Report Title: Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement with KSA ENGINEERS, Inc.
☐Recommendation of the County Administrator ☒ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute an amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement between the County and KSA Engineers, Inc., dated November 1, 2021, to allow the contractor to complete the grant close out documents for the Buchanan Field terminal project, extending the contract to June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The existing contract balance of approximately $79,000 will be used to cover the grant closeout costs, paid through the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
KSA Engineers, Inc., (KSA) is working with Airport staff to complete the required Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant closeout documents for the Buchanan Field ARFF and Terminal Building as part of their construction management responsibilities. The existing contract balance of approximately $79,000 will be used to cover the grant closeout costs. Completion and submittal of the FAA grant closeout documents will allow for the final reimbursement of eligible project expenditures already expended by the Airport Enterprise Fund.
This amendment only modifies the expiration date of the contract, all other provisions, including the contract amount remain unchanged.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract extension is not approved, Airports staff will not have the needed professional assistance with the grant closeout phase of the project, resulting in the delay of grant funds to the Airport Enterprise Fund.
