Body
DATE: August 20, 2024
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Garver, LLC
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
A portion of Taxiway E at the Killeen Regional Airport needs rehabilitation. However, due to changes in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) taxiway design standards, any rehabilitation to this taxiway requires relocation.
The City applied for and received an FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant for the design phase of this project. The project design has been completed and bids were received and opened on June 12, 2024. The acceptance of the recommended bid will be considered under a separate agenda item.
The construction phase of this project will be funded through a combination of funding from the FAA AIP, FAA Discretionary funds, a Community Project Funding grant supported by Congressman Pfluger and the match will come from the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Fund. The FAA requires federally funded projects to have professional experienced oversite and documentation of the construction process.
To that end, staff has negotiated a professional services agreement with Garver, LLC, in the amount of $781,036, for the Construction Administration, On-Site Resident Project Representative Services, Construction Materials Testing, and Project Closeout Services for the relocation of Taxiway E. The Garver team is the Aviation Department's engineer of record and was selected in accordance with State Law.
