Airport runway extension bids come in within budget; city match reduced to 5 percent
Summary
Bids for the airport runway extension came in with an apparent low bidder; project cost is roughly $2.1 million in construction with the city's required match at about 5 percent (~$150,000). Staff will review bids and bring a recommendation to the council.
The committee received an update on the municipal airport runway extension: bids were opened and the apparent low bidder on the construction contract is KJU. The construction portion of the apparent low bid is approximately $2.1 million; the overall project cost includes design and construction engineering.
Staff reported that, unusually for the current funding round, the state match requirement for this grant is 5 percent rather than 10 percent, which reduces the city’s cash obligation to about $150,000. Bids are valid for 120 days while staff completes a review and prepares a council agenda item.
If the contract is awarded, staff said construction is anticipated late summer to early fall. No formal committee action was required or taken at the briefing; staff will return to the city council with a formal recommendation after final bid review.
