12. CONTRACT AMENDMENT: ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR THE ALHAMBRA\nCOMMUNITY CENTER – F2M22-65, C2M23-66, M2M24-173\nOn July 24, 2023, the City Council authorized an agreement with KFA LLP to provide\nprofessional architecture services for the design and development of the Alhambra\nCommunity Center. KFA’s original scope of work included the demolition of the existing\nShorb Street Medical Clinic building and the construction of an entirely new 25,000 square\nfoot Alhambra Community Center building. The contract was amended on July 22, 2024\nto address tasks that were not associated with the original scope of work. A second\namendment is needed for scope changes that require the design of the 9,000 square foot\nadaptive reuse building and the design of three different sized community centers. The\ndesigns include a 17,000 square foot building to complete construction documents and\ndevelopment designs to expand the building to 21,000 and 25,000 square feet. The 9,000\nsquare foot adaptative reuse introduces analysis and complexity that requires specialized\ndesign approaches distinct from those required for a new construction building. No\nadditional budget is necessary to fund the additional services. Accordingly, this\namendment requests an additional $258,210 which results in a new total contract not to\nexceed $1,867,835.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve a contract amendment, subject to final\nlanguage approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, by and between the City of\nAlhambra and KFA LLP., for professional architecture services associated with the\nredesign of the Alhambra Community Center to add a not to exceed sum of $258,210 to\nKFA’s current contract; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the\nCouncil’s action.
