On-Call Planning Consulting Services for Airport Development

The City of Lawrence is issuing an IDIQ “on‑call” contract to provide comprehensive planning and consulting services for the Lawrence Regional Airport. The contract will be awarded on a qualifications‑based selection; individual task orders will be issued as projects arise and funding becomes available. Services include environmental assessments (CATEX, USACE), DBE/ACDBE and Title VI plan development, airport economic impact studies, revisions to governing documents, ground‑development policy updates, business‑plan creation, land‑acquisition strategy, grant administration, and public outreach. The agreement runs for three years with two optional one‑year renewals, and the City anticipates roughly $1.5 million in work over a five‑year horizon. • On‑call IDIQ for airport planning, engineering and consulting services • Scope covers environmental, regulatory, economic, policy, grant‑admin, and outreach tasks • Funding sources: FAA entitlement ($150 k/yr), KDOT KAIP grants, other state/federal earmarks • Estimated total spend over 5 years ≈ $1.5 M; annual spend ≈ $300 k • Contract term: 3 years (plus two 1‑year renewal options) • Task orders issued when projects are funded; each task order defines scope, schedule, and budget • Pre‑bid virtual meeting 11 Nov 2026 (non‑mandatory); questions due 17 Nov 2026; proposal deadline 24 Nov 2026 • Evaluation based on execution methodology, risk assessments, value assessment, and team qualifications
