Council approves selection process to secure airport engineer for 2026 capital projects
Summary
Beaver City unanimously approved staff’s recommendation to accept the sole statement of qualifications for five‑year airport engineering services (Wolpert) so the city can proceed with planned 2026 airport capital improvements and use roughly $100,000 in additional funds.
Beaver City — The council voted Jan. 27 to accept a single statement of qualifications and proceed with selection of an airport engineering firm for a five‑year term that will support the 2026 capital improvement program.
Staff reported approximately $100,000 in additional funds had become available from prior projects that came in under budget and suggested issuing a five‑year services selection. Only one response to the city’s solicitation was received (Wolpert/Wilpert); staff recommended awarding the qualifications to that firm so work on airfield improvements can proceed. The mayor explained that use of FAA entitlement funds typically requires hiring a qualified engineering consultant so projects meet federal requirements.
Council member Hunter moved to accept the recommended statement of qualifications; Council member Holt seconded. The council voted 'Aye' with no opposition recorded.
What’s next: With a firm selected, staff will return with specific project scopes and budgets for the airport improvement work.
