Board reviews $870,000 fuel-farm replacement quote and asks staff to seek alternatives
Summary
A Hoosier Equipment quote for a two-tank fuel farm replacement totaled $870,000; the board asked Manager Erica Burkemper to check with other local airports and vendors for alternative options and pricing; the board also discussed using hangar sales to help fund the upgrade.
During old business, Manager Erica Burkemper presented a quote from Hoosier Equipment for a new fuel-farm setup — two tanks, pumps, removal of the old system and installation of the new — with the quoted price of $870,000. Commissioners discussed the scope and price and asked Burkemper to check with other local airports to learn about alternative vendors and practices before making a decision.
The board also discussed potential revenue options to fund the fuel-farm upgrade, including interest from current tenants in purchasing existing hangars. Commissioners asked Burkemper to obtain estimated values for hangars where tenants have expressed interest so the board can analyze whether hangar sales or leases could offset part of the fuel-farm cost.
