Mr. Piccolo advised staff received Request for Qualifications for a qualified firm capable of providing professional engineering and architectural design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services to construct a new General Aviation FIS. The project will relocate General Aviation clearance from existing FIS to the new facility and will increase gate capacity for commercial activity. Staff reviewed the submitted responses and selected three proposing firms to make presentations today at which time the Board will rank the firms.

Mr. Bailey explained the general protocol for presenters and the voting process that would take place following the presentations. Under CCNA, no clear law exists, therefore, competing firms have the right to remain in the room while competitors are presenting. He advised that the tradition at the airport is for the firms chosen to present, leave the room during the other presentations, but it is not required.

Each firm made presentations in alphabetical order: C&S Companies; Mead & Hunt; and SchenkelShultz Architecture. The Board selected the first, second, and third choice firm, with Mr. Bailey conducting the ballot voting process.

The ballot vote for first choice resulted in four votes for C&S Companies, two votes for SchenkelShultz, and no votes for Mead & Hunt. The ballot vote for second choice resulted in four votes for SchenkelShultz, and one vote for Mead & Hunt. The Board ranked the firms as follows:

Contract negotiations will begin with the first ranked firm of C&S Companies and a contract will be brought back to the Board if successful.

MOTION: Commissioner Spencer moved approval of the selected firms of C&S Companies as first ranked firm; SchenkelShultz as second ranked firm; and Mead & Hunt as third ranked firm; and for staff to negotiate scope and fees with the first ranked firm and if successful to present contract for approval at the next Board meeting and prepare all documents necessary to implement this action. Commissioner Beruff seconded. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY (6-0)
