Council approves airport apron work, hangar lease and related contracts as FAA funding requires
Summary
Council authorized a five‑year hangar lease with Ed and Lana Hansen, approved a task order with Ardura Group for apron reconstruction services and awarded the Hunt Field apron reconstruction contract to Century Companies Inc. after confirming FAA/state funding with a 4% local match. Staff explained FAA cost structures and funding sources.
The council approved several airport items tied to FAA project requirements. Members authorized the mayor to sign a hangar space land lease with Ed and Lana Hansen and approved task order 2026‑01 under contract 260028 with Ardura Group Inc. for apron reconstruction bidding and construction administration services. Staff explained that construction‑phase services use a cost‑plus‑fixed fee model (FAA‑audited overhead) while bidding services use standard hourly rates.
Council also authorized the notice of award and notice to proceed for the Hunt Field apron reconstruction and beacon replacement to Century Companies Inc., with a contract amount listed at $3,203,972. Lance, the city’s project lead, said the FAA and state provided funding and that the city’s local share (4%) will come from airport fuel funds, not the general fund. Councilmembers asked about schedule estimates and the potential impact of per‑diem and lodging expenses during construction; staff said the project is a FAA‑driven priority and the timeline is an estimate that could roll into next year.
