Discussion of Airport Runway Overlay Project – City Manager said that this overlay project has a projected cost of $2,280,654.00 and has a 90/10% match. The City match is $266,500.00. As part of the project the overlay will be a 1” leveling project with a 2” asphalt overlay. F.A.A. will only cover the actual runway and not any entrances into hangars. This will affect the entrance into the Ward Kraft hangar. The amount to include the Ward Kraft hangar is $35,638.25 and is not included in the City match.
Discussion was held regarding the hangar contract between the City and Ward Kraft and how much longer was left on it. There is two years left.
City Attorney recommended contacting Ward Kraft and seeing if they would terminate the agreement early.
Seth Simpson said that it would not matter if it is City property or not, as it is a entrance into a single hangar. They will only pay for the runway extension. The timeframe is for the project to be published with the Request for Bids on February 26th, 2022 with bids to open on March 24th, 2022 and the deadline for the grant application is April 1st, 2022.
Discussion was held if the Commission could consider this and have a special meeting before the work session on February 22nd, 2022.
Seth said that there would still be enough time to apply.
