John Wayne Airport General Aviation Improvement Program

The County of Orange has authorized the Third Amendment to the Northwest Full-Service Fixed Base Operation Lease at John Wayne Airport in Costa Mesa, California, to enable Clay Lacy Aviation, Inc. to finance facility improvements through the issuance of revenue obligations. This action followed environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with compliance documented through the Final Program Environmental Impact Report No. 627 and adherence to CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, including the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations. The project’s performance location is clearly defined as 361 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa, and the amendment was approved by the Orange County Board of Supervisors on December 2, 2025, with formal execution occurring on December 9, 2025, by Julie Fitch, the Planning Manager for John Wayne Airport. The solicitation number for this action is ASR 25-000459, and while the contract is categorized as a forecast type, no explicit contract value, pricing structure, or standard contract type such as FFP or IDIQ is provided, indicating this is primarily a lease modification for financial structuring rather than a traditional procurement. There is no information in the available documentation regarding contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging or marking requirements, inspection and acceptance protocols, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or special contract requirements such as security clearances, key personnel specifications, or option periods. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from Clay Lacy Aviation, Inc. are included, nor are there details on payment offices, remittance instructions, or electronic invoicing systems. The County of Orange, through OC Public Works and OC Development Services/Planning, serves as the lead agency and point of contact, with Julie Fitch as the primary administrative liaison. The focus of the transaction is strictly on environmental compliance and financial authorization for infrastructure improvements, with no technical specifications, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or performance metrics outlined. All referenced attachments, such as the lease amendment and environmental report, lack formal identifiers or metadata typically associated with structured contract sections.
