This program provides approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million per year for improvements and additions to the Airport's infrastructure. This Federal program requires that the City receive proposals or statements of qualifications from engineering firms on a schedule of approximately every five years. This allows for review of the qualifications of various firms that currently provide such services and to select the most qualified firm. The Airport currently contracts with Jacobs (formerly Edwards and Kelcey) of Manchester, New Hampshire, which has provided outstanding service over the previous twelve years. On April 1, 2009, the City received statements of qualifications from three firms. After review, it was determined that Jacobs offered the best combination of services and direct experience with BIA, and staff recommends they be awarded the contract. On July 20, 2009 the Finance Committee reviewed and approved staff recommendation to award the contract to Jacobs. The contract award recommendation must be reviewed and approved by the City Council as it is over three years. Department Head Manager's Comments: The architectural/engineering costs for any particular project proposed by our selected firm and then reviewed by a independent third party to ensure that they are reasonable and appropriate. This approach to project pricing is required by the FAA.
