TTG Utilities, Inc. submitted the only bid for the project for a total of $9,525,487.13. The project includes (2) two Base Bid schedules and (1) one additive alternate. The bid was reviewed by Aviation staff and our consultants, Garver Engineering, and found to meet all the requirements of the bid and was less than the Engineers Opinion of Probable Cost. TTG is a seasoned construction firm who has successfully completed airfield projects for the City’s Aviation Department and Fort Hood, on Robert Gray Army Airfield (RGAAF). We believe that the bid submitted by TTG Utilities represents a good value for the City of Killeen.
The FAA has notified the City that we will be receiving additional year end funding for the second grant, which would allow the City to award Additive Alternate 2 per Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $1,004,287.50. The additional match will come from the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) fund.
