SUMMARY
AGENDA ITEM
Bid Recommendation - Bid No. 16-28 - Contract with Unified Services of Texas, Inc. for Renovation of the Army Radar Approach Control (ARAC) Building at Robert Gray Army Airfield
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
Aviation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Killeen has been awarded and the City Council approved acceptance of a Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG) from the State of Texas for the repair and rehabilitation of the Army Radar Approach Control (ARAC) facility located on Robert Gray Army Airfield (RGAAF). The ARAC houses equipment which enables qualified personnel to control all aircraft within a sixty (60) mile radius of RGAAF. More importantly, this facility directly controls the restricted airspace and military operating areas around Fort Hood that permit the training of its troops, including necessary live-fire training and unmanned aerial systems operations. Without this facility, Fort Hood would be unable to meet its power projection mission, its training mission, or its Army aviation mission. Equally, without the ARAC, the KFHRA would not function as the region’s premier commercial service airport.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
To complete the construction component of this repair and renovation, the City released a request for competitive sealed bids with construction documents for review by potential contractor. The project was advertised in the Killeen Daily Herald, the City, Demand Star, Texas Electronic State Business Daily, and ION Wave websites. A pre-bid meeting was held on September 1 to allow prospective bidders to view the site and ask questions germane to the project. On Thursday, September 15, at 2:15 PM, bids were opened; the seven bids received are summarized in the following table:
