City notes completion of event-center fencing and airport taxiway rehabilitation; projects funded by grants and contracts
Summary
City staff reported notice of completion for nearly 800 feet of fencing at the Tehachapi Event Center installed by Yukon Fence, and completion of a long-planned rehabilitation and relocation of the airport taxiway financed largely with grant funding; both items were informational notices.
City staff reported two notices of completion during the meeting: installation of fencing in front of the rodeo grounds at the Tehachapi Event Center and completion of a long-term airport taxiway rehabilitation and relocation project.
Staff said Yukon Fence installed just under 800 feet of fencing in front of the rodeo grounds; the work was delivered on time and on budget and used during July 4 events. The notice of completion for that contract was informational only; staff said they would answer questions if council members had any.
City staff also reported completion of a rehabilitation and relocation of a taxiway at the Tehachapi Airport. The project, which staff said had been in the works for about 10 years, included more than $7,000,000 in grant funding and about $5,800,000 in construction costs (figures reported in the meeting). Staff credited Airport Manager Ashley Whitmore and Bartali Engineering (John Smith) for leading design and construction work over the last decade. The transcript records the item as a notice of completion and the council did not take further action on it during the meeting.
Council members and attendees commented positively on the appearance and timeliness of the completed projects. Staff said landscaping and subsequent surface treatments remain part of follow-up work for the event-center area and that other pavement/chipping resources are being prioritized for alleys and other city maintenance needs.
