Stevensville council accepts FAA-funded pavement rehab bid for airport
Loading...
Summary
At a special meeting Thursday evening the Stevensville Town Council voted to accept Hollow Contracting’s low bid for an FAA-funded pavement rehabilitation project at the Stevensville Airport; staff said the project is fully funded by the FAA and the Montana Department of Aeronautics and the contract will return for execution.
The Stevensville Town Council approved accepting a low bid for pavement rehabilitation at the Stevensville Airport and authorized staff to proceed toward contract execution.
Brian, a town staff presenter, told the council that bids were opened last week and that Hollow Contracting, working with J and J Excavating, was the apparent low bidder. He said the project “is a 100% funded through the FAA and Montana Department of Aeronautics,” and emphasized the need to meet the FAA deadline at the end of the month so work can proceed.
Council members asked about the contractor’s airport experience and the bid review process. Brian said engineers had verified the bid met the criteria and noted that Hollow had done substantial highway work and had positive references from engineers managing nearby projects.
Council member Smith moved to accept Hollow Contracting’s bid for the pavement rehabilitation; another member seconded. The clerk called the roll and members answered in the affirmative. The meeting record states, “Motion passes 4 2 0.” The motion authorizes staff to move forward with the contract procurement process; Brian said the executed contract will return to council for formal execution.
The council’s action allows the town to proceed with an FAA- and state-funded runway/airfield surface rehabilitation without local capital outlay. Staff warned that final contract award and execution remain contingent on satisfying FAA criteria and completing the town’s internal contracting steps.
