County staff recommend TPO roof overlay, HVAC replacement and airport tree‑clearing bids
Summary
Staff recommended a TPO membrane overlay and a $6,400 HVAC replacement at a county airport hangar, and sought permission to bid private‑property tree removal to clear instrument approach corridors; airport enterprise funds and timber‑harvest revenue were cited as funding sources.
County staff recommended a TPO membrane overlay for an occupied airport hangar at 201 Airport Parkway and presented three HVAC quotes for office‑area replacement. Staff said the TPO overlay (recommended low bid ~ $60,000) was least invasive for an occupied hangar and carries a 20‑year manufacturer warranty; they recommended Jackson for a $6,400 HVAC replacement. The roof and HVAC items were placed on the evening agenda for formal consideration.
On obstruction clearance, airport staff described FAA/DOT requirements to maintain approach‑clearance to active runways and outlined work already completed on the approach end of Runway 3; for Runway 21 they said a number of trees on private property had been identified as hazards and that the county plans to solicit bids to remove or trim trees, grind stumps and, where requested, allow property owners to retain cut wood. Staff said the airport enterprise fund has sufficient funds and noted roughly $40,000 in timber‑harvest revenue that helps offset costs. The airport director asked for authority to sign awarded contracts to expedite work if the board grants permission.
