Explanation
* Aviation began planning for the Joint Operations Center (JOC) following a nationwide recommendation from the Department of Homeland Security that all airports establish this type of facility.
* On May 22, 2017, City Council approved a contract in the amount of $1,432,770 with RS&H to provide design services for the JOC.

* The new value of the contract, including the amendment, is $1,761,808.
