City awards $7.71 million contract to F and F Construction for Midland Air Park entry road
Summary
Council approved awarding construction of the Midland Air Park Entry Road enhancements to F and F Construction Inc. for $7,710,296.50 with $642,059.10 in contingencies; councilmembers said reengineering the project reduced costs and added a second entrance to improve safety and future hangar development.
The council voted to award the Midland Air Park Entry Road enhancements contract to F and F Construction Incorporated for $7,710,296.50, with $642,059.10 set aside for contingencies. Councilwoman Poole, who had pulled the item for discussion, said the project was reengineered after receiving a single high bid earlier; the new plan adds a second entrance so future construction won’t require a temporary road and saves approximately $1 million in previously projected temporary-road costs.
Staff and council members discussed design choices that enabled a bridge rather than a box culvert at a lower price; Poole said the second entrance will improve safety and support future hangar development. The motion carried unanimously.
