body
Background
The North Apron area comprises parking and service areas for small aircraft. Recent pavement management reports indicate the area is in need of rehabilitation. In April 2016, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dibble Engineering to provide design services. The design has been completed for Phase I of the North Apron Rehabilitation Project.
On July 28, 2016, the city advertised a Notice to Contractors for construction of the north apron rehabilitation. On August 15, 2016, the Engineering Department received five bids with Combs Construction Company, Inc. submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The FAA has concurred with our recommendation to award the bid to Combs Construction Company, Inc.
Analysis
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has emphasized the priority for federal grant money to be allocated for airport pavement projects to protect the long-term investments that have been made to the nationwide airport system. To receive grants, airports must complete design and request reimbursement when the construction is bid. The city has received the grant funding through the FAA Airport Improvement Program.
The North Apron Rehabilitation is a project in the 2017 - 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 and includes the FAA AIP grant funding for the construction of this project.
