Background Information:
The attached change in service for $161,666 to Agreement 221-195 with Garver, LLC will provide engineering design, bid and construction phase services for the City of San Marcos related to the FM-110 Connection Drive Project.
The engineering design scope of work includes restoration of the historic Graham Air Traffic Control Tower which is proposed to be relocated to the roundabout intersection of Airport Drive and the proposed George Carruthers Way as presented to City Council at the December 16th work session.
The revised airport entrance was proposed in the 2020 Airport Master Plan and provides a direct connection to the newly constructed FM-110. During design, estimated construction costs revealed a potential underutilization of grant funds. City Staff are proposing to use the additional grant capacity to fund the relocation and restoration of the Graham Air Traffic Control Tower. The proposed tower relocation will enhance the roundabout and provide a focal point for the updated entrance to the San Marcos Regional Airport.
Construction costs are estimated at approximately $3.5 Million. Construction is expected to begin in Fall 2026 and will take approximately 1 year to complete.
