PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
On April 9, 2012, the City Council approved a five-year contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide engineering services for the project designs, surveys, development of project plans, specifications and bidding documents, and contract administration. The five-year term contract is amended each time a project is undertaken, and Amendment 21 for $91,571 includes all of the services listed above for this project.
This project will extend the east taxi lane, installing 400' of new 8" thick asphalt pavement that will provide aircraft access to the airfield's taxiway and runway system for existing and future hangars on the east end of the Airport. Work items included in this Amendment include design reports, environmental review categorical exclusion submittals, full time construction oversight, and a construction operation phasing plan. The scope of work and associated fees have been negotiated by staff and are acceptable for this engineering work. The construction work is anticipated to start in the Spring of 2016.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve Amendment 21 for the engineering services with Morrison-Maierle, Inc.; or
- Decline to approve Amendment 21 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., and advise staff on how to proceed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of Amendment 21 is $91,571. The engineering fees are funded 90% with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) entitlement grant funds and 10% local match funds. The FAA's portion will be $82,413.90 and the City's match will be $9,157.10. This project's local match funds are available in the Airport's Capital Account.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment 21 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for the engineering services for the Taxi Lane East Construction project for the amount of $91,571.
