City approves Goodwin Mills Cawood contract for airport taxiway rehab; local share roughly $3,076

Ben Harrison told the council the next Airport Improvement Program (AIP) project will rehabilitate a taxiway and that Goodwin Mills Cawood will serve as engineer of record to administer the grant and engineering services. He said the project total was about $279,000 and explained the funding split: 90% federal, 5% state and 5% local; the local 5% is split between the city and county (about 2.5% each) and Harrison estimated the city’s portion at roughly $3,076.

Council discussed the small local fiscal share and adopted a resolution to enter the contract and administer the AIP grant. Harrison said the city had previously approved the overall grant at the fiscal-year start and that Goodwin Mills Cawood will manage the grant and engineering tasks.

Next steps: Goodwin Mills Cawood to administer the project under the AIP grant; the city will fulfill the small local match when invoiced.
