The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors approved construction and engineering contracts for runway safety and drainage improvements at Sedona Airport on Sept. 2, funded by an FAA grant.
Public Works Director Roger McCormick recommended award of the construction contract to Jay Banneke Construction for $2,276,754, the lowest of three bids, and recommended Dibble Engineering for project engineering and oversight at $419,217.36. McCormick said the projects are funded by an FAA grant and will not require county cash; that grant had been approved previously by the board. "This will allow us to do construction at Sedona Airport infield runway safety area and drainage improvements," McCormick said, and staff noted no local match was required.
The board approved both contracts unanimously. Supervisors emphasized the economic importance of the airport and thanked staff for securing grant funds and moving the projects toward construction and ribbon-cutting events.
