Body
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Award Bid No. 26-02 Original Airline Terminal Demolition Project at Skylark Field Airport
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The original airline terminal building at Skylark Field is approximately 65 years old and has been mostly vacant for about 48 years. The building has long surpassed its useful life, and due to its overall condition, can no longer be safely occupied.
The Skylark Field Master Plan, that was approved in October 2016, calls for the demolition of the building to make way for future aviation related development. Demolition of the building would allow the Aviation department to pursue development of the existing land on and around the building.
The funding for this project will come from the Aviation Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) fund.
The Terminal Demolition project was advertised on October 26 & November 02, 2025. Advertising appeared in the local newspaper as well as the City’s website. Additionally, it was advertised in multiple statewide electronic bidding sites.
Bids were opened on November 20, 2025, and the City of Killeen received seven bids as follows:
