Commission approves U68 runway rehab funding application and contingent contractor award
Summary
Airports and Land Planning staff secured commission approval for a funding application for the U68 Runway Rehab Project and presented a recommendation of award to Centuries Asphalt, contingent on concurrence from Ardurra and FAA project funding; the project is expected to roll out likely in September.
Paul Thur, speaking for Airports and Land Planning, asked the commission to approve a funding application for the U68 Runway Rehab Project and presented a recommendation of award to Centuries Asphalt for runway work.
Thur said the award is contingent upon concurrence from Ardurra (the consultant) and receipt of FAA project funding. He told the commission the project would likely roll out in September, discussed options for storing millings for later use to address mud issues, and described cooperation with Road and Bridge (including a broom service trade) to support the project. The commission approved the funding application and signed the recommendation for award pending the consultant and FAA concurrence.
Thur also noted the final contractor retainer for the Cowley pilot lounge is due July 21 and proposed processing the check in the June 15 accounts-payable cycle but holding release until the July 21 date.
Why it matters: runway rehabilitation is an FAA-funded capital project that affects airport safety and operations; contractor selection and funding concurrence affect project timing and county cash-flow planning.
What’s next: Thur will follow up with Ardurra and FAA, coordinate logistics for millings storage and project timing, and manage the retainer payment per the commission’s direction.
