RE APPROVAL: INCREASE CONTRACT SCOPE WITH MAGNUM BUILDERS OF SARASOTA FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION PROJECT FOR READY/RETURN LOT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff requests authorization from the Board to approve an increase in contract scope for the Parking Lot Expansion Phase 2 Project with Magnum Builders of Sarasota, Inc. The additional scope will expand the existing Ready/Return Lot and will provide a covered shade walkway to the terminal. This expanded lot is needed to meet the rental car demand that has occurred due to the increases in airline traffic.
NARRATIVE: At the January 2021 Board meeting, the Authority awarded the low responsive bidder, Magnum Builders of Sarasota, Inc. (Magnum) a contract to expand the Long Term Parking Lot and pave the overflow parking area. The project also includes replacement of the shuttle kiosks, adds additional lighting, extends fiber optic conduit and cable to new security camera locations, removes the return loop road, and provides security fencing with landscaping to the southern boundary of the Long Term Parking Lot.
In this change order request, staff is requesting an increase in scope to Magnum's contract to allow for expansion of the Ready/Return Lot. The Ready/Return Lot will expand by approximately 105 parking stalls. The project will reconfigure the curbs and sidewalks to accommodate this expansion, and will install a covered walkway to allow pedestrian access to the terminal. AID Engineers have evaluated this change order and found it to be in conformance with current construction costs.
Staff is requesting an increase of $1,101,171.75 to Magnum's contract and an additional 210-calendar days to complete these renovations. There is currently a long lead time for the canopy steel, however, all curbing and sidewalk work will be completed within 90-calendar days.
This change order for the Ready/Return Lot has been agreed upon by the Rental Car Companies and will be funded by Customer Facility Charges (CFCs).
RECOMMENDATION: It is hereby recommended that the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority approve the increase in contract scope and fee of $1,101,171.75 with Magnum to expand the Ready/Return Lot. Staff also requests authorization to prepare all documents necessary to implement this action.
