TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO,
A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND CH2M HILL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
IN THE AMOUNT OF $291,536 PLUS $29,154 IN CONTINGENCIES RELATED TO
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR A NEW TRAINING RUNWAY AT

COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
ISSUE
Should City Council approve an agreement with CH2M Hill to provide professional
services relating to the environmental assessment for a new training runway at Pueblo
Memorial Airport.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The FAA Office of Runway Safety has requested that Runway 8R/26L be closed due to
safety concerns. Because of the high level of training on this runway, it cannot be
closed until a new runway has been built. Therefore, the FAA has agreed to fund the
building of a new training runway before closing 8R/26L; however, an environmental
assessment of the airport has to be completed before the runway can be built.
Requests for proposals were received and a selection committee chose CH2M Hill to do
the assessment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $291,536 plus $29,154 in contingencies will be expended from
Project AP0804. A federal grant will pay for 95% of the project and a state grant will
pay for 2.5% of the project. The City's share of the project will be $7,288 plus $729 in
contingencies.
