Agenda item |
Please place the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at their May 23, 2006 meeting:
Project Status. Construction bids were opened on May 16th for Schedules I and II for the parallel taxiway construction project. Attached please find recommendations from ADG, the City’s engineering consultant, to award the contract to the following bidder:
Schedule I – Construct South Portion of Parallel Taxiway
Schedule II – Construct North Potion of Parallel Taxiway
|
Project Scope |
Engineer’s Estimate |
Hamm Inc. Bid |
|
Schedule I |
$783,716.60 |
$962,734,30 |
|
Schedule II |
$662,536.90 |
$682,540.10 |
|
Total |
$1,446,253.50 |
$1,645,274.40 |
As noted in the recommendation from ADG, the bid from Hamm, Inc. is reasonable, given the bidding climate that exists, due to the fluctuations in the oil market this construction season.
Commission Action. Staff concurs with ADG’s recommendation of bid award. Therefore, we seek City Commission approval to waive the engineer’s estimate and authorize the Interim City Manager to enter into a contract with Hamm Inc. for $962,734.30 for Schedule I and $682,540.10 for Schedule II, pending approval from FAA and subject to the level of FAA funding available for this project. Full funding would involve a grant offer from FAA amounting to 95% of the project costs ($914,597 and $648,413 for Schedule I and II, respectively). A grant offer from FAA would require 5% participation from the City ($48,137 and $34,127 for Schedule I and II, respectively). This project is in the City’s CIP and Airport Master Plan and has been recommended by the Aviation Advisory Board.
