ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
Aviation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On June 23, 2015, following competitive RFQ process, the City Council approved the selection of Garver, LLC to perform architectural, planning, and engineering services for a period of up to five years for the Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport (KFHRA). On September 22, 2015, the City Council approved acceptance of an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $900,000.00 for the development of an airport master plan for KFHRA.

To that end, staff has negotiated a professional services contract with Garver, LLC, in the amount of $993,540.00 to perform the professional services associated with the development of an AMP for the KFHRA.
