Elmwood School Designer Services Contract Amendment

This amendment expands the original design‑services contract for the new Elmwood Elementary School (175,002 sf) to include full design‑development, construction‑document production, bidding support, construction administration, and close‑out services, as well as a supplemental geothermal well testing package. The designer, Perkins Eastman, DPC, will deliver detailed drawings, cost estimates, permit‑filing schedules, and on‑site construction oversight, while the owner (Town of Hopkinton – ESBC) maintains responsibility for project financing and overall oversight. The contract’s financial structure consists of a basic design fee of approximately $11 million, a $60,000 lump‑sum geothermal consulting fee, and reimbursable expenses up to $50,000. The schedule spans from design development starting 11/17/2023 through project completion slated for January 2028, with key milestones for 60 % and 90 % construction‑document submittals and a bidding phase in early 2025. • Scope covers Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding, Construction Administration, and Closeout for a K‑12 school project. • Total design‑service fee ≈ $11 million; construction budget remains $124.95 million (unchanged). • Geothermal consulting adds a $60 k test‑well package; other optional services (e.g., LEED registration, hazardous‑material removal) are excluded from the basic fee.
