SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
On May 25, 2021, the Board approved an agreement with Armstrong Consultants, Inc. to be the Town's Consultant of Record that helps the municipality with airport related grant applications, and design and management of airport capital projects over the next five years. All projects are dependent upon Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP), Colorado Division of Aeronautics (CDOA), and Town joint funding.
The first amendment covered design of the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) relocation that is currently under construction. This second amendment is for grant assistance, design, and construction management of improvements to Taxiway A and apron areas. The Town received a proposal from Armstrong in the amount of $257,788. An independent fee estimate (IFE) was completed by KLJ Engineering as part of FAA requirements.
Staff and the FAA reviewed Armstrong's proposal and found it to be acceptable. Accordingly, staff recommends Town Council approve the amendment. Staff also requests an additional $32,212 for contingency. FAA grant applications have been submitted to the FAA for approval. Funding is expected to be 90% FAA, 5% CDOA, 5% Town.
