(RFP 15-124) Background:In 2005, Augusta-Richmond Country and the Augusta Aviation Commission authorized the issuance of bonds not to exceed $14,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its Airport Passenger Facility Charge and General Revenue Bonds, Series A and Series B Bonds and a third not to exceed $7,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Airport General Revenue Bonds, Series C. The Bond covenants require the bonds to be redeemed and provide that the first Optional Redemption can take place beginning January 1, 2015. Based on the preliminary financial analysis conducted by the Airport staff, we believe that it is in the best interest of the Augusta Aviation Commission the Bonds during 2015 be redeemed due to the current market conditions and the Airport’s financial position. The Airport advertised for bid to perform underwriting services for the aforementioned Bonds through the County's Procurement Process and received five compliant responses: Raymond James , Piper Jaffray, Siebert Branford Shank, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., and IFS Securities. Analysis:An Evaluation Committee met on Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Upon careful review and discussion, the committee unanimously selected the firm of Raymond James. Financial Impact:Expense is part of the bond issuance cost. Alternatives:Deny request. Recommendation:Approve the selection fo Raymond James as the Bond Underwriter for the Augusta Regional Airport bonds. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: No impact on airport budget.
