TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Steve Andras, P.E., Airport Manager
DATE: January 23, 2023
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a not-to-exceed agreement in the amount of $107,000 between Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. and the City of Aurora for Design Phase Engineering Services 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 consultant agreement with Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. to provide Design Phase Engineering Services.
BACKGROUND:
Landside 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 Rehabilitate Auto Parking Lots and Entrance Road ($1,450,000) and Overlay SE Quadrant Airport Perimeter Roadways - Phase 2 ($310,000) projects. These two projects cover the majority of the existing roadways and auto parking lots at ARR that are in need of rehabilitation.
Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. will be providing design engineering, plan preparation and bidding documents for this project.
DISCUSSION:
The total cost for this project is estimated to be $1,450,000 as shown above. The City's Local Match is $145,000. Funds for this project have been set aside in the airport's 2023 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request that you forward this agreement to the Finance Committee for their review and favorable recommendation.
