On April 10, 2017, the City Council approved a five-year contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide all the Airport's project designs, surveys for the development of the project plans, and contract administration. The five-year term contract is amended each time a project is undertaken, and Amendment 12 for $214,628 will provide the Design Survey and Design Specifications for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded Reconstruction of the Airport Commercial Aircraft Concrete Ramps Project.  The project is made up of five sections of the commercial ramp. The first section is considered emergency work due to ASR (Aggregate Silica Reaction) conditions that is causing the existing concrete to break into small pieces and creating FOD (Foreign Object Debris) near aircraft. The additional four concrete ramps will be affected by the Terminal Expansion project, which includes creating new aircraft parking locations, storm water design, and utility design to the new building. 

The scope of work and associated engineering fees for these services have been reviewed and negotiated by staff and approved by the FAA. 

City Council may:

• Approve Amendment 12 with Morrison-Maierle for engineering services to provide the Design Survey and Design Specifications for the Reconstruction of the Airport Commercial Aircraft Concrete Ramps Project; or
• Decline to approve Amendment 12, delaying the project.

The total cost of Amendment 12 with Morrison-Maierle for the Design Survey and Design Specifications for the Preliminary Design Phase for the Reconstruction of the Airport Commercial Aircraft Concrete Ramps is $214,628, and will be funded 90% with a FAA AIP grant and with a 10% local match. The Federal share will be $193,165 and the Airport's local share will be $21,463. This project is included in the Capital Improvement Program and the local funds are available in the Airport's Capital account.
 

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment 12 with Morrison-Maierle for the preliminary engineering services associated with the Reconstruction of the Airport Commercial Aircraft Concrete Ramps Project for the amount of $214,628.
