MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Eland Conway II, Airport Manager
DATE: November 8, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2022-77 — ENA sole source procurement Team Eagle
Edge-Lite
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to issue a Purchase Order for the
noncompetitive/sole source procurement of the Team Eagle Edge-Lite Cleaner Attachment. The
FAA awarded ENA AIP Grant No. 3-02-0142-072-2022 on September 22, 2022 in the amount of
$140,625 for the procurement of a sliding cantilever gate, and a runway edge light cleaning
attachment.
The edge light cleaning attachment is only available from one manufacturer. To verify there are
no other manufacturers of this equipment or similar equipment, the airport has contacted all major
manufacturers of airport snow removal equipment and conducted a thorough internet search. One
snow removal manufacturer pointed the airport back to Team Eagle.
This attachment technology is newer, manufactured in Anchorage, Alaska, and has gone through
at least three iterations. Legacy edge light specific clearing equipment is no longer manufactured,
it required the purchase of an entire piece of equipment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars
and still required additional equipment and operators to remove the windrows that it created.
Current ENA edge light clearing requires the use of two pieces of equipment (road grader and
snow blower), two operators, and 3-4 passes to completely clear around the edge lights. To
complete this process well requires a meticulous and experienced grader operator, or a very
cautious and unhurried novice grader operator, and not infrequently results in some damage to
edge lights.
The Eagle Edge-Lite Cleaning Attachment removes the need for an additional piece of equipment
and operator. Reduces the amount of fuel and time required to clear snow from the edge lights.
The attachment is quickly coupled to existing ENA equipment from the cab, requiring only the
operator. Because the attachment is coupled to existing equipment minimal training and
experience are required to conduct edge light clearing operations and precision is much less of a
concern.
Kenai Municipal Code 7.15.070(b)(1) allows for the sole source procurement of equipment which
can be furnished only by a single dealer.
Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations part 200 also allows for procurement by noncompetitive
proposals from a sole source when the item is available only from a single source. FAA
concurrence for the sole source procurement of the Eagle Edge-Lite Cleaning Attachment was
received November 10, 2022.
FAA Share - 93.75%
ENA Share - 6.75%

This request is being provided in the best interest of ENA and the City. Council's approval and
support is respectfully requested.
