SUBJECT
Agreement with Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly, Inc. for Construction Phase Services for Taxiway B Reconstruction at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, Project #3-29-0013-015.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This agreement is for construction phase services for the reconstruction of Taxiway B at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport (CGI). The construction phase services include preparation of construction plans and project manual, provide construction administration, onsite construction observation, and materials testing. This project will be funded with 100% grant funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Taxiway B is one of six (6) taxiways at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport. Taxiway B is part of CGI’s primary runway taxiway system and is frequently used for airline and large aircraft operations. The current taxiway width is 75ft; 25ft wider than the required 50ft width to support Critical Design Aircraft (ARC C-III) - narrow body commercial/freighter aircraft such as a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320. Because of its width and pavement strength, it is the only taxiway utilized for large military aircraft such as a C-130 and C-17 Globemaster III.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) conducted Pavement Condition Inventory in January 2021 for National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) airports. This inventory surveyed the condition of the entire airfield to provide information to assist with maintenance and repair planning. The overall condition of the airfield was rated 68 within a PCI range of 0-100. This rating indicates major rehabilitation is needed in several areas of the airfield infrastructure. Taxiway B is the lowest rated surface within the airfield taxiway system, with a PCI of 28. Due to the low PCI, a complete reconstruction is necessary to ensure CGI is able to support the aircraft types that utilize this taxiway.
A complete reconstruction includes demolishing the existing Taxiway B from Runway 10-28 to the apron, drainage improvements, new airfield lighting and signage, and repairs to the South/East apron. The taxiway will be constructed utilizing the necessary taxiway design geometry and width of 50ft to continue the airport’s ability to support aircraft in the ARC C-III category. This project will also require relocating a portion of Taxiway B, to be renamed A2, due to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, to eliminate direct access from the apron to the runway. Refer to Exhibits A and B, attached, for the current and proposed taxiway configurations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the design phase agreement, as attached, will total an amount not to exceed $314,811.16. The agreement is to be funded with 100% grant funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
An Independent Fee Estimate was conducted by WSP, Inc. in compliance with FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5100-14. The AC states agreements for Planning, Design, and Construction Management Services over $100,000.00 must have an independent review to ensure the fee is fair and reasonable. Based on the IFE conducted, the fee proposed by CMT for design services to reconstruct Taxiway B is fair and reasonable.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Crawford, Murphy, Tilly, Inc. for Construction Phase Services to reconstruct Taxiway B at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport for an amount not to exceed $314,811.16.
