Summary
DATE: September 19, 2023
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Mike Wilson, Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: Award Bid No. 23-44 Terminal Demolition Project at Skylark Field Airport
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The previous airline terminal building at Skylark Field is 44 years old and has been vacant for the past 19 years. Numerous attempts to repurpose the building have failed due, in part, to the size, configuration, and the overall condition of the interior of the building. Recent storm damage has caused a portion of an exterior wall and a portion of the roof to collapse, rendering it uninhabitable and structurally unsafe. The Skylark Field Master Plan, that was approved in October of 2016, calls for the demolition of the terminal building to make way for future aviation related development.
The funding for this project will come from the Aviation Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) fund.
The Terminal Demolition project was advertised on August 6 & 13, 2023. Advertising appeared in the local newspaper as well as the City's website. Additionally, it was advertised on multiple statewide electronic bidding websites.
