Information

Referral History:

Contra Costa County Public Works Airports Division applied for a $3,125,000 grant based on bid for security upgrades at Buchanan Field by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Board authorized the grant on June 16, 2020 and Kimley Horn was contracted to do the design of the project on November 1, 2020. The Board approved putting the project out for bid on March 2, 2021. Kimley Horn completed the design and the Project was put out for bid.

Referral Update:

The bid opening in April revealed bids that were significantly higher than expected with the lowest responsible bidder at $6,440,432.00. The Airport continued the normal grant process with the Federal Aviation Administration. If the FAA cannot find additional grant funds for the Project the Airport will have to cancel the Project or reduce the work scope and rebid the Project.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Provided the FAA can find additional funds and upon receiving approval for the project to move forward, initiate the contract process with the Contractor. The Board would then approve that contract and construction will begin this summer.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

There will be no impact to the General Fund. The Federal Aviation Administration has planned to fund approximately $3,125,000, with any additional funding provided by Caltrans ($140,000) and the Airport Enterprise Fund, however without additional funds from the FAA the Project will have to be delayed or canceled.
