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 10 for $192,278 includes the services listed above.

This Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded project will rehabilitate 27,000 square feet of the 20 year old deteriorating asphalt ramp adjacent to the air carrier apron. The project will remove the old pavement, rebuild the aggregate sub-base, and repave 8 inches of asphalt. The project will also include maintenance repairs to Runway 7/25 for some abnormally large lateral asphalt cracks, the cost of which will be paid for with local funds.  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 10 for the Engineering Services with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for the Airport Ramp Rehabilitation project; or
• Decline to approve Amendment 10 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., and advise staff on how to proceed.

The total cost of Amendment 10 is $192,278. The eligible portion of the project engineering to be funded with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AIP grant is $185,670.  The 90% Federal portion of the eligible costs is $167,103, and the remaining balance of the project's engineering fees totals $25,175 and will be paid with local funds.

Staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment 10 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., for the Engineering Services associated with the Airport Ramp Rehabilitation project, for the amount of $192,278.
