the Owner's Construction Allowance, for the Alliance Airport Control Tower HVAC Replacement for a Total Anticipated Project Cost of

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a construction contract with Infinity Contractor International, LTD, in the amount not to exceed $965,547.00,
including the owner's construction allowance, for the Alliance Airport Control Tower HVAC Replacement.
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Aviation Gas Lease Capital Project
Fund in the amount of $1,039,715.00 from available funds for the purpose of funding the Phase II design, construction and administrative
costs.
DISCUSSION:
The airport and tower were officially opened on December of 1989 and as the facilities age some building systems have out lived their expected
life span. City staff administratively engaged design firms to prepare construction documents, for all phases of the work, to replace the tower's
roofing and heating and air-conditioning equipment. Because of the need to keep the Air Traffic Control Tower operating at all times, the roofing
and supplemental air-conditioning system located on the roof of the tower cab was accomplished first as Phase 1, (M&C C-29036) February 12,
2019. This contract will complete Phase 2 of the project, replacing the HVAC system for the rest of the facility.
The City issued a Request for Proposals in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on October 17, 2019 and October 24, 2019. On November 21, 2019 the
City received three responses for the replacement project from general contractors. Two of these firms provided the required Post Proposal -Pre
Award Submittals to be further evaluated by the City. These firms were:
• DMI Corp., d/b/a Decker Mechanical
• Infinity Contractors International LTD
These proposals were reviewed by members of the Aviation Department, Office of Business Diversity and the Property Management Department.
References were checked, the M/WBE Office evaluated their sub -consulting plans and the proposal were reviewed for completeness. Based on
this evaluation, the selection team recommends award of the construction contract to Infinity Contractors International LTD.
