SUBJECT:

Title

Approval of a contract modification to KSA Engineers, Inc. for the Airport Taxilane Extension project.

 

Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

On October 22, 2015, the NBEDC approved up to $2.4 million for a project to extend the corporate taxilane by four hundred feet. The extension creates up to four new hangar sites and provides a road to access them. KSA was tasked with the design of this taxilane extension, and on March 14th, 2018 the City received seven bids. Curran was awarded the construction contract and began work on May 29, 2018.

 

KSA was hired to provide construction administration services, which included construction materials testing and a resident project representative as required by TXDOT Aviation for an amount of $200,559.

 

The project was scheduled for completion on October 25, 2018 and reached substantial completion April 5, 2019. The completion of the project was delayed due to correcting pavement defects. Due to the delay of the project, KSA was required to remain on-site and continue to provide project management.

 

KSA’s additional services have totaled $38,000. The additional cost and time associated with the project will be resolved with contractor before final payment.
