AGENDA CAPTION:
Consider Action to Approve a Resolution Approving a Contract Agreement Between the Town of Addison and Nu-Way Construction, LLC for Infrastructure and Development Services Related to Addison Airport Fuel Farm Exit Relocation, Perimeter Road Relocation, and Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $633,907.11.
BACKGROUND:
On December 11, 2018, City Council approved a ground lease with Black Forest Aviation RE, LLC for development of the Galaxy FBO on the approximately 16-acre parcel known commonly as the "Southeast Quadrant" (SEQ) of Addison Airport. To facilitate this redevelopment project, Addison Airport is relocating the exit lane used by fuel delivery tanker trucks at the Addison Airport Fuel Farm (moving it northwards to separate it from the main entrance of the proposed Galaxy FBO development) and relocating an approximately 800-foot-long section of the vehicle service road (perimeter road) that is located east of the south portion of Taxiway Alpha. The perimeter road is being shifted to the west to provide additional ramp space for the proposed Galaxy FBO. These two items are included in the Fiscal Year 2019 and Fiscal Year 2020 capital budgets for the airport.
The airport is also proposing to make repairs to various concrete pavements on the airport including several sections of the east vehicle service road (perimeter road). This work is similar to the concrete work proposed in support of the SEQ redevelopment, so the projects were assembled into a single bid package to make it more attractive to potential bidders.
Specifications for the above-described concrete paving work were advertised on BidSync. The bid package included Base Bid A, B, C and three Additive Alternates. Base Bid A is the fuel farm exit relocation. Base Bid B is the perimeter road relocation. Base Bid C includes the pavement repairs at American Flyers Road (Northbound) and American Flyers Apron Tango. Additive Alternate 1 is the pavement repair at American Flyers Apron Alpha. Additive Alternate 2 are the pavement repairs at Turbine Aircraft Service Road and the Flightline apron entrance. Additive Alternate 3 are the Perimeter Road and apron repairs at Flexjet. The bid closed on July 25, 2019 and the Town received 3 bids.

The total of funds budgeted and available for this project is $720,000. While Nu-Way Construction's bid total for the base bids and all three additive alternates was $718,181.61, awarding all of the additive alternates would not leave adequate allowance for contingencies. Therefore, based on the bid costs and priorities of areas needing repair, airport staff and our engineering consultant recommend the award of Base Bids A, B, C and Additive Alternates 1 and 3 to Nu-Way Construction as the lowest responsive bidder with a total bid of $633,907.11 for those items. Nu-Way Construction has performed work on the Addison Airport and other airports in the region. Staff, as well as Garver (the Airport's consulting engineer), are satisfied with Nu-Way Construction's references and work experience.
