Board tables FBO request-for-proposals so members can review draft
Summary
Airport staff introduced a draft RFP to solicit a fixed-base operator; after discussion about proposed flowage fees and lease terms, the board agreed to table the RFP for 30 days so members can review the document before a vote.
The airport manager explained that three organizations had expressed interest in providing fixed-base operator (FBO) services and that he had drafted an RFP to solicit competitive proposals. He said the goal is to have an operator in place by Sept. 1 and proposed flowage terms (10¢ per gallon on 100 low-lead fuel and a 15% flowage fee on jet fuel).
Board members asked to review the draft before voting. One member said they preferred to read the RFP before making a motion; the airport manager agreed to deliver the document ahead of the next meeting. The board agreed to table the matter for 30 days to allow review and discussion.
The manager noted the RFP would outline space rental (front counter/office, potentially Rose’s office), fuel-flow arrangements and responsibilities for fueling equipment and services. The board did not take a final vote on issuing the RFP at this meeting and asked staff to circulate the document to members for review.
