RECOMMENDATION:
Enact an ordinance approving and authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Contract with Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) and appropriating $5,022,635.00 out of the HAS Consolidated ITRP AMT Construction Fund (8207) and $87,896.00 for Civic Art out of the HAS Airports Improvement Fund (8011) for the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) Renovation and Expansion Project at George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston (IAH). (Project No. 828)
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
On December 19, 2018, City Council approved Ordinance 2018-1040, approving and authorizing a Professional Services Contract with Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum, LP (now Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc.) for Architectural and Engineering (A/E) Design Services for the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) Renovation and Expansion Project, appropriating $33,188,883.00 out of the HAS Consolidated ITRP AMT Construction Fund (8207) and $541,710.00 for Civic Art out of the HAS Airports Improvement Fund (8011).
The scope of the Amendment No. 1 is to include the design of a regional detention pond or ponds and the design for two additional parking levels on Terminal C East Parking Garage with adjacent infrastructure at IAH. The City of Houston requires detention ponds for new projects and has recently modified the detention ratio requirements to project development areas. It was determined that the existing detention ponds at IAH do not meet the detention requirements for the new ITRP Projects. This project Amendment will address the required detention requirements.
The FIS Renovation and Expansion Project requires the demolition of the Terminal D/E parking garage. The demolition of the D/E garage will eliminate 1,995 parking spaces which will reduce revenue and customer services. The Terminal C Garage can absorb some, but not all, of the D/E garage parkers. Enplanement growth from ITRP and the planned expansion of Terminal A will add to parking demands. Additional public parking in the Central Terminal Area (CTA) will be made available by the construction of the two new parking decks on Terminal C Garage, which will add up to 1,200 parking spaces.
The Project will modernize and expand the existing FIS facility to allow for future international passenger growth. Total passengers for international markets have more than quadrupled since the FIS facility opened in 2005.
It is now requested City Council approve an ordinance to authorize Amendment No. 1 to the contract with Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc. for Project No. 828 at IAH.
