Commissioners move Whiting Aviation Park taxiway change order and related contracts to consent agenda
Summary
Staff presented a change order for Whiting Aviation Park taxiway construction ($893,495.56) and a $69,267 task order for taxiway management; commissioners praised staff’s work and moved the items to Thursday's consent agenda.
Staff presented a change order for Whiting Aviation Park taxiway construction—change order No. 1—with a cost of $893,495.56 and a contract time extension of 70 days for work by Panhandle Paving and Grading. Staff said competitive bidding and bid alternates produced cost savings and that the taxiway extension is intended to position the park for potential new tenants.
The board also reviewed task order No. 6 for RFQ 23-012 with Moffett Nickel in the amount of $69,267 for management of the taxiway extension. Commissioner Burkett praised staff and described the potential job-creation benefits of bringing aviation contractors to the site. Both items were moved to Thursday's consent agenda for formal action.
Why it matters: The change order and task order advance a county economic-development project that staff tied to job recruitment and aviation-park growth.
