Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA) / iFlySun Website Design RFP (2026): Scoring and Budget
Closed February 26, 2026. The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority, which runs the main commercial airport for Idaho's Wood River Valley, wanted its website redesigned as a clear public library of airport documents and time-critical notices.
What decided it
Cost was 10 points of 100, the same as local knowledge. Interviews could add up to 10 bonus points, which made a strong presentation worth as much as the cost proposal. Airport or municipal work in a tourism community was the ideal profile.
Who it suited
Best suited to a studio with airport experience and references. The RFP also stated a local, ownership or certification preference. Estimated budget: $25K–$60K. Understanding of project goals and scope carried the most weight, at 20% of the score.
