T h e firm's fee for the program definition/concept development phase will be on an hourly basis, not to exceed $42,000; the fee through the receipt of bids will be on a lump sum basis of $348,900. T h e scope of the $5.3 million project consists of the complete demolition of the interior of the existing three-story building, including the wood floor system and roof structure. T h e original fourth floor and mansard roof which were destroyed by fire in 1896 will be reconstructed. New structural steel and concrete floors will be installed as well as new mechanical and electrical systems. This project is intended to completely restore the exterior of the facility, including the original mansard roof, and to renovate the building's interior in keeping with the character of the original design in addition to meeting the needs of the Foundation. T h e restored facility will provide approximately 34,000 gross square feet (22,500 net assignable square feet) of office, conference, and support space for the Foundation. T h e project is to be financed from private gift funds available to the Foundation. A schedule of the firm's hourly rates has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. Following the receipt of satisfactory bids, a recommendation will be submitted to the board to request the Foundation to make available the balance of the funds required for the project; to award construction contracts; and to authorize the architectural/engineering services during the construction phase of the project.
