Stevensville council awards asphalt maintenance contract for Steve Miller Airport to CR Contracting LLC
Summary
The council approved awarding CR Contracting LLC the low bid of about $198,000 for asphalt maintenance at the Steve Miller Airport; the airport board had recommended the award and the contract will be reviewed by the town attorney.
The Stevensville Town Council voted to award CR Contracting LLC the low bid for the Steve Miller Airport asphalt maintenance project during its May 22 meeting. The airport board had reviewed bids and recommended CR Contracting; the council approved the award by voice roll call, recorded as a 4–0 vote.
Why it matters: The project covers maintenance of airport asphalt surfaces at the Steven Miller Airport and is tied to planned FAA grant funding. The airport manager said FAA funding release is pending; the contractor procurement positions the town to move once funds arrive.
Details presented at the meeting showed an engineer’s estimate of about $397,000; CR Contracting submitted the low bid at roughly $198,000. Other bidders and the engineer’s cost estimate were included in the bid tab distributed to council members; the airport board discussed contractor experience and recommended CR Contracting based on price and familiarity with the engineer’s office. Council members noted the contract will be returned for attorney review before execution.
The motion to award the contract was moved by Council member Smith and seconded by Council member Brown. The council vote to award CR Contracting LLC was recorded as 4–0 in favor. The town will next review the contract language with the town attorney, and the airport staff said construction timing will follow FAA funding release and a 20-week equipment lead time for some components.
Ending — next steps: Contract review by the town attorney, then award execution and scheduling subject to FAA funds and contractor mobilization timelines.
