Dear Mr. Workman, 
 
Bids were received for the above noted project on May 8, 2025. Four (4) bids were received and are 
shown in the attached bid tabulation. 
 
The bids were reviewed for math errors, bid bonds, addenda acknowledgement and verification of 
federal disbarment.  All four (4) bids appear to be responsive. A general review of each bid is 
summarized below:

A great deal of effort was put forth to attract bidders to this project. A total of 32 potential bidders 
were sent the Invitation for Bids. A total of eight (8) sets of plans and specifications were purchased by 
potential bidders, plan rooms, and suppliers. A 30-day bid period was established for this project. The 
advertisement for bids for the project was published for two (2) consecutive weeks as part of the bid 
period. A pre-bid conference was held onsite to answer questions and show the project to potential 
bidders. 
 
Based on conversations with FAA ADO staff, it is believed that sufficient funds are available for the 
budget listed below via an IIJA-AIG and a companion AIP grant. The grant applications are enclosed 
with this letter that incorporates the recommended bidders proposed cost at a 95% FAA share.  The 
grant applications should be signed and forwarded to the FAA as soon as possible. 
 
Our recommendation is to award Schedule I and Bid Additive 1 to Desert Services International, Inc. for 
a total contract amount of $883,090.00 upon receiving concurrence from the FAA Program Manager 
and receipt of the FAA Grant Agreements.

The following budget needs to be developed for grant No. 3-04-0048-030-2025 & 031-2025. The 
Engineering Services and Construction Services items are per our executed scope of work.  The Sponsor 
Administration item covers the cost for advertising the project to get bid proposals from the contractors 
and for the independent fee review of our fee.
