SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND SHORT ELLIOTT
HENDRICKSON INC. (SEH) FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN THE
AMOUNT OF $557,789 RELATING TO THE REHABILITATION OF
TAXIWAY D AND A PORTION OF THE AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON
AT THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT AND AUTHORIZING THE
PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution approving an agreement for engineering services relating to
the rehabilitation of Taxiway D and a portion of the aircraft parking apron at the Airport.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved a contract with SEH on April 9, 2012 under Resolution No. 12361
to provide engineering services to the Pueblo Memorial Airport for 3 years with 2 one
year options. On February 24, 2014, Resolution No. 12903 was approved authorizing
the filing of an application for Federal assistance from the FAA to rehabilitate Taxiway D
and a portion of the aircraft parking apron at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. City Council
also approved Ordinance No. 8708 on March 24, 2014 accepting a Colorado State of
Aeronautics grant to fund 2.5% of this project. On April 14, 2014, City Council approved
Ordinance No. 8725 that established Project AP1402-Taxiway D Rehab and budgeting
State grant funds and the City’s matching funds into the project. On September 8,
2014, City Council approved Resolution No. 13048 accepting a Federal grant for this
nd
project and an Ordinance is on this agenda for the 2 reading to ratify the resolution
and budget the funds into the project. The passage of this Resolution is contingent
upon the approval of Ordinance Item R-3.
BACKGROUND
The pavement on Taxiway D and the associated apron area needs to be rehabilitated.
This project is on the Airport’s CIP with both the Federal and State governments. This
agreement with SEH is for the engineering services for the project. Since the airport
has a current contract with SEH to provide these services, the project was not put out to
bid for engineering. However, the FAA requires that an Independent Fee Analysis (IFE)
be completed and the engineer’s scope of work be negotiated. Earlier this year,
Leverington & Associates did an IFE and the scope of work was then negotiated with
SEH. The FAA was apprised of the IFE and the outcome of the negotiations and has
approved the SEH contract, placing funds to cover this contract into the grant.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds in the amount of $577,789 will be expended from Project AP1402-Taxiway D
Rehab. The Federal grant will pay for $548,899 (95%) and the State grant will pay for
$14,444 (2.5%). The City’s match is $14,446.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The project will only close small portions of the airport at any one time. Access will be
provided for pilots wanting to use the facility and there should be minimal interference
with any of the businesses on the Airport.
ALTERNATIVES:
Since City Council has accepted grants from the State and Federal government, the
project has to move forward. In order to do that, this agreement with the engineers
must be approved.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the agreement.
