Airport Commission Recommends Award for Runway Rehabilitation Design Contract

The Roseburg Airport Commission reviewed and recommended the City Council award Task Order Number Seven to Mead and Hunt for the design phase of the airport runway and South Apron Rehabilitation Project. The task order, with a fee proposal of $466,319, covers engineering and design services through the bidding phase, excluding construction management. The project is eligible for 95% FAA funding ($443,000), with a portion sought from an ODA grant, leaving a small city funding requirement. The commission discussed concerns regarding the runway width, specifically the outer 12.5 feet on each side, and how to maintain it while potentially narrowing the runway to 75 feet for FAA funding eligibility. This decision and associated costs will be presented to the commission for further discussion and potential action.
