AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date: July 24, 2006

From:                          Mike Thornton, Purchasing Manager

Subject:                      Resolution Authorizing Execution of the Agreement with Compton-Peachee Construction, Inc. to design and build three corporate hangars for the Leesburg Airport pursuant to RFP-05-03

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution authorizing execution of the agreement with Compton-Peachee Construction, Inc. for $600,400 pursuant to RFP-06-03.

Analysis:

On March 2, 2005 the City Commission approved Resolution 7321 authorizing a Joint Participation Agreement with the State in the amount of $650,000.  This agreement provides funds for the construction of new hangars at the Leesburg Regional Airport.  The hangars will provide additional enclosed plane storage, further improving the services the airport is able to provide.  The leasing of these hangars will provide an ongoing source of revenue for the airport.

The Purchasing Division issued RFP-06-03 requesting proposals for the design and construction of the corporate hangars.  The Request for Proposal was advertised both in local newspapers and on Demandstar.com.  On June 22, 2006 Purchasing received 3 sealed proposals.  The proposals were evaluated by the evaluation team and the firm of Compton-Peachee Construction, Inc. of Lakeland, Florida was selected as the successful vendor.  Their proposal is complete and responsive and the proposed price is the lowest price submitted.

Options:

1. Approve the attached resolution authorizing the execution of the agreement with Compton-Peachee Construction, Inc. in the amount of $600,400.00, or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

This project is funded with both State grant and City funds.  The City will bear all expenses up front.  The State will reimburse up to 50% of the completed project costs up to a maximum of $325,000.  There is $590,000 budgeted for this project within the account.  Currently there is sufficient money in this account to cover the overage on this specific project.
