Item/Subject ORDER- Authorizing Contract Award to Edwards and Kelsey
for Airport Engineering Services
Responsible Department Purchasing - Airport
Commentary: The Airport utilizes the support of an"Airyorts ovented" engineering firm to help
implement the Airport Improvement Program (Mls) of the FAA. This program provides approximately 1.5
to 2.0 million dollars Per year for improvements and additions to the Alrporl infrastructure. This federal
program requires that the City receive proposals or statements of qualifcaUms from engineering firms on
a sdu Jule of approximately every five years. The purpose of this exercise is to review the qualifications
of various firms that currently provide such services and to select the most qualified firm for these
services. The Airport currently contracts with Edwards and Kelsey of Manchester NH who have provided
outstanding services over the previous seven years.
The City received statements of quallficaHons from three very qualified firms that all had e# nsive airport
experience. After interviews with the three firms A was determined that Edwards and Kelsey offered the
best combination of services and direct MA experience and that they should be recommended to continue
this service. The FAA will fund 90%, the Maine DOT 5% and the Airport 5% of the engineering fees
associated with the Alp projects. FAA regulations require that a separate contract be exerted with the
engineering firm for each Alp project.
The recommendation to award a five-year contract to Edwards and Kelsey was reviewed by the France
Committee on May 3, 2004 and referred to the Qty Council with a recommendation for approval.
