FROM: Steve Andras, P.E., Acting Airport Manager
DATE: June 29, 2021
SUBJECT:
Reject previous bids and accept proposal from F.H. Paschen for the installation of approximately 1,800 L. F. of perimeter security fencing on the northeast side of the Aurora Municipal Airport.
PURPOSE:
To reject bids from two separate bid openings and accept a proposal from F.H. Paschen under the Job Order Contracting program (JOC) in a not-to-exceed amount of $85,595.
BACKGROUND:
Security fencing is required by the FAA in order to minimize runway incursions by wildlife or pedestrians. A Decision Package was approved in 2019 for the installation of security fencing on the northeast side of the airport in the amount of $35,000 per year over a four-year period".
The formal bid process was attempted twice, once in September 2020 and again in April 2021. The low bidder in 2020 was deemed ineligible as they did not supply the required Department of Labor certifications. The 2021 bid opening had only one bidder whose proposal was approximately $90,000 over the project's estimated cost.
As a result of the previous bidding results F.H. Paschen was contacted through the City's Job Order Contracting program (JOC) (R20-221) to provide a quote for this project. A copy of all bids are attached for your review.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of this request will allow the airport to comply with the FAA's directive to work towards securing the northeast section of the airport by completing the gap in the security fencing in this area.
Funds are available in account 504-1810-433.38-05 for this project.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The approval of this project will have no negative impacts.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We are requesting a favorable recommendation from the Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee"
