Board concurs with award for Illinois Valley Airport Avgas system; funding from HB5202
Summary
Airports staff presented five bids for an Avgas fueling system funded by HB5202; the board concurred with the award, directed staff to provide a maintenance plan, and noted a seven‑day protest period before finalizing the contract.
Airports staff Cheri Jadot told the board that five bids were received for an Avgas fueling system for Illinois Valley Airport and asked the board to confirm a letter with Precision Engineer. Jadot said the project funding derives from HB5202, with approximately $750,000 provided in 2023 plus interest as recorded in the packet.
The board directed staff to provide a maintenance plan and acknowledged a seven‑day protest period after the award is concurred. Jadot said the construction target is about 60 days for the tank installation in summer 2026 and that on‑site fueling is expected around September 2026. The board recorded approval of the award without objection.
Next steps: staff will complete the protest period, finalize contract paperwork and provide the requested maintenance plan; the board will be updated if a protest is filed or if material changes to scope or cost occur.
