SUBJECT:
Acoustical Treatment Consultant for the Residential Acoustical Treatment Program
SUMMARY:
These Ordinances are related to the Residential Acoustical Treatment Program, which is 80% federally-funded, at the San Antonio International Airport. The City provides a 20% match.
Ordinance A authorizes a professional services agreement with THC, Inc (THC) for the management of the Residential Acoustical Treatment Program (RATP) in an amount not-to-exceed $4,178,094.00 commencing on April 19, 2015. The contract term is for three years with the option to renew for two additional one-year terms. The funding is from the grant awarded to the City in September 2014.
The RATP is an ongoing, multi-year program that provides acoustical treatment to reduce noise in qualifying homes and multi-family dwellings in aviation noise-impacted neighborhoods near the San Antonio International Airport. As the administrator of the program, THC will oversee the administration of the RATP including the community outreach, design, installation and project close-out. The agreement will fund the program.
Ordinance B authorizes the City Manager or her designee to execute an amendment to the professional services agreement with THC to increase the contract value up to $8,000,000.00 subject to receipt and execution of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant offer for the RATP. In December 2014, City Council authorized the submittal of the grant application and acceptance of the grant upon offer for up to $8,000,000.00 for the RATP. The FAA typically notifies the City of the new grant award in September. With approval from City Council, this action would authorize the City Manager or her designee to amend the agreement with THC in order to allow the smooth continuation of the program. The $8,000,000.00 will be from a new grant award in September 2015.
