RE: Approve Amendment #1 to Professional Service Agreement with Strand
Associates Inc. for Engineering Construction Related Services; Aviation
Business Park (+$36,211)
BACKGROUND
The City received a $2,000,000 grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
to offset costs associated with site preparation and installation of utilities in the Aviation
Business Park adjacent to Wittman Airport on Ripple Avenue. Strand Associates was hired in
2016 to prepare bid specifications, plan drawings and provide engineering related services
associated with construction of the Aviation Business Park.
ANALYSIS
The original request for engineering services proposals had estimated total construction would
occur over five and one-half months. After Strand's proposal was accepted, changes were
made to the construction project to include the proposed water main loop from Aviation
Business Park to the frontage road. Staff and EDA representatives felt there was a chance the
additional water mail loop work could be included. Those plans were submitted to EDA and
after careful consideration, EDA indicated the water main loop could not be included under
the existing grant since it was not included in the original application. Strand was then
requested to revise the construction drawings and bid specifications to comply with EDA's
decision. These changes also delayed the project by two months.
FISCAL IMPACT
The EDA grant application estimated construction costs to be in the neighborhood of $4.6
million. As noted above, the City received a $2,000,000 grant from EDA to offset construction
costs associated with Aviation Business Park. The City borrowed $2.4 million in State Land
Trust funds for its share of the construction costs. Strand's proposed $36,211 increase, and the
$34,875 change order #2 increase to PTS Contractors Contract 15-09 (also on today's agenda),
will bring the total project costs to approximately $3.4 million. Approval of both of these
change orders will result in the project being completed about $1 million under budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Council approves Amendment #1 to Strand Associates agreement for engineering
construction related services for the Aviation Business Park in the amount of $36,211.
