Chadron council approves $648,779 bid for airport snow‑removal building
Summary
The City of Chadron voted unanimously May 18 to award a $648,779 contract for a snow‑removal equipment building at Chadron Municipal Airport; the project is a 95/5 state/federal-to-city cost share, leaving the city’s estimated share at about $40,000 and requiring FAA and NDOT approval.
The City of Chadron on May 18 voted unanimously to award a $648,779 contract to K.L. Wood & Co., LLC for construction of a snow‑removal equipment (SRE) building, access drive and approach at Chadron Municipal Airport.
Scott Schremmer, Parks/Cemetery/Airport Superintendent, told the council the City received two bids and that Olsson Associates recommended accepting the low bid. Schremmer said the project is expected to be completed by August 2027 and will be funded on a 95/5 cost‑share, with state and federal grants covering 95% of the work and the City responsible for about $40,000 of the total, subject to approval by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Nebraska Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics.
Councilmember Shane Shepherd introduced Resolution 2026‑38 and Councilmember Kevin Oleksy seconded. The roll‑call vote was Aye: Andersen, Graves, Klein, Oleksy, Shepherd; Nay: None.
The approved resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract and directs the City Clerk to return bid bonds for unsuccessful bidders, holding the next lowest bidder’s bond until the awarded bidder files a performance bond and signs the contract.
Construction is planned to support airport winter operations by housing snow‑removal machinery and providing an improved access drive and approach to airport infrastructure. The authorization is conditioned on FAA and NDOT sign‑off required by the Airport Improvement Program agreement.
