After a competitive selection process, the City of Fernandina Beach has reselected Passero Associates LLC (Passero) to provide professional general engineering consulting services for Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport for the next 5+ years. All five commissioners of the City voted in favor of the contract award to Passero Associates LLC.
Passero has served the City in this capacity since 1999, successfully managing over 50 development projects (construction value $20M+) at the Airport.
Nathan Coyle, Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport Manager, says, “After reviewing the list of outstanding consulting firms that expressed interest, the review committee again recommended the reselection of Passero. The talented and dedicated group of professionals at Passero have an impressive record of project support and completion, and I am excited to have Passero back on board and am looking forward to an exciting future for the airport.”
Andrew Holesko, Passero’s Director of Aviation Services noted, “The working relationship between the City and Passero has always been exceptional. Our 20+ year work history speaks for itself, and is a result of the dedicated efforts of City staff, funding agencies and our internal staff. A collaborative development effort is always the main reason that Passero is reselected at any of our airports.”
