Summary

The council approved final payment estimate No. 4 for the ILS replacement at Runway 12, bringing construction contract to $409,442.88 with total project costs of $581,306; the system remains offline pending FAA flight check estimated in 3–4 weeks.

The Marshall City Council approved final payment estimate No. 4 for the instrument landing system (ILS) replacement on Runway 12.

Director of Public Works Jason Anderson said the ILS project is substantially complete but not online because it awaits a flight check by the Federal Aviation Administration. Anderson said the total project cost including engineering and construction was $581,306, local participation was 30 percent, and this final pay estimate of $20,472.14 results in a final construction contract amount of $409,442.88, leaving the project "just under budget by a little under $2,000." Anderson said the consultant TKDA expects the FAA/MnDOT Aviation flight check to be scheduled about three to four weeks after federal operations resume.

Council moved and approved payment of the final estimate. If FAA flight checks identify issues, Anderson said a contractor change order would be unlikely but not impossible; staff expressed confidence the system will pass.
