Explanation
§ On August 9, 2021, City Council approved a contract with Messer Construction Co. in the amount of $598,999 for preconstruction management at risk services for the Federal Inspection Station Facility (FIS) and Concourse D Renovations project.
§ On August 22, 2022, City Council approved a contract with Messer Construction Co. in the amount of $4,448,091 for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services to provide for the installation of fire protection system upgrades for the FIS and Concourse D Renovations project.
§ This contract will allow the CMAR to procure the major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) equipment prior to bidding the balance of the packages.
§ The MEP equipment has a lead time of approximately 50 weeks. Early procurement will reduce the overall duration of the project.
§ On February 1, 2021, the city issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); nine responses were received.
§ Messer Construction Co. is the best qualified firm to meet the City’s needs on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services in response to the RFQ requirements.
§ Council will be asked to consider an action at a future business meeting for a guaranteed maximum price contract for CMAR for the full construction of the FIS and D Concourse Renovations.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property.
