Committee approves direct contract with Northeast Cable to run cabling for Garfield Boulevard parking lot
Summary
To meet a November operational deadline, the Finance Committee approved waiving bids to contract directly with Northeast Cable to install underground cabling and fiber linking the domestic terminal to the new parking lot on Garfield Boulevard; the presenter said the vendor quoted about $54,256 and acknowledged an agenda typo listing $56,000.
The Finance Committee approved a request to waive the competitive‑bidding process and contract directly with Northeast Cable to install underground cabling and fiber optics from the domestic terminal to a new parking lot on Garfield Boulevard.
An airport presenter said the council previously approved funding for the parking lot and that the cabling and communications work is a secondary but necessary piece of the project. To meet a November ready‑for‑operation deadline, staff recommended using Northeast Cable, a vendor the city has used previously, which provided a quote the presenter described in the meeting as $54,256.
Councilor Trimble clarified that the agenda listed $56,000; the presenter acknowledged the discrepancy and said the $56,000 figure was a typo and that the correct amount is about $54,000. A motion to approve direct contracting with Northeast Cable was made and seconded; with no objection the committee approved the request.
The presenter described the price as reasonable given the extent of cabling and fiber work required to connect the lot to the domestic terminal. The transcript records the vendor name (Northeast Cable) and the corrected quote as read in the meeting; contract execution and scheduling were described as necessary to meet the project timeline.
