Motion carries. Thank you. Item number 24 police. Report from Long Beach Airport and Financial Management Recommendation to award a contract to AT&T B Corp and Jacobs Engineering Group for as needed design, engineering, construction management and other related services at the Long Beach Airport in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5 million. District five. Thank you. Staff Report. Our interim airport director Juan Lopez is. There are some slights to it when you put some slides up. Item 24. We have a copy of the video. Okay. Here we go. But. Vice Mayor Richardson and members of the City Council. This item relates to the award of an of as needed airport design, engineering and construction management contracts with H and TB Corporation and with Jacobs Engineering Group for the Long Beach Airport. The projects identified for these contracts are funded under the FAA Airport Improvement Program and will focus on reconstruction of runways and taxiways to sustain a projected 20 year usable pavement life and updating runways and taxiways to the current FAA standards. This involves services of a civil geotechnical and electrical engineering nature. The initial projects for these contracts will be to design for the reconstruction and shortening of runway seven right to five left. The reconstruction of Taxiway F. And the conversion of former runway 16 left three for right into taxiway C. Other needs may include design support for repairs for existing facilities such as the concourse, or for repairs to runways and taxiways. The RFQ was advertised for bid in March 2016. 7165 potential bidders specializing in engineering services were notified of the RFQ opportunity. 161 of whom downloaded the bid. The RFQ announcement was also sent to 22 local minority and women owned business groups and was also released in Aviation Daily, a national publication as required by and in accordance with the Phase Consultant's selection requirements. The statement of qualifications were reviewed by a committee consisting of the airport's engineering officer, civil, senior civil engineer and civil engineering associate. The top four firms were placed on a shortlist for demonstrating exceptional. Exceptional competence and preferable experience performing comparable services. The top four firms were invited to present their qualifications and general project approach to the committee, which was expanded to also include the Public Works Construction Services Officer and a public works civil senior civil engineer. The top four firms were ranked according to various criteria, including technical expertize, key personnel qualifications and previous experience in communication and interpersonal skills. The selection committee determined that H. A.B. and Jacobs were the most qualified based upon the criteria specified in the RFQ. The FAA prioritizes AP discretionary funding for projects that are construction ready, which is a project that has been designed, advertise and for which bids have been opened. Project seeking priority for calendar year 2017 must be construction ready by May of 2017. Staff request council approval of the recommended action so as to meet the FAA priority date for 2017. AP Discretionary funding for the airport's upcoming runway projects. Physical construction for any of these projects will be subject to Future City Council approval. This concludes my oral report. I'm available for any additional questions. Thank you. Mr. Lopez Rios. Councilwoman. Mongo. I appreciate that you did extensive outreach. I think that the comments of this council have been heard in your outreach. And I think that. We appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Austin. Thank you very much. And thank you, Mr.. Mr. Lopez, for your staff report. I think he answered a few questions that I might have had, but I do want to have just just for the record, I want to know when. When was this capital improvement project? How long has this been in the works? So these projects, these are the first of the projects that were identified under Alternative three way of the geometry study the council adopted excuse me, the council approved forward to the FAA for approval in 2010. So they're part of that involved the safety of the runways. The overall projects for the geometry study will take between 15 to 20 years to actually implement. These are the first three initial projects that we anticipate to be completed in the next five years. Okay. And thank you for that clarification, I think. And why are we shortening runway seven or to five IL? We're shortening the runway because it was if you look on your on the map, currently, the runway extends all the way further to the east and crosses our main runway 1230. One of the recommendations of the geometry study was to eliminate what they call this hotspot. This is the the crossing of three different runways in one area. Are are alternative runway seven left to five right, which is located on the north part of the airfield, is our secondary runway. And so we we do have the capacity shortening this shortening this runway eliminates the hotspot, but also provides for what is typically the general aviation arrivals and departures. We can I know I've talked about two five right in the past. I would think that that runway should be utilized more. I think it would do a lot to, I guess, mitigate noise in certain neighborhoods and maybe be more equitable with with our noise dispersed. Dispersion throughout the city. I'm in. The question that I think many people want to ask is I want me to ask is what does this project have any sort of nexus to the FISA study whatsoever? These these contracts have no access to the FISA study. Any design, engineering or any additional further direction from the counsel relative to the FISA would be handled under its own separate procurement. All right. Thank you for the clarification. Thank you, Mr. Austin Councilmember Supernova. Thank you. I think Councilmember Austin asked all the questions I had. Just to put it in perspective in terms of the timing, though. The geometry study came about two airport directors prior to you. Is that correct? That is correct. All right. Thank you. And to that point about T5, right, being used, I think last week you had 30 closed at 10 p.m. and you had a flight come in at 2:30 a.m.. That use today, right, as I recall. That is correct. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Supernova Councilmember Pierce. Councilmember Austin answered my questions. I think it's great that we've finally taking a step forward to get this done. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes council comment. Any public comment saying none. Please cast your vote. Councilman Soprano. Councilman Sabrina.
