Explanation
§ On April 22, 2019, City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $14,848,240 to Blythe Brothers Asphalt, LLC for the Runway 18L/36R Rehabilitation and Taxiway C7 Removal project.
§ The original contract excluded some sections of asphalt that had one to three years of remaining life.
§ Considering the reduced aircraft operations starting in March 2020, the runway can be closed for longer periods of time without significant operational impacts, therefore creating efficiencies for the construction operation.
§ This change order will now incorporate the removal and replacement of the pavement sections originally excluded. This will get all sections of the runway on the same pavement replacement cycle and will extend the useful life of the runway by seven years.
§ The change order also includes airfield lighting and pavement markings.
§ The new total value of the contract is $16,347,940.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property located in Council District 3.
