a. AIP Grant 3-19-0047-02 - Blum indicated that the agenda was limited to the subject of choosing an
engineering firm to assist with the implementation of the pending AIP grant. Blum participated in
interviewing two of the three firms selected for interviews. He commented that the credentials presented
by all of the firms would indicate that all are capable of assisting in the project. He suggested that the
Airport Manager present a recommendation on one of the firms.
O'Neil reviewed each of the firms with the Commission, indicating strong points presented by each firm.
He stated that although the firms were close in ability, he would recommend initiating negotiations for a
contract with Howard R. Green Company, based partially on their recent experience with an identical
project at the Iowa City Municipal Airport in 1989.
