SUMMARY: Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code requires that the Council approve and adopt plans, specifications and working details, and authorize the bid request for all public projects in excess of$100,000. Approval of this project will allow staff to proceed with this public project, with an Architect's estimate of approximately $440,000. The construction cost will be recovered by the Airport via a pending lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA). BACKGROUND: In response to the events of September 11`h, the federal government created the Transportation Security Administration(TSA)to oversee security at the nation's airports. At Palm Springs, the TSA is performing passenger and baggage screening with approximately 160 employees. In order to meet the office,training and break area space requirements of the TSA, the City Council authorized a short term lease of two portable office trailers, which are currently being utilized by TSA. They are also utilizing some space in the baggage claim area of the terminal. It is the desire of the TSA and the Airport to create a permanent, long-term solution to their space requirements, which will not require the use of the portable office trailers. The apron level of the Sonny Bono concourse was designed with the intent of tenants being able to improve the space for use. This project will take the northern half of this area and make the necessary improvements for the TSA. The cost of this project will be funded by the Airport, with the costs being recaptured via a pending lease agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA). Section 7.03.040 of the newly enacted Procurement and Contracting Code requires that for public projects in excess of$100,000, the City Council approve and adopt the plans, specifications and working details, and authorize staff to advertise for construction bids. The architect's estimate for this project is $440,000. Staff is anticipating that the improved space will be available for occupancy by TSA no later than November 15, 2003.
