Rolla National Airport awarded about $2.5M for runway rehab; council hears design and rebid plans for taxiway
Summary
Public Works Director Darin Pryor told the council the Rolla National Airport received approximately $2.5 million in discretionary funds for rehabilitation of runway 13/31. The council heard first readings of two Woolpert consultant agreements: a supplemental agreement to change the taxiway design and an aviation consultant agreement for runway design services.
Public Works Director Darin Pryor told the Rolla City Council on Jan. 20 that the Rolla National Airport has been awarded approximately $2.5 million in discretionary funds to rehabilitate runway 13/31, a project listed on the city's capital improvement plan for several years.
Pryor also described a supplemental agreement with Woolpert, Inc., that would change the taxiway design from a full reconstruction to a partial reconstruction and cover the re-bid/redesign phase of that contract. City Counselor James Klahr read both the taxiway supplemental agreement ordinance and the aviation consultant agreement for runway 13/31 for their first readings; no council votes were taken on those ordinances at this meeting.
The funding award provides the city a pathway to proceed with design and future construction phases, but the minutes show the agreements still require subsequent council action following the first readings and any procurement or bidding steps.
