Board clears airport runway bid release and approves hospital roof professional services contract
Summary
Taylor County approved release for bid documents for a secondary runway rehabilitation at Perry-Fuller Airport using a FEMA grant and authorized a $203,515 professional-services agreement for the Doctors Memorial roofing project; both were described as 100% grant funded.
County staff informed the board that Taylor County received a FEMA grant of $3,525,321 to rehabilitate Runway 12/30 at Perry-Fuller Airport. Staff requested authorization to release bid documents for the runway rehab; the project is not FAA-AIP eligible because it is the airport—acility—ackup runway. The board approved the release to solicit bids and also approved a task-order agreement with Avcon Incorporated for design, engineering, project management and oversight in the amount of $298,080 (100% grant funded), as described in the agenda packet.
In a separate procurement item, the board approved the scope and fees for professional services for the Doctors Memorial Hospital roofing project. ALW was the recommended contractor with a professional-services amount of $203,515; staff said the project is 100% grant funded and that the county attorney had reviewed the contract.
Why this matters: Rehabilitating airport infrastructure and addressing hospital facility needs advance county resilience and public safety; both projects are funded through external grants and require procurement and design oversight steps before construction.
Commissioners moved to approve the bid release and to proceed with the professional-services agreement for the hospital roofing project; staff said they would bring necessary hard copies and documents back to the board and that the county attorney had reviewed the contractors' documents.
