Title
Resolution to Approve a Professional Services Agreement between the City and C&S Engineers Inc. for Work Related to the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport Hangar Project ($62,197.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve a Professional Services Agreement between the City and C&S Engineers Inc. (C&S), Livonia, Michigan, in the amount of $62,197.00, for engineering services related to the construction of F row hangars at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport.
This overall project consists of the construction of a four-unit hangar building (F row) in the NE t-hangar area of the airport. The individual units would be approximately 45' wide by 45' deep (depending on the manufacturer), weather tight and heated. The utilities in the units will be individually metered, paid by the tenant, but will not include water or sewer.
The proposed hangar door size, which dictates the size of the aircraft that can be housed there, is nearly identical to the E row hangar immediately to the west. F row will house the same size single or small twin-engine aircraft that can currently occupy E row hangars. Hangar door sizes also dictate the required minimum width of the taxilane that serves the hangar. By keeping the door sizes similar, it allows us to use the existing E row taxilane without significant modifications.
All 156 hangars owned by the airport are occupied and we have been operating from a hangar waiting list for about five years. There are currently over 30 prospective tenants, who pay a deposit to get on the list, that would like to base their aircraft at Ann Arbor. A four-unit hangar row won't make a significant dent in the waiting list, but it should ensure that the new hangars will be occupied.
The City issued SOQ #20-33 in October 2020 and C&S was selected as the airport consultant in December 2020. Conceptual and preliminary design work on the hangars was recently completed under a separate contract to determine feasibility and estimat...
