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), under which W.E. Lyons is building the new Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting facility, terminal, and administrative offices at Buchanan Field Airport, to increase the payment limit by an amount not to exceed $400,000 to a new payment limit of $13,933,040.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The existing Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) water main location was located under the new terminal building site. The original expected design in the bid documents was not approved by CCWD. As such, staff and the consultant team has been working with CCWD to redesign the water main to an approved design. Due to the age of the existing facilities, the approved design included broader replacement of the water main line than original bid on which is significantly increasing the cost for this work. The approved CCWD design has an estimated cost of $400,000 but staff and the consultant team are working further with CCWD to value engineer the work to reduce the overall cost. To minimize further project delays which can increase costs to the County, this request includes the current estimated project design costs, and any value engineer savings would remain with the Airport Enterprise Fund. The broader water main line changes are required by the CCWD to approve connection of the new building.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board does not approve the CCWD permit plan set, CCWD will not provide water to the new building pending further negotiation. The Contract payment limit increase approval is necessary to move forward with the installation of the water main replacement so that the CCWD system loop is back in place and water provided to the new building. Without water service, the building project will have to cease.
