Summary
The board approved Armstrong's scope of work to design, bid and help construct a roughly 10,200‑foot wildlife fence; Armstrong estimated construction at about $400,000 and said environmental clearances (SHPO) and FAA coordination are in progress.
The Grand County Airport Board approved a task order with Armstrong to design and prepare bidding documents for a wildlife fence estimated at about 10,200 linear feet.
Justin, an Armstrong representative, said environmental work is underway: the cultural‑resource survey and categorical exclusion paperwork have been completed and submitted, the FAA has approved the categorical exclusion and the work now awaits SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) concurrence. He described an estimated construction cost of about $400,000 (roughly $40 per linear foot) and said coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be needed for a drainage crossing under the runway.
A board member moved to approve Armstrong's scope of work; the motion passed unanimously by voice vote. The approval authorizes the design phase and the subsequent bid phase, after which construction estimates may be refined.
Next steps: complete SHPO and Corps coordination, finalize design and issue bid documents for construction.
