Councilman moves to table Stevensville airport pavement bids, asks airport board to review
Summary
At a Stevensville Town Council meeting, Councilman Brown moved to table a decision on four bids for pavement maintenance at the airport and refer them to the airport board for review. Staff review found each bidder’s submission included standard certifications and documentation; bid totals ranged from about $201,116 to $1.9 million.
Councilman Brown moved to table a decision on four bids for pavement maintenance at the Stevensville airport and asked that the airport board review the submissions and recommend which bidder the council should select.
The motion, offered during a public meeting, called for the airport board to examine all four bids and return a recommendation to the council. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. The transcript records the motion and a period of council discussion but does not record a final vote on the motion.
Staff opened and reviewed four bids, noting whether each submission was for maintenance or rehabilitation work. Staff said the first three items were classified as maintenance; the pavement-rehabilitation item was identified separately. Review items recorded in the meeting included unit prices, equal-opportunity certification, contractor registration numbers, signatures and dates, bonds where listed, evidence of competency, financial statements, Buy American certification (where applicable), and trade-restriction and tax-delinquency checks.
Bidders and schedule-1 totals recorded during the review were: - Highlight Airfield Services LLC (Watertown, New York): $237,815.33 - American Road Maintenance (Tucson, Arizona): $338,895.00 - CR Contracting LLC (Bend, Oregon): $1,908,020.54 - Road Products LLC (Spokane Valley, Washington): $201,116.25
Council discussion addressed whether to reissue the solicitation or have the airport board evaluate the bids and advise the council. Council members said staff would discuss options with the airport board and with Brian (a staff member referenced in the meeting) and return with a recommendation. One council member characterized the pavement maintenance work (sealing cracks and protecting newer pavement) as a higher near-term priority than the larger pavement-rehabilitation project that would involve tearing up and rebuilding old taxi lanes.
The record in the transcript shows the motion to table and that it was seconded. The transcript does not show the council taking a recorded vote or announcing a final disposition during the excerpt provided.
The council did not specify funding sources, award criteria beyond the documentation checks, or a schedule for when the airport board’s recommendation would return to the council.
