Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Grant Application and Agreement for rehabilitation and construction of taxiway A-2 at the Bisbee Douglas International Airport in the amount of $644,424, including County match of 4.47%, or $31,633.
Background:
On December 14, 2010, the County accepted a grant offer from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Arizona Department of Transportation (Aeronautics Group), to complete Phase I of Design and Engineering for Rehabilitation of Taxiways A1 and A2 at the Bisbee-Douglas International Airport. The grant agreement for this phase of the project was made by the FAA on July 22, 2010 (in the amount of $150,000), accepted and executed by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on July 27, 2010. During the design and engineering phase of the project, it was determined that taxiway A1 was damaged to the extent that fog sealing of the taxiway would not be economically prudent. As a result, an addendum was executed on August 6, 2012, reviewed/approved by ADOT and the FAA, changing the scope of work to exclude taxiway A1 from the project. Design and engineering was completed by Armstrong Consultants, Inc., on June 29, 2012, and the project went through a formal bidding process supervised by the Cochise County Procurement Department. Bids were opened and reviewed on August 9, 2012, and KE&G Construction Inc., were selected as the contractor for completion of Phase II of the project for rehabilitation and construction of taxiway A2 at the Bisbee-Douglas International Airport.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Provide the FAA with an approved grant agreement from the BOS, and 4.47% ($31,633) in matching funds to proceed with completion of the project.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Taxiway A2 rehabilitation and construction will not occur, resulting in further deterioration of the taxiway until a more expensive alternative is programmed into the Airport Improvement Program (AIP); which could take three to four years before additional funding is once again available through the FAA.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Two (2) draft copies of the Grant Agreement are being provided to the Clerk of the Board. Original copies are pending delivery via Fedex and will be made available to the BOS prior to the scheduled board meeting. After formal Board action and appropriate signatures, please return one copy of the original agreement to the Facilities Management Department (ATTN: Eddie Levins).
