TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> INSPECTIONS <br /> TO: Mashpee High School Building Committee <br /> FROM: William F. Hauck, Building Inspector <br /> DATE: October 20, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: RFP for structural review <br /> I had been talking to a Stuart Snyder P.E. a structural <br /> consulting engineer, out of Chatham. The following is a <br /> paraphrasing of some of his thoughts and a rough estimate <br /> for structural cost. - <br /> The architect's fee is around 6% of the cost of the <br /> building, the structural engineer's fee is a 14% to 16% of <br /> • the architects fee, and the structural peer review fee is <br /> 15% of the structural engineers. <br /> Architects fee 60 or .06 of project cost <br /> Engineers fee 6% x 15% or .06 x . 15 = . 009 <br /> Review fee 6% x 15% x 15% or .06 x .15 x . 15 = . 00135 <br /> Mr. Snyder suggests the cost be included in the Archi- <br /> tects bid fee, but have an independent account line con- <br /> trolled totally by the school committee with the reviewer <br /> answering only to the school committee. This will avoid any <br /> conflict of interest. <br /> He also suggests that the review engineers be selected <br /> early in the design process so he can work in the prelimi- <br /> nary design stage, catch a design flaw early if there is one <br /> and avoid a costly redesign at a later date in the process <br /> (time to us, money to the engineer) . <br /> Mr. Snyder would be happy to meet with the committee to <br /> aid and discuss any questing you may have. <br /> cc: Snyder Associates <br />
