Resolution to Approve the First Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement between the City and Mead & Hunt Inc. for Work Related to the Environmental Assessment Study for the Safety Extension of Runway 6/24 at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport ($109,516.88)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, dated December 3, 2018, between the City and Mead & Hunt Inc., Lansing, Michigan.

It is important to complete the EA so the City and surrounding communities can have a documented assessment of the potential impacts of any runway changes which then allows for an informed decision on whether to consider the project or not. The FAA, MDOT-Aero and the City have invested considerable resources into the EA to make sure the final product is an accurate and complete assessment. The requested action in no way approves any construction or bidding to make any changes to the runway.
