Body
DATE: March 18, 2025
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Hangar Roof Rehabilitation Project at Skylark Field Airport
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen owns and maintains various aircraft hangars at Skylark Field Airport. These hangars are currently leased and occupied by tenants that generate revenue for the airport.
Over the last few years, the hangar roof at 2601 Stonetree Drive has developed numerous issues, and despite frequent repairs by staff, the roof has continued to deteriorate. It has reached a point where it can no longer be effectively repaired and has become a safety hazard to the tenants and the aircraft stored in them. This project consists of a full roof rehabilitation, which is approximately 35 years old.
Staff solicited three businesses that participate in the City’s Approved cooperative purchasing programs:
LD Tebben, PAX Services Company $ 98,150.00
Harrison Roofing Co., Inc. $ 98,164.70
Roof Connect National Roofing Services $ 132,771.00
After reviewing the solicited quotes, staff recommends LD Tebben, PAX Services Company as the preferred choice, due to their competitive pricing and the overall value they offer. Based on the evaluation, it is staff’s recommendation to award the contract to LD Tebben, PAX Services Company, through the TIPS contract #21060301 in the amount of $98,150.00.
This project qualifies for reimbursement with Texas Department of Transportation’s Routine Airport Maintenance Program (RAMP) and will receive a 90% reimbursement of the total cost.
