Professional Services Agreement for Airport On -Call Engineer
Airport Operations Manager Marty Wray reviewed the Professional Services Agreement for
the Airport On -Call Engineer. Dowl Engineering has been the airport's on -call engineering
consultant for the last five years. They have helped the airport complete over $9.3 million
in projects that have been funded by the airport as well as by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Of the $6.7 million in AIP-
eligible projects, Dowl Engineering has helped the airport maximize their sponsor match by
efficiently engineering over $6.1 million in FAA funding, or 92% of total project costs. Since
2018, they have successfully completed many improvement projects at the airport
including Runway asphalt mill and overlay on both runways, lighting rehabilitation and
installation, crack seal and seal coat, and other pavement improvements.
