On April 9, 2012, the City Council approved a five-year contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide Civil Engineering services for the Airport, including project designs, surveys, development of project plans, specifications and bidding documents, and construction administration.  The five–year term contract is amended each time a project is undertaken, and Amendment 9 for $129,838, includes  the services listed above.

This project will demolish an existing hangar east of the Terminal and install new asphalt pavement for employee parking. By relocating employee parking to the new lot, the Airport will be able to increase the amount of paid parking at the Airport by nearly 200 stalls. Incorporating the old employee parking stalls into paid parking will reduce the amount of non-revenue generating overflow parking that the Airport has been forced to use. The scope of work and associated fees have been negotiated by staff and are acceptable for this engineering work.

The City Council may:

• Approve Amendment 9 for the Engineering Services with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for the construction of a new Airport Employee Parking Lot; or
• Decline to approve Amendment 9 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., possibly delaying the project.
   

The total cost of Amendment Nine is $129,838. Funding for this project  is available in the Airport Capital Improvement account.

Staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment Nine with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for $129,838 to provide Engineering Services for the construction of a new Airport Employee Parking Lot.
