Gradisar, Mayor VIA: Brenda Armijo, City Clerk FROM: Greg Pedroza, Interim Director of Aviation SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND DIBBLE AND ASSOCIATES CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC., AN ARIZONA CORPORATION, TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,760 FOR THE WILDLIFE PERIMETER FENCE PROJECT NO. AP1902 AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME SUMMARY: This ordinance approves an agreement for engineering design services for Phase 2 of the Wildlife Perimeter Fence Project to accommodate Federal Aviation Administration requirements regarding wildlife on and near the Pueblo Memorial Airport. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Dibble and Associates was selected for an airport engineer master agreement on September 25, 2017 for a three-year term by Resolution No. 13785. This agreement included services related to airport perimeter wildlife fencing. City Council approved an application for supplemental funding under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) through Resolution No. 14065 on October 22, 2018. On May 28, 2019, the City approved Ordinance No. 9461, establishing the Airport Wildlife Fence Project No. AP1902, budgeting and appropriating funds for the design of the project and approving a contract with Dibble and Associates Consulting Engineers. Due to a change in expected funding sources, Resolution No. 14238 was approved by the City on July 8, 2019 authorizing the filing of an application for federal assistance with the FAA for the wildlife perimeter fence project from traditional AIP funds. On September 9, 2019, the City approved Ordinance No. 9535 accepting an FAA Grant, Ordinance No. 9536 approving an agreement with Dibble and Associates for Construction Management, and Ordinance No. 9537 awarding a contract to Kirkland Construction for Phase 1 of the Wildlife Perimeter Fence Project. BACKGROUND The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funded an Airport Improvement Program grant to conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment at the Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB). This Wildlife Hazard Assessment indicated that wildlife presented a safety hazard to the operation of aircraft and that a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan be written for PUB. This was completed and has been followed in the intervening years. A requirement of the plan is to replace the barbed wire fence on the east, north, and west boundaries of PUB with a wildlife fence to exclude hazardous mammal species. This is a capital-intensive project for which funding has not been available. Phase 1 of the project is in process and will be completed soon. This contract is for the design and related services of Phase 2 of the Wildlife Perimeter Fence project. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City must fund the design of the project upfront with an expected grant to come. Funds in the amount of $50,760.00 are available in the Wildlife Perimeter Fence Project AP1902. The application for the FAA grant is on City Council Agenda for approval at this meeting. The grant, once received and approved, would reimburse 95% of the design funds. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable. ALTERNATIVES: If this agreement is not approved, Phase 2 of the project will not be completed. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Aviation recommends approval of this ordinance.
