Summary
At the March 31 workshop, Interim Airport Manager Cherie Jadot reported the Illinois Valley Airport fuel farm contract was awarded to All Construction Elements, LLC for $566,328.27 and outlined county oversight plans and an FAA flight‑inspection agreement.
Cherie Jadot, interim airport manager, told the County Commissioners on March 31 that the Illinois Valley Airport fuel farm contract was awarded to All Construction Elements, LLC following a competitive bidding process. Jadot said the contract amount is $566,328.27 and that the airports office plans to keep project management under county oversight rather than turn operations over to an independent fixed‑base operator (FBO).
Jadot also described a Federal Aviation Administration flight‑inspection agreement tied to the runway extension, with an estimated cost of $35,006.83; she said the FAA may reimburse the county if actual inspection costs are lower than estimated. The board moved the contract award and the FAA agreement to the weekly business session for administrative action or inclusion on the consent calendar.
Jadot outlined staffing implications, noting discussion touched on hiring an employee to oversee the fuel farm program rather than relying on an independent FBO. The board did not take a final vote on staffing at the workshop, instead directing the matter forward for formal action at the upcoming weekly session.
