Greg Ingham, City Manager presented to consider and take necessary action on Texas
Department of Transportation Airport Project Participation Agreement, TxDOT Project
No. AP HALE 7. Earlier this year, TxDOT Aviation had estimated that the City and
County's local share for the project to reconstruct hangar access taxiway and
reconstruct the northwest apron area at the Hale County /Plainview Airport to be
$69,840, which was well below what had originally been estimated.
The city and county submitted their share of costs for this project. The project was put
out for bid and the final bid for the project was $803,552 which was higher than they had
estimated. This means that the City and County's matching funds will increase since
this project is funded with 90% Federal funds and 10% local funds. The combined local
match will increase to $80,355 which means that the City and County combined owe an
additional $10,515. The City's share of this will be an additional $5,257.50. This is in
the budget. The City's total investment in this $803,552 project will be just a little more
than $40,000.
Mayor Anderson asked for public comment. There was no public comment.
