Pelican Rapids approves consultant agreement to administer airport grants; city share minimal
Summary
Council approved a $6,500 consultant agreement with SE to administer two airport projects covered primarily by an Aeronautics grant; 95% of SE’s fee is grant-funded and the city’s share of the consultant fee is $325, with the total city project share about $4,000 of an $80,000 grant-funded project.
Staff asked the council to approve an agreement with SE to administer two airport projects (remodel of the A/ND building and a fuel-system upgrade) tied to a Minnesota Aeronautics grant. Lance told the council SE’s professional fee is $6,500; Aeronautics would cover 95% of that fee and the city’s share of the consultant fee would be $325. The total grant amount for the two projects is $80,000 and the city’s total share of the project costs was reported as roughly $4,000.
Council approved the agreement and staff indicated the $325 consultant share and the city’s portion of project costs would be paid from the airport fund; no additional appropriations were required at the time of approval.
Staff said airport users are current on payments and that the airport fund can absorb the small local share of costs; SE will proceed to administer grant-related tasks if the contract is executed.
