  2. APPROVAL A-E AGREEMENT FOR B1 PARKING STRUCTURE (ASR 07-002200). Airport Director requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to approve the A-E Agreement for the design of the B1 Parking Structure. Director Murphy stated that the replacement structure is planned to add two (2) levels providing approximately one thousand (1,000) additional spaces. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy explained that the design firm will ensure that the construction manager adheres to plans and specifications. Director Murphy acknowledged that the design cost is significant but explained that it was an investment in a highly complex project with problem potential, and indicated that design and material construction costs are monitored separately. Further responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy confirmed that including the power and cargo areas in the design have contributed to design complexity and cost, but space issues and the cost of a separate facility make this a cost-effective option. Responding to Vice Chair Bristol, Director Murphy stated that design provisions will be made for features that may not be immediately included within budget. In response to Vice Chair Bristol, Director Murphy stated construction costs are based on an 8% yearly escalation schedule.

    On the motion and second of Commissioner Welsh and Blythe, Item 2 was passed unanimously.
