RE: Approval of Revision to Hall of Waters Architectural Services with
STRATA
City staff is requesting a revision to the Capital Improvements approval on the Hall of
Waters architectural services with STRATA. When we began the project, we requested
$151,155 for architectural services on four projects. This was 12/5% of the $1.2 Million
projects costs for the following projects: well room, tower, east wing windows and rust
jacking, and dehumidification in the basement of the Hall of Waters. The architectural
services were approved at the November 2025 CIP meeting.
The initial plans were to study and determine a permanent solution to the well room that
would be built at a later date ($53,435), tower repairs in the amount of $54,780, an
assessment of the damaged concrete walls and windows in the SW corner of the
building to more fully understand the improvements that are needed, construction
documents, bidding and construction, and construction documents, bidding and
administration of the dehumidification project in the basement of the Hall.
Strata has completed a Revit model of the building which creates a 360° view of each
room. The building model includes the building envelope and interior partitions (existing
walls, parapets, floors, roofs, ceilings, soffits) structural elements, architectural details,
windows, doors and openings, plumbing fixtures and stairs, ramps, and associated
railings to an LOD 300 “Detailed Design” level per AIA Standards. This information is
then used, now and in the future, by contractors and architects in assisting with
designing and developing construction documents. This information needs to be used
when completing the HVAC portion of the suggested design and for all future projects.
Since completing the initial review of the east wing window situation, Strata has revised
their fee schedule to assist the City in addressing the greatest needs. It was determined
that there is significantly more work than originally anticipated once the southeast
windows on the main floor were removed. This has resulted in a need to increase the
fees to address additional work on the windows portion of the project.
The tower repairs and modification originally included an optional electrical work to the
tower. It was determined that staff could address the electrical issue by removing and
reinstalling the lighting. This results in a savings of $8,050.
Strata, working with staff, determined that the schematic study of the well room needed
to be paused to allow for a shift in funding to the greater need which is the east wing.
Pausing this work would result in a savings of $54,635. This would be a focused
assessment limited to the tower and the existing boiler draft system to identify required
modifications and/or repairs, construction documents, and construction administration.
The above-mentioned savings and an additional $22,495 in funds are needed to revise
the east wing portion of the project. Staff is requesting an additional $22,495 in funds to
allocate to the Strata proposal.
