The City issued SOQ #20-33 in October 2020 and C&S was selected as the airport consultant in December 2020. In addition to the traditional engineering services, C&S will also address the significant agency coordination requirements of construction at the airport between the Federal Aviation Administration, Michigan Office of Aeronautics, Washtenaw County, Pittsfield Charter Township and the City of Ann Arbor.

Funding for the airport’s share of this grant is included in the approved FY25 Airport Fund Operations and Maintenance budget. All funding (local, state and federal) for this project will come from fees paid by users of aviation industry services. The grant is administered by MDOT-Aero.
