RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
1 Authorize anon-interest bearing inter-fund loan from the unreserved, undesignated General
Fund balance to the Grants Fund in the amount of 5160,438 00, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Grants Fund by 5160,438 00 for interim financing, and
3 Execute Change Order Number One to the contract with H B Zachry Construction
Company for improvements to Alliance Airport in the amount of 5160,437 43 The
contract duration will be increased by sixty five workings days
DISCUSSION
The City Council approved a contract with H B Zachry Construction Company for improvements
to Alliance Airport on April 9, 1996 (M&C C-15394) in the amount of $6,683,763 30 The City
accepted two grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fund the construction and
related costs The total of the grants for this project amounts to 58,172,222 with the FAA
contributing ninety percent (90%) or 57,355,000 Subsequent to the start of construction, the
FAA insisted that the thresholds be displaced so as to provide 1,000 feet of safety zone on each
end of the Runway These improvements are part of the City's commitment to Federal Express
In order to meet Federal Express' schedule, the work must be done at this time This requires
that a substantial amount of electrical work and runway marking, already completed, be redone
The Contractor has proposed a schedule of revised unit prices which will add 5160,437 43 to
the cost of the project The schedule has been reviewed by the City's consulting engineer,
Carter and Burges, and found to be fair and reasonable Since the change has been direct by
FAA, we are assured that the expense involved will be grant eligible, reimbursable at ninety
percent (90%) Funds will be returned to the General Fund when reimbursed by the FAA
This change order increases the project cost to more than the grants accepted to fund it The
FAA allows amendments to its grants up to one hundred and fifteen percent (1 15 %) of the
original grant amount It does not accept a grant amendment until the project is complete and
the final cost is known Interim funding is needed from the unreserved, undesignated General
Fund balance pending grant amendment and reimbursement from the FAA
