RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute an amendment to the May 12, 2021, Contract (Construction Agreement), under which W.E. Lyons Construction Company will construct a new Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting facility, terminal, and administrative office at Buchanan Field Airport, to increase the payment limit by $279,705 to a new payment limit of $13,533,040.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

During the bidding of the new Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting, terminal and administrative office building there was an option to install an emergency generator for the facility. The Airports Division is recommending that this option, at a bid price of $279,705 be exercised.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If approval of the increase in the payment limit is not approved, the new Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting, terminal and administrative offices will not have emergency backup power.
