RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council adopts the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.

SUMMARY
The FAA determined that a portion of Sulphur Creek traversing through Hayward Executive Airport poses a potential safety hazard to aircraft that may veer off taxiways or runways in an emergency or for other reasons. The solution is to enclose the open channels of the creek as well as grade the immediate areas surrounding the channels.
The three-phased project is entering the second phase. Following the FAA’s consultant selection criteria, staff recommends that Council approves the negotiation and execution of a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn for the Sulphur Creek Mitigation design project in the amount of $444,000. Staff further recommends that the City Manager be authorized to accept a grant from the FAA, which will reimburse the City for 90% of the total cost for this project.
