MoDOT inspection prompts $61,964 runway repairs; city seeks funding options
Summary
After a three‑year MoDOT inspection, Mount Vernon officials said the runway needs crack‑fill and seal work and reported receiving a single bid from Coltrane Asphalt for $61,964.00; the work was not budgeted and staff will explore MoDOT funding.
City Administrator Robert Harrington told the Board that MoDOT's three‑year airport inspection identified compliance repairs, specifically crack filling and sealing of the runway.
Harrington said the city solicited multiple bids and received one from Coltrane Asphalt for $61,964.00. He noted the work was not budgeted but flagged as necessary to meet inspection requirements before the next MoDOT review. "The runway would need to be crack filled and sealed," Harrington said, and asked staff to investigate whether MoDOT funds or program assistance could cover the expense.
Aldermen did not vote on funding at the meeting; Mayor Jason Haymes asked Harrington to check MoDOT funding availability. The board will need either to allocate funds or identify grant/assistance options to complete the required repairs before the next inspection cycle.
