Engineer’s Estimate |
Hamm, Inc. |
Kings Const. |
Fretco, Inc. |
Singer Excavating |
HDB Const. |
Emerson Const. |
Linaweaver Const. |
|
$1,111,741.00 |
443,678.00 |
534,981.00 |
595,217.45 |
749,596.00 |
854,055.84 |
920,029.00 |
1,014,071.00 |
As noted in the recommendation from ADG, the bid from Hamm, Inc. is responsive, compares favorably with the engineer’s estimate, and meets the proposal requirements. It is the opinion of ADG staff that available FAA funding should be sufficient to award this project. The only project costs in question are the gas line relocations. ADG continues to seek quotes for this work, as indicated in their letter.
Commission Action. Staff concurs with ADG’s recommendation of bid award. Therefore, we seek City Commission approval to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Hamm Inc. for $443,678.00 for Schedule I, 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 ($421,494). A grant offer from FAA would require 5% participation from the City ($22,184). This project is in the City’s CIP and Airport Master Plan and has been recommended by the Aviation Advisory Board.
