The city is conducting a competitive concession procurement process for operators to use city heliports. One of the evaluation criteria is the fee offer that operators propose to pay to generate revenue for the city.

No specific lease fee amount is listed in the RFP
Operators submit competitive fee offers as part of their proposals
Fee offer is one criteria evaluated, along with operational experience and quality of life concerns
The council member requests to be kept informed of the revenue outcomes from these agreements

Just really quickly, in the RFP that's listed, that's that we have submissions on, is there a listed lease fee for the operators?

1:09:53

Like, is there a is there a description of how much folks have the operators would have to pay to utilize and lease out of, like, usage from the teleports?

1:10:28

Okay.

1:10:28

Great.

1:10:30

I'd like to see our revenue directly generated from at least these agreements that we have to be higher than what we're getting.

1:10:38

So please keep me in the loop of what that turns out to be with the RFP.

Yeah.

1:10:02

So it's a concession that we're running through a competitive procurement.

1:10:06

So as one of multiple criteria, evaluation criteria, it is a fee offer, and it's a to the market to come up with the most competitive fee offer to generate the most revenue to the city.

1:10:18

But again, that's just one evaluation criteria that we're balancing along with you know, operational experience and which will and quality of life concerns as well.
