Improvements Plan, a project is shown to replace the old runway/taxiway lighting regulators
(currently located in the basement of the old terminal building) and place them in an above-ground
vault; and,
WHEREAS,at the April 14,2020,City Council meeting,an addendum was approved to the
existing Professional Services Agreement with Bolton & Menk to conduct the additional design
work(all eligible under the existing grant) to replace the airfield lighting as a bid-alternate in the
original electrical vault plans; and,
WHEREAS, the electrical vault project is budgeted for $293,208 (base bid) with an
additional $388,305 in design and construction for the runway lighting project (bid alternate), and
this brought the estimated total budget to $681,513; and,
WHEREAS,the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)had indicated that the project would
be funded at 100%Federal participation(no local match)as part of the Coronavirus Aid,Relief,and

WHEREAS,it should be noted that the 100%FAA construction funding is separate from the
$69,000 in Federal aid awarded to the Airport through the CARES Act for operational assistance;

an update to the Airport's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise(DBE)program,setting the DBE goal
of 0.6% for the FY 2020/21 Airport Improvements Program(Electrical Vault&Lighting Project);
and,
WHEREAS, the DBE goal is established by professional recommendation from the

in the region that could reasonably perform that type of work.
