Additional Q&A
1. Will the selected RFP respondent be prevented from answering/competing for future RFPs?
No.
2. Can the hangars be sold or only leased?
Hangars can be sold, however, issues may arise with connected hangars sold to different owners due to shared common walls and roof. A proposed way to handle these issues should be proposed in the response.

The City’s standard lease documents allow for subleasing with City approval.
