The Airports Division manages the two County airports; Buchanan Field and Byron. As part of this responsibility, contract services are required to augment staff and provide special technical assistance on an on-call basis. After a solicitation process, five consulting firms (Mead & Hunt, Inc., The KPA Group, C & S Engineers, Inc., Stevens + Associates, and Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc.) were selected to provide the design, engineering and planning services.
A Board Order for consideration of the contracts for C & S Engineers, Inc., The KPA Group, Stevens + Associates, and Mead & Hunt, Inc. have been submitted separately.
The proposed list of projects and services include but are not limited to: preparation of Federal Aviation Administration and Caltrans grant funding documents/elements, geotechnical studies, pavement evaluation studies, drainage studies, value engineering, cost estimating, review of airport development proposals, airport master planning, airport layout plan development and changes, terminal area planning, facilities construction, land acquisition, land use planning, environmental planning, updates to airport plans and manuals, lighting analysis and plans, security upgrades, airfield markings and many other professional service needs.
Delay in project approval will result in a delay of completing a multitude of airport related projects and may cause inconsistency with current Federal, State and County requirements, policies and standards.
