SUBJECT: Award Bid No. 24-31 Taxiway E Relocation at Killeen Regional Airport

A portion of Taxiway E at the Killeen Regional Airport needs rehabilitation. However, due to changes in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) taxiway design standards, any rehabilitation to this taxiway requires relocation.
The City applied for and received an FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant for the design phase of this project. The project design is complete, and bids have been received. The construction phase of this project will be funded through a combination of funding from the FAA AIP, FAA Discretionary funds, a Community Project Funding grant supported by Congressman Pfluger and the match will come from the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Fund.
Advertising began on May 12, 2024, and appeared in the local newspaper as well as the City's website. Additionally, it was advertised on multiple statewide electronic bidding sites. A pre-bid meeting was held on May 21, 2024 with five (5) general contractors and two (2) sub-contractors attending.
