Council awards $112,832 sewer extension contract for Alliance Municipal Airport; councilmember abstains
Summary
The Alliance City Council awarded the Airport Sanitary Sewer Extension Project to Peltz Companies, Inc. for $112,832 and authorized a reimbursement agreement with Flying Rhino Aviation. The motion passed with Councilman Hitchcock abstaining due to a disclosed conflict of interest.
The Alliance City Council on June 2 approved Resolution No. 26-48 awarding the Airport Sanitary Sewer Extension Project to Peltz Companies, Inc. in the amount of $112,832.00. Councilman Turman moved to approve the award; Vice Mayor Mashburn seconded and the measure carried with Turman, Vice Mayor Mashburn and Mayor John McGhehey voting aye and Councilman Hitchcock abstaining after filing a conflict-of-interest statement.
The project covers the construction of approximately 770 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main, three manholes, a connection to an existing sewer manhole, 90 linear feet of 4-inch service and replacement of 206 square yards of concrete pavement. City materials state the Airport’s 2025–26 capital budget includes $140,000 for the work under GL 22-41-43-59-970. M.C. Schaff and Associates recommended awarding to the low, responsive bidder, Peltz Companies, Inc.
Airport Director Placek told the council the extension is being designed to meet airport needs and to serve current tenants on the east ramp. The resolution notes that Ryan Stuhlmiller dba Flying Rhino Aviation has agreed to reimburse the City for the portion identified as Schedule B (the packet lists Schedule B reimbursement at $7,677.50). Mayor John McGhehey said, "it is great that the bid was lower than the engineer had anticipated."
The council authorized the mayor to sign the reimbursement agreement with Mr. Stuhlmiller. Staff also noted the engineering agreement for design and bidding was $9,125.00, with construction inspection fees to be negotiated and with an understanding that other city budget lines could cover unforeseen overages if the project line is exhausted.
