Refurbishing of Airline and Car Rental Ticket Counters Ernst reported that the information was in his Manager's Report. Three bids were received and Se'Ana Cabinets bid of $17,700.00 was selected. c. Aviation Planning Services RFP Ernst reported that 6 RFPs were received by the City. A committee made up of Joel Kopp, Rachel Clark, Jack La Shot and Ernst will review the RFPs and choose a consultant for the project. 6. NEW BUSINESS Tom Thibodeau noted there were no items listed but he wished to bring up ideas on what the Commission should be doing. He felt the Commission should be making recommendations on how they would like to see the airport grow and develop. Thibodeau felt the airport should actively compete for freight traffic with Anchorage and Fairbanks. He felt Kenai's airport could facilitate cargo planes and would be conducive to this type of activity. Also a cargo facility would greatly benefit the community. Kenai has ready access to jet fuel, there are no mountains to impact approaches, and a radar facility is located in Kenai, so air traffic could be easily handled. Randy Ernst said this would be something that could be considered in the Airport Master Plan. The runway would need to be revamped and expanded. AIP funds would be hard to obtain but may be available if a company would make a commitment to such a project. Ernst said the airport had attempted to bring cargo into the area but than you need a custom agent, etc. Ray Measles noted there's a lot of behind the scenes support that international cargo companies need. Ernst said one of the approaches the City has considered is being a maintenance facility for the cargo companies. Thibodeau believed that Anchorage is nearing capacity, and the quality of life is not as good as the Peninsula. He felt that pilots and staff would enjoy a higher quality of life in Kenai, which is what employers are seeking for their employees. Ray Measles agreed the airport is one of Kenai's biggest assets. He recommended that the Economic Development District be contacted to discuss the possibility of seeking cargo facilities in Kenai. Kenai Airport Commission December 8, 1994 Page 2 Tom Thibodeau said he would contact the EDD to get ideas on how to pursue the possibility of cargo facilities at the airport. 7 · AIRPORT MANAGER' S REPORT Randy Ernst noted the Airport projects that are pending which are · Selection of Consultant for Master Plan and Master Plan (AIP), six bids have been received the selection process will begin as soon as possible.
