AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 3, 2023 CONSENT AGENDA
ACTION REQUESTED: REQUEST APPROVAL OF NEW CONSULTANT FOR
BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT
BACKGROUND: We have a recommendation for a new consultant. In
October we created a committee to go through the bidding
consultants’ proposals and rank them. After the scoresheets
were submitted, it was a close call between all three
potential consultants. The next step was to conduct
interviews with all three of the consultants to see if any of
our answers changed. As of now, we have a consultant that
we are recommending to the board.
DISCUSSION: JUB has been selected by the airport to be the new
consultant for Bowers Field. This consulting firm has had
several successes in the Airport industry including
developing Deer Park Airport in Spokane. As the airport is
moving towards the development of both the airfield and
the business park, we need a consultant with experience,
that is why we have selected JUB.
INTERACTION: BoCC, JUB, Airport Staff
RECOMMENDATION: To approve JUB as the new consultant for the Airport
HANDLING: Return one original to the Airport.
