UPDATE: A city official reached out for me and got feedback on this project;
The deck is complete. The agreement is for the ancillary project of designing and constructing a wooden four garbage container enclosure on the North side of the building to match the rest of the deck. With the social stairs and sponsor signage on the North side, the garbage containers were out in the open and looked rather unsightly for the area, not to mention they were often overflowing. Koch Hazard (architect on the project) is basically constructing them at the cost of their design fee as part of a community project (plus they have to look across the street at the open garbage containers). We initially asked for quotes to amend this onto the initial deck contract but the quoted cost were a little high.
Even if the construction of a garbage enclosure is included in this price-tag, for that price, the garbage enclosure should be on the National Historic Register!
Remember when I told you the $1 a year rent for SF Startup was gonna cost us? (Consent agenda, Item #7) Looks like they are already in re-design mode on the uneven deck they built this last summer;
Granted, I have no idea what the architectural fee is for, but it seems suspicious considering the deck was finished already, or is it? Not sure it takes $5,800 in consulting fees to tell us we need to rent an industrial planer.
