RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute an amendment to the May 12, 2021, contract with W.E. Lyons Construction Company (W.E. Lyons), to increase the payment limit by an amount not to exceed $700,000, to a new payment limit of $14,633,040, in order to address two critical utility components.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund; the increased cost is fully funded by a combination of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants and Airport Enterprise Funds (approximately 66% FAA, 34% Airport Enterprise Fund).

BACKGROUND:

Two critical utility components for the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting facility, terminal, and administrative office (Terminal) at Buchanan Field Airport need to be updated: (1) $375,000 to connect to PG&E power from the requisite three-phase power supply to the building; and (2) $325,000 to install a sewer lift station to ensure proper sewage flow. The need for a lift station was determined after the project was bid and under construction. The combined $700,000 for utility improvements are required in order to complete construction of the Terminal.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board does not approve the construction contract amendment to include the two critical utility improvements, the Terminal cannot be completed.
