Commission approves FAA grant application and tentatively awards taxiway expansion bid at Marvin Sky Airport
Summary
The commission authorized submittal of a $590,000 FAA grant application (county share $14,750) for taxiway build-out at Marvin Sky Lincoln County Airport and gave tentative award to the lowest responsive bidder, Blacktop Paving, for a $375,551.51 hangar taxiway expansion, conditioned on FAA funding.
Lincoln County commissioners authorized an FAA grant application and tentatively awarded a low bid for a hangar taxiway expansion at Marvin Sky Lincoln County Airport.
County staff described Item 11 as an application for phase two of a 20-acre airport build-out; the grant request totals $590,000 with a county share of $14,750 and a federal share of $560,500 (state share $14,750). The authorization allows the county to apply; if awarded, commissioners said they would return for final approval before proceeding.
On Item 12, staff reported the base bid for AIP project 3-41-0078-025-2026 (Hangar Taxiway Expansion) was the lowest responsive bid from Blacktop Paving of Tea, S.D., at $375,551.51. The bid was advertised as conditioned on receipt of the FAA grant; commissioners approved the tentative award consistent with public-bid procedures.
Commissioner Putnam requested the items be removed from consent earlier so the public could hear details; a resident (Linda Montgomery) later commended that choice. The commission voted to approve the grant application authorization and the tentative bid award; both actions were recorded by roll call.
