Summary
The committee authorized an amendment and a planning agreement with Crawford, Murphy and Tilley for an updated airport layout plan with total cost $400,400 and a city share described as 2.5% ($10,010); vote passed 4-0.
The Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee approved a retainer amendment and a planning and special services agreement not to exceed $400,400 with Crawford, Murphy and Tilley Inc. to update the Aurora Airport layout plan and produce a narrative report.
Airport Manager Steve Andress told the committee the amendment clarifies language in the five-year retainer agreement and specifically authorizes an airfield geometry study under the master plan heading. "The total cost for the project is $400,400. Our share is 2 and a half percent or $10,010," Andress said, and said the study will have federal participation and support the decommissioning of the north-south runway.
Andress said the city’s retainer with its aviation consultant is on a five-year cycle and an RFP will be issued next year; committee members were told the item will be handled through a budget amendment. Vice Chair Patty Smith asked whether the project was budgeted; staff responded that a budget amendment will be processed. A motion to approve was recorded as offered by Alderman Garza and seconded by Alderman Will White; the committee approved the item by voice vote, 4-0.
The resolution moves forward to implement the airfield geometry study and the associated planning work, with the city’s share of costs identified in the meeting record as $10,010.
