Professional Services-Airport Fire Station, Warm Storage,
and Maintenance Facilities
The City Selection Committee has completed the consultant selection procedure for the
reforenced project. The procedure follows requirements of an FAg. Advisory Circular
and is based on qualifications of consultants. Once the most qualified consultant is
identified, fees are then negotiated.
In our process, we first solicited statements of qualifications and experience. Seven
were received and evaluated by the committee, composed of one representative from
the Airport (Rebecca Cronkhite), one representative from the Fire Department (Jason
Elson), and one representative from Public Works (myself). We each assigned points to
eight specific criteria and .arrived at a total for each consultant. The three totals were
averaged, and the three firms with the highest average totals were invited to give a
presentation to the committee. The three firms selected were Cash Barner, Kluge and
Associates, and Kumin and Associates.
After checking references and evaluating presentations, the committee met to select
consultants. There was not a strong consensus on the top choice as all three firms
were considered by the committee to be quite capable of performing the work. The
committee gave two votes to Cash Barner, one vote to Kluge and Associates, and no
votes to Kumin and Associates. Since we did not have a unanimous decision to award
both projects to one firm, the decision was made to separate the projects. This isn't
always possible, but the Maintenance Shop project can easily stand alone, as it appears
it will not be located on the same site as the Fire Station/VVarm Storage project. At this
time we will only do design development for the Maintenance Shop using a non site-
specific concept and finalize the plans when we get funding. The Fire StationANarm
Storage facility will be fully designed anticipating FAA funding.

This decision also recognizes the prior experience, strengths, and workload of the firms
involved. Bill Nelson has performed prior work on the Maintenance Shop design
conceptual drawings and is part of the Kluge and Associates team. Wince-Corthell-
Bryson has extensive experience with FAA on the Kenai Airport and has recently
completed the ALP portion of the Airport Master Plan. Wince-CorthelI-Bryson is part of
the Cash Barner team and will do the civil, structural, surveying, and help coordinate the
project with FAA.
The recommendation is that we negotiate fees and award the Fire Station/VVa~
Storage complete design to Cash Bamer and the Maintenance Shop design
·
develol3~nent to Kluge and Associates.
