Background:
On October 12, 2020, Seminole County (“County”) and Schenkel & Shultz, Inc. (“Architect”) entered into an agreement for Architectural and Engineering Services for the Design of Seminole County Fire Station #39, which was authorized by Work Order No. 01, Work Order No. 01 - Amendment No. 01, and Work Order No. 01 - Amendment No. 02.
On April 20, 2023, the County and CIC Construction Group USA, LLC (“Contractor”) entered into a construction contract for Fire Station #39.
The project is close to final completion; however, there are multiple pending issues on which the parties disagree, among them, Contractor’s claims for an extension of time and additional fees incurred in connection with the construction contract.
To avoid the potential of lengthy and costly litigation, it is the intent of the parties to fully and finally settle the pending issues, as set forth in the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release.
Requested Action:
Staff recommends the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release between Seminole County, CIC Construction Group USA, LLC, and Schenkel & Shultz, Inc. for the Fire Station #39 project.
