(MCS) in the “not-to-exceed” amount of $28,261.00 for engineering services. He stated that Addendum No. 4 is for the design, bidding, construction administration and closeout services for the FY26 – Torrington Airport Seal Coating and Pavement Marking project at the Torrington Municipal Airport. DPW Harkins indicated that the State has typically contracted this work in the past every 5 years, however, the State is changing this frequency to every 7 years after the completion of this project. DPW Harkins commented that by moving forward with this project there will be no future pavement needs at the airport for the next 7 years. The cost of the engineering for this project is 90% reimbursable from the State, with WYDOT’s portion being $25,434.90 (90%) and the City’s portion being $2,826.10 (10%). DPW Harkins proposes a budget adjustment be made to the FY26 budget in the amount of $13,536.00 to cover the design and bidding services, with the remainder of the engineering costs being requested in the FY27 budget. DPW Harkins stated that the construction cost of the project is estimated at $355,987.50 and is also 90% reimbursable by the State. WYDOT’s portion would be $320,388.75 (90%) and the City’s portion would be $35,598.75 (10%).
