SUMMARY
DATE: June 15, 2021
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Award of Bid No. 21-24 Rehabilitate Terminal Capital Equipment System at Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Killeen Fort Hood Regional Airport (KFHRA) staff submitted an application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant for the rehabilitation of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system at KFHRA. The existing system is almost 17 years old and has been experiencing increased maintenance issues over the last few years including some major component failures leading to increased repair costs and impacting the ability to heat and cool the terminal. This project will replace all major components of the HVAC system in the airport terminal including chillers, boilers, water pumps, air handlers, control systems, and other associated components. This project is listed on our approved FAA Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY21.
The City has been offered an FAA AIP grant in the amount of $3,898,271 to fund this project, of which $400 will be allocated for legal advertising, $204,000 for construction administration/management, and other associated costs, and $3,693,871 for the contract itself. Under normal circumstances, AIP grants require a 10% match from the airport sponsor. However, the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021, increases the federal share to 100 percent for AIP grants planned for fiscal year 2021.
On May 27, 2021, bids were opened; Three (3) bids were received. The results were as follows:
