Beaver City — The council voted Jan. 27 to accept a single statement of qualifications and proceed with selection of an airport engineering firm for a five‑year term that will support the 2026 capital improvement program.
Staff reported approximately $100,000 in additional funds had become available from prior projects that came in under budget and suggested issuing a five‑year services selection. Only one response to the city’s solicitation was received (Wolpert/Wilpert); staff recommended awarding the qualifications to that firm so work on airfield improvements can proceed. The mayor explained that use of FAA entitlement funds typically requires hiring a qualified engineering consultant so projects meet federal requirements.
Council member Hunter moved to accept the recommended statement of qualifications; Council member Holt seconded. The council voted 'Aye' with no opposition recorded.
What’s next: With a firm selected, staff will return with specific project scopes and budgets for the airport improvement work.
