Commission approves four contracts including apron flood lighting and foam‑transition contract

The Nantucket Memorial Airport Commission unanimously approved four items set out in Exhibit 1: a one‑year contract with Clean Harbors Environmental Services to transition firefighting foam and drain tanks; a contract award to Cobo Utility Construction for the apron flood lighting project (bid ~ $1,588,000; staff said FAA will fund 90% with state/local shares at 5% each); a three‑year preventative maintenance contract with 5 Star Airport Alliance for terminal baggage belt maintenance; and a license agreement for airport manager housing at 16 Kittiwake.

Staff presentation and questions: Airport staff presenter (Miss Smith) outlined the contracts and the timing. Commissioners asked for clarifications on the foam‑tank draining schedule; staff said they are awaiting executed contracts but expected activity to begin in late fall and noted some scheduling delays earlier in the season. Commissioners also reviewed that the Cobo contract is anticipated to start in spring and that its funding is part of FAA/AIP and required local matches.

Vote: The motion to approve Exhibit 1 was made and seconded; a roll‑call vote recorded “Aye” responses and staff announced the motion passed. Staff was directed to proceed with contract execution and to provide scheduling details as contracts are finalized.
