Authority approves Mead & Hunt general services contract; consultant to provide on‑call planning and grant support
Summary
The board approved a general services agreement with Mead & Hunt covering on‑call planning and engineering support, including a $10,000 consulting fee tied to the AFFF removal grant administration.
On April 20 the Manistee Blacker Airport Authority approved a general‑services agreement with Mead & Hunt for on‑call planning and engineering services through Dec. 31, 2027 and authorized the Airport Director to sign the contract.
Mead & Hunt’s proposal included tasks to prepare the RFP, coordinate contractor logistics, oversee post‑work sampling under the EGLE grant, and prepare quarterly and final reports. The reviewed proposal states Mead & Hunt will be paid a lump‑sum consulting fee of Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) for grant administration work under the AFFF removal project and estimated on‑call services not‑to‑exceed $40,000 for other efforts, per the proposal attachment. The board approved the contract on a motion by Preston Picardat, supported by Jeff Dontz, with a recorded unanimous vote.
The contract terms attached to the proposal define Mead & Hunt’s responsibilities and include a billing‑rate schedule and standard professional‑services terms. The board’s action links the consultant to the EGLE grant work and to general airport planning support such as runway work, terminal study and PFC-related tasks.
