Title
Approval of Airport Terminal Renovations professional services contract
Body
SUMMARY: The City applied for an FAA Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Grant for the Renovations of the Airport Terminal Building. The City has been awarded this grant for a total construction cost of $649,980.00 which includes a match from the City at an amount of $32,000.
The City awarded a contract with Atkins for the design of a “Design Build” project because of the FAA grant timeline. The FAA has now relayed to TDOT that the monies would be turned over to TDOT by the designated grant date and the project timeline did not require such a fast pace which required the “Design Build” process.
The City has requested that Atkins provide a contract for a conventional “Design, Bid, Construct” project in the amount of $63,200. This amount also includes services for a Documented CATEX. This will replace the previous approved “Design, Build” contract. This is an increased contract amount because of the additional services in the contract.

Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the contract.
