Airport Property Land Lease

The City of Kingman is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2026-RFP-016 for a long-term land lease of approximately 53,966 square feet at the Kingman Municipal Airport in Mohave County, Arizona. The primary objective is to secure a qualified lessee to design, permit, and construct a new hangar and related improvements at their own expense for use primarily in aeronautical purposes. The lease features an initial term of thirty years with two ten-year renewal options, with the final agreement terms based on the value of capital improvements made. The selected lessee must provide a comprehensive development plan, maintain the premises in a first-class condition, and adhere to all FAA requirements, including FAA Form 7460 and Grant Assurance standards. Proposals must be submitted in a standardized format not exceeding 30 pages, including a business plan, proof of financial capability, and a proposed rental rate. Evaluation is conducted by a committee of at least three City team members using a points-based scoring method, with potential award methods ranging from ranking of offers to competitive negotiations. The lessee is required to provide a security deposit equal to two months' rent and may be required to furnish performance and payment bonds or an irrevocable letter of credit. Compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and various federal non-discrimination and affirmative action programs is mandatory. The property is leased on an as-is basis, and all architectural plans must be approved by the City and prepared by an Arizona-registered professional.
