MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Knackstedt and Members of Council
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
Julie Semmens, Administrative Assistant II
DATE:
June 9, 2026
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. 2026-50 - Authorizing a Contract Award and Corresponding
Purchase Order to Vector Airports Systems for Aircraft Operating Fee Billing
and Collection Services.
It recently came to Airport administration's attention that a significant percentage of billable
landing fees was being missed due to the self -reporting system that is currently utilized at Kenai
Municipal Airport. After careful review and research, it appears the Planepass product offered by
Vector Airport Systems is a good and reasonable solution to capturing the majority of landing fees
owed.
Vector Airport Systems is the only known source capable of providing the required services.
Vector Systems possesses unique qualifications, experience, and capabilities necessary to
perform the work and pursuant to KMC 7.15.070 (b) (1) a sole source purchase may be authorized
when the "Supplies, materials, equipment, or contractual services which can be furnished only by
a single dealer or which has a uniform price wherever bought."
Airport Administration is recommending a contract award to Vector Airport Systems for aircraft
operating fee billing and collection services. The all -in -one automated billing and collection service
Vector Airport Systems offers does not currently have competition.
Award of this agreement is in the best interest of the City.
Councils approval is respectfully requested.
