Due to the specialized nature of engineering services required for airfield infrastructure design, including knowledge of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design and grant funding process, the City has historically entered into a five-year term contract to provide engineering services at the Airport. The City approved a five-year contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide the design surveys, development of project plans, specifications and bidding documents, contract administration including coordination meetings, pay requests, etc. The contract also includes full time on-site inspection, construction surveys, and development and submittal of the final project closeout documents.  The base five-year contract is amended each time a new project is undertaken, and Amendment #19 for $64,895 includes all of the services indicated above for the Terminal Circle Road Rehabilitation Project. The pavement on the road is over 20 years old and is starting to deteriorate and break up.  This project will remove one and one-half inches of pavement surface and replace it with new asphalt pavement.  Additionally, the pavement surface in the Airport Administrative parking lot, east of the Terminal, will be removed and replaced.  This project has to be planned to ensure one lane of traffic is open around Terminal Circle Road and access in and out of the parking lots will not be affected.  The scope of work and associated engineering fees have been reviewed and negotiated by Airport staff.

The City Council may:

• Approve Amendment 19 for Engineering Services for the Terminal Circle Road Rehabilitation with Morrison-Maierle, Inc.; or
• Decline to approve Amendment 19, possibly delaying the project.

The total cost of Amendment 19 for Engineering Services for the Terminal Circle Road Rehabilitation with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. is $64,895. The source of funding for these fees will be the Airport's capital fund.
