Board approves claims, runway rehab contract and multiple pay requests; adopts DBE goal
Summary
The Elkhart City Board of Aviation Commissioners approved claims totaling $354,433.28, awarded the Runway 18–36 rehabilitation contract to Milestone Construction for $1,857,934.64, approved AIP and progress pay requests and adopted a three-year DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) goal as presented.
The Board of Aviation Commissioners voted on a series of routine and capital items and approved claims, contracts and funding actions during its meeting.
The board approved claims totaling $354,433.28 after a brief discussion about specific line items, including a temporary radio base and a partial payment for door casters. "What it was for. It seemed that it was awful high," one board member asked; staff explained the line items and a roll call vote approved the claims.
The board also voted to execute a notice of award and construction contract for the Runway 18–36 rehabilitation project. The contract award to Milestone Construction was for $1,857,934.64; the board approved the notice of award by roll call.
Other approved actions included contractor progress estimates and pay requests tied to AIP 40, approval of the New Tech Corporation contractor progress estimate tied to T-hangar construction, approval to number ten new T-hangars as 70–79, and an invoice/payment of $5,206.09 related to the joint-replacement project. Several items were presented as motions, seconded and approved by roll call.
The board also received and approved a revised Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal for the airport’s federally funded projects. The three-year goal was described as 3.4% race-neutral (0% race-conscious) under the federal formula presented; the board opened a public hearing on the draft and then approved the final version by roll call.
