Olive Branch aldermen approve $3,510 change order for airport corporate hangar
Summary
The Olive Branch Board of Aldermen on Jan. 6 approved a $3,510 change order to a contract for 'corporate hangar number one' at the municipal airport, increasing the contract by roughly $3,510 and adding a 28‑day calendar extension to complete work on an electrical mounting change.
The Olive Branch Board of Aldermen voted Jan. 6 to approve change order No. 1 on a contract with Timbos Construction Incorporated for the city’s corporate hangar project at the municipal airport, adding $3,510 to the contract and authorizing a 28‑day calendar extension.
The change order increases the contract amount from about $1,474,981.20 to about $1,478,491.20 to cover an electrical mounting revision: the mounting will be placed on ground-mounted asphalt rather than on a pole, the board was told. A staff member affirmed the explanation of the change, saying, “Yes sir. I think so.”
The mayor said the hangar project, funded largely through an earlier legislative award, is progressing and encouraged board members to view the site. “If you hadn't had a chance to go by the airport to see the hangar, I'd encourage you to,” the mayor said during discussion.
Mr. Gamage moved to approve the additive change order; Mr. Collins seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.
The contract and its change order were handled as part of the meeting’s new business; no additional public hearings on this change order were recorded.
Action details: change order No. 1 to the contract with Timbos Construction Incorporated for “corporate hangar number one,” additive $3,510; time extension, 28 calendar days. Funding for the project was described as coming largely from a legislative award tied to the 1.5‑million‑dollar project.
Next steps: The board did not record further public debate on the project at the meeting and proceeded to other agenda items, including a motion to enter executive session.
