On April 10, 2017, the City Council approved a five-year term contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide all civil engineering services for the Airport, including the project designs, surveys, development of the project plan, specifications and bidding documents, and construction administration. The five-year term contract is amended each time a project is undertaken, and Amendment  No. 4, for $117,697, includes all the services listed above for this project. The Airport's Operations Building provides the indoor parking for the Airport's airfield maintenance and fire fighting equipment. The asphalt pavement around this building is 25 years old and is well past its expected service life. The worst deterioration occurred at the equipment bay door entrances and exits, as the heavy fire equipment and snow removal equipment must follow the same track in and out the parking areas, subsequently creating ruts in the asphalt pavement. This project will provide 8,000 square feet of additional concrete surface at the entrances and exits of the equipment bay doors, reducing the potential for future pavement rutting from this heavy equipment.

The project also includes 55,000 square feet of new asphalt pavement on the north side of the Operations Building to replace the existing asphalt that is beginning to spall and break into pieces. This phase of the project will remove 2.5" of existing asphalt pavement, install a layer of paving fabric, and install 2.5" of new asphalt. The scope of work and associated fees for the total project have been negotiated by staff and found acceptable for this engineering work. A copy of Amendment  No. 4 is on file in the City Clerk's Office.

City Council may:

• Approve Amendment No. 4 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for the engineering services required for the Airport's Operations Building Paving Project; or
• Disapprove Amendment No. 4 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. and direct staff on how to proceed.

The total cost of this Amendment No. 4 is $117,697. The project will be funded 90% with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) entitlement grant funds and 10% local match funds. The FAA's grant funding will be $105,927.30 and the City's local match will be $11,769.70. The local match funds are budgeted and available in the Airport's Capital Account.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 4 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., for the amount of $117,697, to provide engineering services for the Airport's Operations Building Paving Project.
