The QBS award is given to a government entity that makes an outstanding contribution to the advancement and improvement of the public health, safety and welfare through its efforts to select design consultants on the basis of their competence rather than solely by bid price. The airport was honored for the approach it used to select engineering consultants for a series of major projects, including the bus intermodal transfer and baggage claim facilities, 3,800 linear feet of runway extension, 5,400 linear feet of primary runway, a new Mid-Field Terminal facility and construction of a new general aviation airport in Ozark. |ret||ret||tab|

The Missouri Society of Professional Engineers was founded in 1937. The society represents more than 2,000 members from all disciplines of the engineering profession. In addition to its private practice division, it has four other divisions: construction, education, government and industry. |ret||ret||tab|
