Board approves airport pay request, marketing and project contracts tied to $6.8M terminal project
Summary
Supervisors approved a $286,800.15 contractor payment request (with 5% retainage) and authorized multiple airport contracts and marketing work tied to a $6.8 million terminal project, including a $65,000 marketing agreement and a $235,000 project-manager contract.
County staff presented several airport-related items tied to the ongoing terminal project and the board approved contractor payments and associated contracts.
The first contractor payment request for the terminal project was $286,800.15, showing a 5% retainage. The county administrator moved the payment and the board approved the request by voice vote.
Staff also asked the board to record a $65,000 marketing contract (flymatches.com) that will be paid from a small community grant and described a separately budgeted $235,000 contract for an airport project manager; the county confirmed these amounts are included in the terminal project budget and the board approved those items and directed staff to include the contracts in the minutes.
Separately, the board approved a $61,417.50 first pay application for the restroom project at Justin Willow Steel after contractor mobilization and reported progress on masonry and plumbing. Landscape architect Joey Firth said the contractor was on schedule and expected completion in April.
Board action was limited to authorizing the payments and recording contracts; staff said further pay requests and retainage releases will return to the board for approval under the county’s procurement and payment procedures.
"This payment includes mobilization, bonding and early concrete work; the contractor is meeting the schedule we reviewed," Joey Firth said when asking for the restroom-project payment.
The board recorded the approvals and asked staff to track retainage and future requests to ensure payments match completed work.
