HENDRICKSON INC. (SEH) FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING

SUMMARY:
This Resolution approves an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services with Short
Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) for the rehabilitation of Runway 17/35 at Pueblo Memorial
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.
BACKGROUND
The existing pavement on the northern half of Runway 17/35 was applied in the early 1980s
and has begun to deteriorate and produce debris which is a hazard to aircraft. The
southern 3,310 feet of the runway has been rehabilitated in the last few years in conjunction
with other projects. This project will rehabilitate the northern 5,000 feet of the runway as
well as install a new airfield lighting system on the entire runway to replace the current
system that is over 20 years old. Storm drain improvements to the existing system where
damage has occurred will be performed as well.
The FAA is requiring a Resolution approving the Agreement for Professional Engineering
Services be completed and submitted with the Application for Federal Assistance. In
accordance with FAA requirements, staff conducted an Independent Fee Estimate of this
cost. Leverington and Associates estimate of the scope of work came within 0.5% of SEH’s
proposal and was deemed acceptable by the Federal Aviation Administration.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total amount of the engineering services for this project is $896,719.25. If the Federal
grant is offered and accepted, the federal share will be $851,883.28. If the State grant is
offered and accepted, the State’s share will be $21,297.08. The City’s match will be
$23,538.88. Funding is contingent upon the Federal and State grants being offered and
accepted.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the runway is not repaired, it will become unusable and will need to be closed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Aviation Department that the Agreement for Professional
Engineering Services be approved.
