DISCUSSION: In November 2009, Jacobs Consultancy completed an assessment of the management and operations of the Aviation Department. One of the results of this assessment identified the need for the establishment of a consistent policy in how the airport properties should be leased. Additionally, it was recommended that the airport's minimum standards be updated. The airport's minimum standards have not been amended since 1992, the year they were adopted. A Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFQ)was issued in May 2010. Five consulting firms provided submittals for development of a leasing policy and updating the minimum standards. These firms were Airport Corporation of America, AMCG, Jacobs Consultancy, R.A. Weidemann/CHA, and Wilbur Smith Associates. The City staff ranked the submittals, interviewed the top two firms, Aviation Management Consulting Group and R.A. Weidemann/CHA and selected AMCG as the best qualified firm. In July 2010, the Aviation Advisory Board approved the selection of AMCG for this work. The property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 8.
