DATE: April 17, 2024
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agency Agreement with the State of Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics and a consultant agreement between Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. and the City of Aurora for Construction Phase Engineering Services in the not-to-exceed amount of $152,000 for the Rehabilitate Auto Parking Lots and Entrance Road Project (ARR-4544) located at the Aurora Municipal Airport.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to enter into a Construction Phase Engineering Agreement with Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. as well as an Agency Agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics.
BACKGROUND:
Land side airport roads and auto parking lots are non-revenue producing and therefore ineligible for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding. However, under the Rebuild Illinois Airports Capital Funding Bill, ARR was successful in receiving funding for the much needed Rehabilitation of the airport's deteriorating Auto Parking Lots and Entrance Road.
Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. will be providing construction phase engineering services for this project as they have been selected as the City of Aurora's aviation engineering consultant under resolution R23-083.
DISCUSSION:
The total cost for this project is estimated to be $1,611,093. The City's Local Share is $306,093, approximately 19% of the total cost. Funds for this project have been set aside in the airport's 2024 budget under CIP D055 in account number 504-4454-433.73-99.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This project should have no adverse impact to the City of Aurora and should reduce the ongoing cost of maintaining the airport infrastructure, etc.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request that you forward this agreement to the Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee for their review and favorable recommendation.
