Loading...
Summary
The council authorized a series of airport payments and FAA closeout submissions — runway and apron projects, terminal reconstruction, terminal expansion estimates, and a preconditioned air unit — and approved related invoices and anticipated reimbursements totaling several hundred thousand dollars in federal and state funding.
Council approved multiple payments, contract amendments and authorizations to submit FAA financial closeout reports for a suite of airport projects.
Airport staff summarized the work and funding for several AIP projects. For AIP 49 (runway rehabilitation and lighting), staff sought approval of Helms' final invoice ($8,926.45) and authorization to submit the financial closeout report for an estimated FAA reimbursement of $87,508.18; the council approved the payment and submission. For apron reconstruction (AIP 52), Helms' final invoice ($16,362.41) and a closeout submission with estimated reimbursement of $254,625.53 were approved. The council approved terminal access road and parking-lot final invoices (AIP 53/54) and related closeouts; staff noted different federal/state/city funding splits per project (examples: 90% federal/5% state/5% city for some projects, 95% federal/2.5% state/2.5% city for others).
On the terminal expansion (AIP 55/AIG 56), staff presented three payments: $704.35 to Helms, a pay estimate of $39,941.63 to Quest Construction, and $3,113.21 to Helms. Funding sources noted included a $1.2 million allocation from the aeronautics commission and $800,000 federal funds, leaving an approximate local share of $60,000.
The council also approved an $875 invoice for purchase assistance on AIP 57 (preconditioned air unit mounted on the jet bridge; 95% federal) and $5,622 for SRE building expansion design services (Helms invoice) that will increase the snow-removal building by 70 by 100 feet. Staff said some deliveries and project milestones are planned for summer months, with one PCA delivery moved to July.
All airport items moved on motions and passed on roll-call votes with no opposing votes recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will submit the FAA closeout reports to pursue federal reimbursements and continue project oversight.
