Explanation
§ On November 24, 2014, the City Council approved a contract with Bergmann Associates, Architects, Engineers, P.C. dba Gantt Hubermann Architects for preliminary design and scope services of a new Airport Maintenance Facility.
§ The preliminary design effort validated the need for a new vehicle maintenance facility and bus wash facility.
§ Airport vehicle maintenance moved to their current location in 2005. Over the past decade the size of the shuttle bus fleet has increased beyond the capacity of the current shop.
§ Design services will include a vehicle maintenance facility of approximately 57,500 square feet at an estimated construction cost of $11 million and $1.5 million for the bus washing facility and site work.
§ On February 3, 2014, the Aviation Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for architectural and engineering design services. In response to the RFQ, the City received 29 proposals from interested service providers.
§ Aviation staff evaluated the proposals and determined that Bergmann Associates best meets the City’s needs based on their work on the preliminary scoping contract and knowledge of the Airport Maintenance Facility project.
