Body
WHEREAS, the FAA was commissioned to perform a flight check of the new Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs) that were installed at the Foley Municipal Airport as part of the Runway 36 threshold displacement project, and,
WHEREAS, on January 29, 2015 the FAA performed the flight check and the PAPI on Runway 18 was successful but the PAPI on Runway 36 was unsuccessful which requires a future flight check of this PAPI in order to complete the project, and,
WHEREAS, the original agreement with the FAA established 3.5 hours ($7,115.78) and 2.6 hours ($5,286.00) was used, resulting in .9 hours ($1,829.77) remaining. The FAA has estimated that it will need 2.5 hours to commission the PAPI which will result in an additional 1.6 hours ($3,252.93). Due to the Contractor's inability to make the adjustments to the unit during the original flight check as requested by the FAA, the contractor will reimburse the City of Foley for the additional funds requested.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
SECTION 1: Appropriates additional funds in the amount of $3,252.93 to account 12-665-7324 R03 VLKSA9 which will be reimbursed to the City by the contractor. The exact cost will not be known until after the flight check has been performed.
SECTION 2: Authorizes the Mayor to sign an amendment to the original agreement with the FAA in order to complete this project.
SECTION 3: This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption as required by law.
