The estimated project value is listed as TBD, with compensation to be determined on a task order basis structured as lump sum fees, hourly rates, per diem rates, or not-to-exceed reimbursable fees. The Aviation Authority intends a non-exclusive agreement with the highest-ranked respondent(s) and reserves the right to reject all responses or cancel awards subject to funding availability.
