Board approves engineering agreements for airport runway, hangar and AWOS projects
Summary
The board approved engineering agreements and related FAA sponsor documents for runway rehabilitation at Austin Airport, a hangar project at Battle Mountain Airport and AWOS procurement/installation at both airports; local match amounts were noted for each contract.
County engineering and consulting staff presented four airport projects and associated agreements for county approval. David Meyer of JEB/JEV Engineering outlined an estimated $2.4–$2.7 million paving project at Austin Airport (runway and connectors) and described required FAA sponsor documents, independent fee estimates and local matching funds for the projects.
Commissioners voted to approve the record-of-negotiation letters, fee proposals and agreements for the runway rehabilitation, hangar construction and AWOS procurements at Austin and Battle Mountain, authorizing the county manager to sign. "For these projects over $100,000 the FAA requires a sponsor to engage a third-party consulting firm through what they call an independent fee estimate," Meyer said, noting Century West provided the IFE documentation included in the board packet.
