In accor­dance with FDEP WRP Per­mit #03 – 0212186-004-DF, USACOE 404 Per­mit SAJ-2001- 5264-IP-GAH, and the Con­struc­tion and Post Devel­op­ment Water/​Sediment Qual­i­ty and Bio­log­i­cal Mon­i­tor­ing Plan, the air­port is required to con­duct water, sed­i­ment and bio­log­i­cal mon­i­tor­ing twice a year for a six year peri­od fol­low­ing con­struc­tion.

Approval of this task order ini­ti­ates the third year of mon­i­tor­ing and will allow the air­port to main­tain com­pli­ance with per­mit require­ments for Water Qual­i­ty Mon­i­tor­ing. The total cost of this task order is $55,000. Fund­ing for this task order is con­tained in the FY2015 Oper­at­ing Expense Budget. 

Fol­low­ing Board dis­cus­sion, Mr. Fore­hand made a motion to approve the task order with ZHA for Water Qual­i­ty Mon­i­tor­ing and autho­riza­tion for the Board Chair­man or his designee to exe­cute any nec­es­sary doc­u­ments pend­ing review by legal coun­sel.

1. (i) ZHA Task Order – Stormwa­ter Inves­tiga­tive Study Stage 1 (ii) ZHA Task Order – Stormwa­ter Inves­tiga­tive Study Stage 2

(iii) ZHA Task Order – Con­struc­tion Bid Doc­u­ment Devel­op­ment, Bid and Award

This item pro­vides for Board approval of task orders with ZHA to per­form inves­tiga­tive stud­ies of the dam­ages caused by the unnamed storm on April 29 and 30, 2014, as well as approval to pro­vide pro­fes­sion­al bid pack­ag­ing, bid­ding and award, FEMA admin­is­tra­tion and grant man­age­ment ser­vices for the repairs to the stormwa­ter man­age­ment sys­tem required as a result of the unnamed storm. 

As a result of the unnamed storm which occurred on April 29 and 30, 2014, Staff has met with gov­ern­ment offi­cials from the coun­ty, state and FEMA to assess the dam­ages. Col­lec­tive­ly, there are approx­i­mate­ly 24 areas that have been iden­ti­fied that need to be repaired to their orig­i­nal state to main­tain a viable stormwa­ter sys­tem. A num­ber of these areas are can­di­dates for addi­tion­al mit­i­ga­tion to ensure that the air­port is able to func­tion as a Crit­i­cal Facil­i­ty in the event future storms occur that qual­i­fy as 100 year or 500 year storm events. 

Two of the small­er projects have been sub­mit­ted to FEMA for review and fund­ing. An addi­tion­al 17 projects are to be sub­mit­ted to FEMA by the end of Octo­ber for review and fund­ing under their Alter­nate Pro­ce­dures Pro­gram. The remain­ing five areas to be addressed are areas that have been dam­aged by off-site water intru­sion from the east, north and west onto the air­port prop­er­ty. The source and vol­ume of this water is not ful­ly known; there­fore, it is rec­om­mend­ed that an inves­tiga­tive study be ini­ti­at­ed to deter­mine the source, vol­ume and poten­tial solu­tions for deal­ing with this water. 

ZHA and their sub-con­sul­tants pro­pose to ini­ti­ate a two-stage inves­tiga­tive study. Stage 1 would involve an ini­tial inves­ti­ga­tion to deter­mine if any of the areas have obvi­ous solu­tions for repair and mit­i­ga­tion and to deter­mine the com­pre­hen­sive inves­ti­ga­tion required on any remain­ing areas. Stage 2 would be a fol­low-up to Stage 1 to insure proac­tive, site spe­cif­ic solu­tions to reoc­cur­ring dam­ages. It is rec­om­mend­ed that both task orders be sub­mit­ted to FEMA for approval under their Alter­na­tive Pro­ce­dures Pro­gram along with the projects ref­er­enced above. 

In prepa­ra­tion of the sub­mit­tal, ZHA has devel­oped esti­mates for the repair and mit­i­ga­tion projects, iden­ti­fied the base doc­u­ments need­ed to cre­ate bid doc­u­ments and pre­pared scope nar­ra­tives required for the sub­mis­sion of the FEMA Project Work­sheets. ZHA would eval­u­ate and rec­om­mend award of the con­struc­tion con­tracts. Addi­tion­al­ly, ZHA will review FEMA guide­lines to insure all bid pro­ce­dures fol­low­ing guide­lines set out for prop­er pub­lic procurement. 

The total amount for the Stage 1 task order would not exceed $77,700. There are suf­fi­cient funds in the bud­get for this task order. In addi­tion, it is antic­i­pat­ed that FEMA and the State will reim­burse the Dis­trict for 87.5% of the cost, leav­ing the District’s por­tion at $9,712.50

The total amount for the Stage 2 task order would not exceed $248,500. Depend­ing on the results of the Stage 1 inves­tiga­tive study, the cost could poten­tial­ly be reduced or eliminated. 

The total amount for the bid doc­u­ment task order would not exceed $117,700. There are suf­fi­cient funds in the bud­get for this task order. In addi­tion, it is antic­i­pat­ed that FEMA and the State will reim­burse the Dis­trict for 87.5% of the cost, leav­ing the District’s por­tion at 

$14,712.50.

Fol­low­ing Board dis­cus­sion, Mr. Fore­hand made a motion to approve the Stage 1 inves­tiga­tive study task order in the amount of $77,700 with autho­riza­tion for the Exec­u­tive Direc­tor to exe­cute any nec­es­sary doc­u­ments, and autho­riza­tion to sub­mit the Stage 2 inves­tiga­tive study task order to FEMA for approval under the Alter­na­tive Pro­ce­dures Pro­gram, and to table award of the task order for bid doc­u­ment prepa­ra­tion until a lat­er date. Mr. Pilch­er sec­ond­ed the motion. The vote was tak­en and the motion passed unanimously.
