The airfield lighting system is over 30 years old and in need of replacement. This project will enhance safety at Falcon Field Airport by replacing aging equipment and cabling that is at the end of its useful life.  Improvements will also include upgrading from the existing incandescent lighting equipment to light emitting diode (LED) technology that will improve reliability and efficiency while also reducing utility costs.

 

Staff recommends awarding the contract for this project to the lowest, responsible bidder, Rural Electric, Inc., in the amount of $1,331,146 and authorize a change order allowance in the amount of $133,114.60 (10%).  The approved FAA grant will fund 91.06% of the total estimated cost with local matching funds required for the remaining 8.94%. Falcon Field has applied to the Arizona Department of Transportation, Aeronautics Group (ADOT) for a matching grant to fund 4.47% and the Airport Enterprise Fund will fund the remaining 4.47%. If an ADOT grant is not received, Falcon Field will fund the entire local match of 8.94%, with funding available from the adopted FY2017-18 Falcon Field Capital Program.
