Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Dibble & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc., doing business as Dibble Engineering, Contract No. 10792, for construction administrative services in support of the North Apron Rehabilitation Phase I Project, in an amount not to exceed $72,106. 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 December of 2015, the Engineering Department advertised a Request for Proposals for the design and construction administration of this project. Five proposals were received and the evaluation committee selected Dibble Engineering as the best qualified firm based on their experience, project approach, and ability to provide the required services. Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dibble Engineering, Contract No. C-10792, for design services on April 12, 2016.
Council approved an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $865,000 on August 9, 2016 for North Apron Rehabilitation project. The grant was approved by the FAA on August 18, 2016.
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 design has been completed and bids were advertised for Phase I due on August 15, 2016.
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.
