BACKGROUND:
On June 4, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among Clark County, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The MOU set forth each agency's roles and responsibilities in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed SNSA. One of the County's roles is to engage and retain a contractor to prepare the EIS. The contractor works at the direction of the FAA and BLM, as the Joint Lead Agencies. However, the Department of Aviation issues the contract for the work.
On June 18, 2024, the Board authorized the Director of Aviation to sign the Professional Services Contract (Contract) with Landrum & Brown, Inc. (Company) for the preparation of the EIS. The contract has three phases: (1) Initial Mobilization; (2) Work through preparation and publication of the Draft EIS; and (3) Response to comments on the Draft EIS, publication of the Final EIS and Record of Decision, and litigation support if necessary. The current action is to execute the contract amendment and authorize funds to complete Phase Two A. With cost negotiations complete, the cost for Phase Two A is $13,548,176.00. Staff will return to the Board in the future to secure additional funds for Phase Two B and Phase Three.
In accordance with NRS 332.115(1)(b), the services to be performed are professional in nature and therefore exempt from competitive bidding requirements.
This First Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the District Attorney's Office. Company holds a Clark County Business License.
