On January 14, 2013, the City Council approved a five-year contract with CTA Architects and Engineers, to provide the Airport with Architectural and Engineering services needed for building and building equipment designs, specifications and bidding documents, and related construction administration. The five-year term contract is amended each time a project is undertaken, and Amendment 1 for $32,082.70 includes the services listed above for this project.

This project will remove a 1971 water boiler that provides heat for the Terminal Building and replace it with multiple new high efficiency condensing boilers. The scope of work and associated fees have been negotiated by staff and are acceptable for this architectural/engineering work.  Staff is working to schedule this project for this Summer when the hot water heat is not needed.

The City Council may:

• Approve Amendment 1 for the Architectural Services for the  Hot Water Boiler Replacement Project with CTA Architects and Engineers; or
• Decline to approve Amendment 1 and delay this time sensitive project.
   

The total cost of the Architectural Services for this project is $32,082.70.  Funding for this project is available in the Airport's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) account.

Staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment 1 with CTA Architects and Engineers for $32,082.70 to provide Architectural Services at the Airport for the Hot Water Boiler Replacement project.
