Taxiway B Extension at the Yates County Airport

The Yates County Airport is seeking bids for the construction of a approximately 1800 ft long x 25 ft wide taxiway extension for Taxiway B. The project tasks include placement of embankment material, aggregate base course material, and bituminous asphalt surface course pavement. Additionally, the project will include new retroreflective taxiway edge markers, retroreflective guidance signs, pavement markings, and drainage improvements such as dry swales, pipe, and an underdrain system. The project will be executed in two phases, with Phase 1 commencing in Fall 2024 and Phase 2 in Spring 2025. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 pm local time on March 20, 2024, and a pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 28, 2024. The contract is expected to be awarded following the receipt of an FAA grant offer, which is anticipated no earlier than September 2024.

The contract has a Disadvantaged Owned Sub-Contracting Goal of 9.3%, but there are no Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Set Aside requirements. Yates County has not awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years. The project is funded by an FAA grant, and the county reserves the right to waive any informality in the proposal and to reject any and all proposals. The successful bidder must be prepared to hold bid prices as late as July 2025, weather dependent.
