Delta County awards airport engineering services contract to Mead & Hunt
Summary
The Delta County Board of Commissioners approved an RFQ-based award to Mead & Hunt for professional engineering services at the county airport, following a unanimous recommendation from the Airport Board and noting the FAA-required use of an RFQ process.
The Delta County Board of Commissioners voted Oct. 7 to approve a request-for-qualifications (RFQ) Professional Engineering Services award for Mead & Hunt to provide engineering services at the county airport.
The board moved to accept the Airport Board's recommendation after staff said Mead & Hunt was the sole respondent to the RFQ and that the Airport Board had made a unanimous recommendation. County staff said the airport’s procurement language required an RFQ rather than a request for proposals because of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procurement guidance for certain professional services.
Commissioners discussed the procurement format during the meeting. County staff noted that Mead & Hunt commonly subcontracts portions of airport work to local engineering firms, a practice referenced by staff as part of the rationale for approving the contract award.
A motion to approve the RFQ award to Mead & Hunt was seconded and passed unanimously.
The board did not specify a contract number, scope limits, or dollar value for the award during the public meeting; those details were not provided in the record.
Provenance: The discussion and vote on the RFQ and Mead & Hunt occur in the meeting transcript beginning when the board took up the Airport RFQ Professional Engineering Service Award and conclude with the board approving the motion.
