The Montgomery Airport Authority (“MAA” or the “Authority”) through this Request for Information (“RFI”) seeks to gather information from qualified firms (“Respondents”) with an interest in providing Fixed Based Operator (“FBO”) services at Montgomery Regional Airport (“MGM” or the “Airport”) effective January 1, 2025.
As set forth in more detail in this RFI, the existing FBO’s lease at the Airport is expiring, and the Authority intends to take possession of certain FBO assets and facilities. The Authority seeks information regarding transition of operations from the existing FBO to ensure continuity of services, and potential structures for operation of the FBO following expiration of the existing lease. Respondents are encouraged to provide feedback with respect to:
• FBO services under a management contract, facilities lease agreement, and/or other alternatives to a ground lease;
• Services related to the transition of operations from the existing FBO to the Authority;
• Potential construction of a new fuel facility, including possible locations;
• Revenue sharing options;
• Joint development opportunities, including capital improvements;
• Terms and conditions under any potential management agreement or lease agreement;
• Scope of services for the FBO with reference to the current Minimum Standards (the “MGM Minimum Standards” appended hereto as Attachment 3); and
• Any innovative and/or alternative solutions, programs, plans, and offerings at the Airport that the Authority should consider.
The information gathered through this RFI will inform the development of a potential RFP to be released in or around spring of 2024. Interested, qualified firms should provide written notice of their interest in providing FBO services at the Airport (the “Letter of Interest” or “LOI”) in response to this RFI.
Respondents should note that this RFI does not commit or bind the Authority to enter into any contract or to proceed with the procurement contemplated in this RFI, or to any other definite course of action. MAA does not assume any obligations, responsibilities, and liabilities, fiscal or otherwise, to reimburse all or part of the costs incurred or alleged to have been incurred by parties considering a response to and/or responding to this RFI or any subsequent Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and all such costs will be borne solely by each such party.
