REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
Additional funding is required to increase the contract contingency amount to pay for contractor extra work items,
the extra work items were the result of unforeseen site conditions in the control tower electrical and plumbing
systems, replacement of existing taxiway lighting wire due to deterioration, changes to the location of existing
signage as required by the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)and potential fixture relocation ofsignage by the
FAA after their final inspection to be performed at a later date. Approval of the contingency fund increase is
required to compensate the contractor for the additional work.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and preclude payment to the contractor
for required work.
