The project extends Runway 17/35 by an additional 1,000 feet in length and 15 feet in width to accommodate more aircraft operations and a broader fleet mix. Taxiway A is extended an additional 1,000 feet in length for the same purpose.

Performance takes place at Chandler Municipal Airport in Chandler, Oklahoma, with a period of performance from August 7, 2026 through August 6, 2030.
