Body
BACKGROUND
Ricondo & Associates, Inc. is the principal external source of airport planning expertise for the City of Dallas and provides analytical assistance to DAS leadership. Services covered include various airport-related planning tasks and technical analyses using a task order format. Tasks are oriented towards the phasing and implementation of projects in the Capital Improvement Program. The on-call consultant team is also tasked with analyzing, assessing, and advising the DAS on development initiatives from Master Plan and airport business perspectives.
Given the dynamic nature of on-call advisory services and due to the increase in passengers at Dallas Love Field (DAL) during the industries and DAL’s COVID-19 recovery, the substantive increase to this contract will support the ongoing work efforts for a comprehensive Terminal Area Master Plan and reflects the Department of Aviation’s priority of identifying near and long-term solutions for passenger growth at DAL.
This action will authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to the consultant services contract with Ricondo & Associates, Inc. to continue providing on-call airport planning and advisory services, develop scopes and budgets for tasks targeted at the Dallas Airport System (Dallas Executive Airport, Dallas Love Field, and Dallas Vertiport).
