On April 10, 2017, the City Council approved a five-year 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.  Amendment No. 5, for $51,954, includes all the services listed above that are required for this project.

This project will construct an Airline Support Facility (ASF) that will provide a sanitary waste disposal area and deicing water fill station for the airlines operating at the Airport. Currently, the airlines collect the sanitary waste from the aircraft in small portable tanks and transport them to an area where they are pumped out by a waste collection company. If the collection company does not clean the tanks in a timely manner, incoming aircraft may be delayed if they need to empty their sanitary waste tanks. The airlines' deicing trucks currently use the water feeds in the Airport's Operations Building equipment bays to mix the deicing fluid for the aircraft deicing operations. During the Winter months when both airline deicing and Airport snow removal operations are occurring, the bay area can become congested with equipment and personnel, which can lead to accidents and or delays in the airlines filling their equipment for deicing operations. This new facility will provide the airlines with a place where they can quickly deposit the waste into the sewer system, rinse out their equipment, and have access to water for aircraft deicing operations.

The scope of work and associated fees for this project have been negotiated by staff and are acceptable for this engineering work. A copy of this Amendment No. 5 is on file in the City Clerk's Office.

• Approve Amendment No. 5 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for the engineering services required for the ASF Project; or
• Disapprove Amendment No. 5 with Morrison-Maierle, Inc., and direct staff on how to proceed.
