Commission approves $298,190 amendment to soil‑relocation contract tied to taxiway project
Summary
The commission approved an amendment increasing a soil relocation contract by $298,190 (bringing the total to not to exceed $1,436,638) to cover scope growth tied to the Midfield Taxiway project; staff said the work exceeded initial estimates and the amendment makes the contractor whole.
The Airport Advisory Commission voted unanimously to authorize an amendment to an existing soil relocation contract related to the Midfield Taxiway project, increasing the contract by $298,190 to a revised total not to exceed $1,436,638. Jason Alexander said the 2024 contract needed amendment because the project scope exceeded the initial estimated work and the change is intended to "make that contractor whole." Funding for the increase was noted as available in the Austin Aviation capital budget.
Why it matters: contract amendments tied to construction projects affect capital budgets and schedule risk; commissioners approved the amendment so work could continue without delay.
The motion passed unanimously without further condition.
