  1. APPROVE ARCHITECT – ENGINEER AGREEMENT – TERMINAL C DESIGN, TERMINAL A AND B RENOVATIONS (ASR 07-000429). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to approve Architect-Engineer Agreement with Gensler, in the not to exceed amount of $26,395,503, for the design and construction administration services for the new Terminal C and renovation of Terminals A and B. Responding to Vice Chair Junor, Airport Director Alan Murphy confirmed that 6.4 million is for Construction support services. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Director Murphy responded the benefits of BIM are that it allows JWA to review as-builts of Terminal A & B as well as integrating Terminal C. It will also identify any conflicts so the design can be corrected right away. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy explained that an independent cost estimator will be monitoring project costs. Directory Murphy further explained that Staff is currently reviewing plans on a weekly basis with both the design team and the County Planning Department. Director Murphy explained JWA is looking at renovations regarding current trends. Staff has done analysis on the current Terminals and it is in good safe condition. Deputy Airport Director Larry Serafini added that JWA goes above and beyond what is required for building safety.

    Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy explained the independent cost estimating firms as well as Parsons are familiar with the going rate for this type of work. Director Murphy continued; the firms are chosen on the basis of qualifications for this type of work and afterwards we attempt to negotiate a contract. The initial estimate is based on initial scope we are required to have a record of the whole negotiation process. Responding to Chair Markley, Director Murphy explained the 6% - 8% is based on similar projects. Responding to Vice Chair Junor, Director Murphy explained with each milestone the project will be re-estimated for both price and schedule. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy explained that the baggage screening will continue to operate as construction progresses. It is more cost effective to continue screening operations than to try to screen all baggage through the north baggage screening.

    Responding to Commissioner Junor, Director Murphy explained that background checks will be done on personnel that will be working on the project. Deputy County Counsel Richard Oviedo added that the contract authorizes JWA to receive a roster of all employees to be working on the project to include employees that will not be located at JWA. All employees to be on the premises will be badged and given a background check. Director Murphy added that the perimeter fence will be moved so that the construction will be done on the non-secure side of the airport.

    On the motion and second Vice Chair Junor and Commissioner Bristol, item 1 was passed unanimously.

  2. APPROVE ARCHITECT – ENGINEER AGREEMENT – SURFACE PARKING STRUCTURE FOR SOUTH RON PROJECT (ASR 07-001391).

Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Deputy Director Serafini explained TRC is a sub-consultant for this project.
