Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Grant Agreement with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), in the amount of $42,465, for reimbursement of the North Apron Rehabilitation Phase One project at the Glendale Municipal Airport.
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. Phase One includes miscellaneous environmental study, project design, and pavement reconstruction in an amount available through federal and state funding.
In April of 2016, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Dibble & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc. for design of the North Apron Rehabilitation. This firm also assisted in the development of a bid package for Phase One reconstruction. Five bids were received and city Council approved a Construction Agreement with Combs Construction on October 25, 2016. Phase One rehabilitation is now complete with a construction cost of $583,337.37.
Future phases to complete the rehabilitation of the north apron, including additional areas of reconstruction (estimated at $4,707,580) and areas of mill and overlay (estimated at $1,092,500), will be scheduled, bid, and brought to City Council as federal funding becomes available, likely in summer of 2017.
Analysis
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has emphasized the priority for federal and state grant money to be allocated for airport pavement projects to protect the long-term investments that have been made to the nationwide and statewide airport system. To receive grants, airports must complete the design and request reimbursement when the construction project is bid or complete, depending on the agency.
This Grant Agreement with ADOT will reimburse the city $42,465 expended as part of the North Apron Rehabilitation Phase One project.
