%)
Structural (Frank W. Neal &Assoc.) 2,500 (9%)
Electrical (Technical Advisors, Inc.-MWBE) 2,000 (8%)

FAX 817/,36-9015
We recommend a provision of $1,000.00 for reimbursable expenses for submittal of
documents for TAS review and inspection as well as other minor miscellaneous items. If
the job order costing method (JOC) is used to procure all contracting services for the
project, our fee will be reduced by $4,000 to $26,000.000 total. This reduction reflects
the potential lack of necessity for detailed specifications and some construction detailing.
We will be performing the necessary architectural and civil design services as we did on
the previous project in 1991. The structural engineer is the engineer from the original
project and is familiar with the structural aspects of the original building. Our electrical
consultant, an MWBE firm will be furnishing approximately 8% of the services on the
proj ect.
In my earlier letter I mentioned the Development Department requirement for submission
of an Application for Variance to the Fire Prevention Board of Appeals. My
understanding is that Nancy Richardson in your office will be handling the submittal for
that application. Whatever services we need to provide in support of that application will
also be done in our basic fee. I mentioned in my previous letter that the Park Department
forces will be "responsible for the work on existing interior and exterior finishes" as well
as for the civil and landscape portions of the design. An important clarification of that
sentence is that Nader Design Group will be responsible for determination and
specification of the interior and exterior finish selections. The locations for landscape
work to be implemented by the Park Department forces will be designated on our
documents. The Park Department forces will be responsible for obtaining contract
services for the implementation of the interior and exterior finishes. We also understand
that Nancy Richardson has obtained a copy of an environmental testing report on this
facility, which will be submitted with the permit application as required.
Please let me know if you there are any other issues that need to be resolved before
submitting this contract to council for approval.
Sincerely,

Design Group, in the amount of $30,000.00 for the design of a pavilion at the Meadowbrook Golf Course
Club House.
DISCUSSION:
On February 10, 2004, (M&C G-14259) the City Council authorized the Parks and Community
Services Department (PACSD) staff to proceed with a renovation plan outlined for Meadowbrook Golf
Course. The renovation plan included the development of a patio pavilion adjacent to the existing club
house.
The pavilion will provide a covered area adjacent to the interior dining room. The pavilion can be used to
attract and accommodate large groups and golf tournaments, thus enhancing the golf course's ability to
host additional revenue-generating events.
The Nader Design Group designed and provided construction administration for the project in 1992 to
renovate the club house. Based on their familiarity with the Meadowbrook Golf Course complex and
excellent previous performance, the City staff selected them for the current project.
The estimated overall cost of the project is:
Design $30,000.00
Construction $140,000.00
FF&E $10,000.00
Congingency,staff, and geotechnical testing $20.000.00
TOTAL $200,000.00
Nader Design Group is in compliance with the City's MMBE Ordinance by committing to 7% M/WBE
participation. The City's goal for this project is 7%.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 4, but serves all COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
