PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to enter into a consultant agreement with Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. to provide Design Phase Engineering Services.
BACKGROUND:
The Airport Improvement Program prioritizes the needs of the airport and is updated annually by the airport manager and the State of Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics (IDA) with the help of our airport consultant, Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc. This priority plan, otherwise known as TIPs is then used by the airport to establish corresponding capital improvement projects (CIPs) for budgeting purposes. A copy of the current TIPs spreadsheet is attached.
The Illinois Department of Transportation's Airport Improvement Program provides funding for projects at various airports throughout the state and has historically funded one or more projects each year at Aurora. The Illinois Department of Transportation, Office of Planning and Programming has selected the Phase 2: Airfield Pavement Rehabilitation Including General Aviation Apron and Taxiway P Project from our TIPs for Federal Fiscal Year 2018 (see OP&P Program Letter attached).
DISCUSSION:
The total cost of this project is estimated to be $640,000 of which our local match is $32,000.
Funds for this project have been set aside in our 2019 budget under CIP D046 in account no. 504-1810-433.73-99.
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.
