City Secretary Contract No. 39779
Amendment No. 2
Extended Lead PRR Services Billing Rate
Dear Mr. Harder:
Freese and Nichols requests of the Construction Management Services Contract Attachment B Compensation Section
LB be amended to allow a billing rate of $L15 per hour for the Lead Plant Resident Representative effective September
1, 2012. No increase in the Contract Amount is requested.
The original agreement provided a billing rate of $85 per hour for the Lead Plant Resident Representative for 24 months
of services at an estimated 44.6 hours per week. ffi late Apri12012, it became apparent that the Construciion Contract
would not be completed by August 17, 2012 as required by the Construction Contract Documents. This presented a
problem for Freese and Nichols as the Lead PRR, Mr. David Schroeder, BIT., was scheduled to begin his next
assignment as soon as the current project was completed. His next assignment, the Brazos River Authority's Possum
Chigdom Dam Emergency Low Flow Outlet project was also being accelerated due td the drought of 2011 and would
begin before the contractual completion of his Holly WTP assignment. FNI reviewed available staff and determined that
Mr. Clay Rahn, P.E., who was completing his field assignment at the Village Creek WRF, had the necessary skills and
experience to transfer into the Holly Lead PRR position to provide the balance of inspection services required. Mr.
Rahn has also worked on the FWWD Eagle Mountain WTP Phase 3 Expansion and was knowledgeable in the FWWD's
procedures and expectations for major plant improvement projects.
Freese and Nichols felt it inappropriate to request a billing rate increase for the Lead PRR services during the
contractual 24 months of services as the change in personnel was made at FNI's election, not the FWWD's request. We
believe the requested increase in billing rate is fair and that FNI should not be financially penalized by having to use the
original position's billing rate during the period that the Construction Contractor is behind schedule, extra engineering
services are needed, and a more experienced employee is being utilized.
Sincerely,
FREESE AND NICHOLS, INC.
G.E. Gay, P.E.
