Sealed bids were <br />opened publicly on March 28, 2024, at Kittitas County Public <br />Works. There were three (3) responsive bids received. The <br />lowest responsive bid was from Central Paving, LLC in the <br />amount of $351,414.94. <br />The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reviewed bid <br />documents and responded on April 19, 2024, with concurrence <br />to award. <br />Pavement rehabilitation of the east taxilane and apron area are <br />identified as a priority need in the Bowers Field Capital <br />Improvement Plan (CIP). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as <br />enacted in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorized <br />additional allocation for airport projects. Funding for pavement <br />rehabilitation work for Bowers Field project FAVAIP No. 3-53- <br />0026-022-2023 was awarded for 90 percent of construction with <br />a 10 percent local match. A grant application has been submitted <br />to the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation <br />Division for funding to cover 5 percent of the required match. <br />The FAA has not yet released funds for the grant. This is <br />anticipated. The anticipated start of construction is June 2024. <br />INTERACTION: Public Works. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution to Award the Contract for the Bowers <br />Field Taxilane Pavement Rehabilitation and Apron <br />Reconfiguration Project and Authorize the Public Works <br />Director to execute the same. <br />HANDLING: Return one (1) copy to Public Works. <br />ATTACHMENTS: Resolution with Bid Tab <br />LEAD STAFF: Joshua Fredrickson <br />Public Works Director <br />
