Airport Basin OK'd for lift off

An amendment to Los Alamos County’s Airport Basin services agreement with Hensel Phelps Construction New Mexico, LLC was approved unanimously by County Council Tuesday evening. The amendment authorizes Hensel Phelps to move forward with the site work associated with the project.

Prior to the vote, Public Works Director Kyle Zimmerman presented council with an executive summary, comparison spreadsheet, budget and cost comparisons for the $14 million Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).

“One of the ways we can keep the process going is to start the site work,” Zimmerman said, adding that projects of this magnitude are impacted by commodity fluctuations and other external factors.

Councilor Jim West thanked Zimmerman and Project Manager David Apple for keeping council in the loop.

“You’ve done a good job of keeping us informed,” West said. “No one likes surprises and we don’t like surprises. We appreciate being informed when things change and the reasons why they need to change.”
