Board approves $75,000 increase to Garver task order after air‑tanker ramp coordination overruns
Summary
The airport board voted to recommend a $75,000 increase to Garver's construction‑management task order to cover extra professional hours tied to coordination issues (gas‑line and FAA fiber), funded from a $790,000 underrun on the air‑tanker ramp project.
Staff told the board Garver, the airport’s airside engineer, expended more professional hours than anticipated during the air‑tanker ramp construction because of unexpected coordination with Atmos (gas line) and FAA fiber relocation. Don said Garver exceeded estimates by about $150,000 but asked for a negotiated $75,000 task‑order increase to avoid placing the firm in a loss position; the proposed increase would be funded from the roughly $790,000 underrun on the ramp project.
"Garver has been very good to us," Don said, recounting the firm’s long service to the airport. He told the board the $75,000 increase is funded by returned construction dollars and recommended approval. The board approved the amendment by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
