Crook County moves to award $1.15 million T‑hangar project, pending FAA concurrence
Summary
The board approved an intent-to-award of $1,148,885 for a T‑hangar construction project largely funded by the FAA, authorized contract signatures after the bid protest period, and asked staff to confirm the low bidder's references.
Kelly Coppell, Crook County airport manager, told the board the county received bids for an ~11,000-square-foot T‑hangar and recommended awarding the project to 2KG Contractors for $1,148,885, a package funded mostly by FAA grants with some state and airport funds. Coppell said the project would likely require about $450,000 from airport reserve funds but is expected to generate roughly $60,000 a year in revenue at full occupancy.
Commissioners asked about the airport fund balance and the five‑year forecast; Christina (finance director) said the airport fund would remain above a $1 million balance under the forecast and the repayment period for the fund drawdown was likely near five years. Commissioners also asked legal staff to verify references for the apparent low bidder with the Bend school district and to confirm FAA concurrence; staff reported FAA concurrence arrived shortly before the meeting.
The board approved an amended motion to accept staff recommendation, authorize award to 2KG Contractors (subject to FAA concurrence) and to authorize signature following the bid protest period. Legal staff will follow up to confirm bidder capacity and complete contract execution steps.
