  1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Welsh, the minutes of the Regular Meeting and Special Meeting held on September 19, 2007 were unanimously approved as written.

  2. SELECT ARCHITECT-ENGINEER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES (ASR 07-001887)
    Airport Director Murphy requested Airport Commission concurrence with the recommended Board action to select CH2M Hill as the primary Architect-Engineer firm and Shaw Group as the alternate for providing comprehensive environmental services. This selection will consolidate multiple contracts used previously and encompass all environmental aspects related to the Airport and its tenants. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Director Murphy stated that even though GeoMatrix has performed well, CH2M Hill presented a superior proposal and team. In response to Chair Junor, Director Murphy explained that environmental services are necessary for reports, permits, and monitoring. Responding to Commissioner Welsh, Director Murphy confirmed that in compliance with state and federal law, pricing could not be a factor in the qualification process, but indicated that this is addressed after selection; in the event that an agreement cannot be reached with the primary firm, negotiations commence with the alternate. On the motion and second of Commissioner Welsh and Vice Chair Bristol, Item 2 was passed unanimously.
