Jasper County Airport Authority
Request for Qualifications-
Professional Engineering and Consulting Services

 

The Jasper County Airport Authority (JCAA), operator of the Jasper County Airport (KRZL), in the City of Rensselaer, Indiana is soliciting statements of qualifications from interested firms to provide professional engineering and consulting services for airfield development projects that are anticipated to occur within the next five (5) years. Subject to local funds availability, receipt of Federal funding and/or State funding, these projects may include the following:

 

  1. FY2020 – Obstruction Removal (Old Hangar). Estimated Construction Cost $133,000. Project likely to continue into FY2021.
  2. FY2021 – Airport Layout Plan. Estimated Cost $166,667
  3. FY2023 – Acquire Land. Estimated Cost $303,000. Land may be swapped with other airport land.
  4. FY2024 – Runway 09/27 Environmental Assessment. Estimated Cost $100,000
  5. FY2025 – Runway 09/27 Grading and Drainage. Estimated Costs $4,482,060.
  6. Add other projects as needed…

These projects have been developed from the JCAA’s Airport Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which was prepared with assistance from NGC, Corp.  A copy of each project CIP Data Sheet will be made available upon request. These projects show a slight modification to the current CIP due to the JCAA’s recent commitment to acquiring land needed for future development, likely leading to the JCAA’s application for multi-year federal/state funding culminating FY2024. JCAA has the financial ability to pursue some projects using local funds exclusively.

 

Update May 8, 2020: Most recent CIP datasheets may be downloaded here. 

 

The services to be provided may include, but are not limited to preliminary design, final design, bidding, construction observation, and incidental special services such as geotechnical/subsurface investigations and topographic surveying.

 

A qualification based selection process conforming to FAA Advisory Circular 150/5100-14E Architectural, Engineering, and Planning Consultant Services for Airport Grant Projects will be utilized to select a consultant.  Fee information will not be considered in the selection process and shall not be submitted with the Statement.  Fees will be negotiated for projects as federal funds become available. The agreement(s) between the JCAA and the selected consultant will be subject to all applicable Federal Rules and Regulations as identified in AC 150/5100-14E.

 

Consultants will be rated by a selection committee according to the following selection criteria and the weight given to each:

 

  1. Capability to perform all aspects of the projects (20%) – qualifications of prime firm (and sub consultants, if any);
  2. Relevant experience of key personnel (20%) – qualifications of prime firm (and sub consultants, if any);

  4. Recent experience with comparable projects at similarly-sized airports (20%);
