THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Crete is moving forward with construction of a new airport box hangar after the original low bidder, Casper, withdrew and forfeited its bid bond. The city will now contract with second-lowest bidder BD Construction on what remains a 95-5 FAA/state-funded project, with total cost reduced about 5% due to the $56,000 bond forfeiture. This confirms BD as the prime builder and signals follow-on needs such as specialty trades, equipment, and future hangar or airport upgrades.
Project is structured as a 95-5 FAA/state cost-share; Casper will not rebid after bid error and fire code wall redesign requirement.
