THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
DAA is awarding Shafer Contracting a unit‑price contract of $10,620,910 for Taxiway A Phase 7 and Midfield Ramp Phase 4, with a potential increase to $14,281,682 if alternate work is funded by FAA and Air National Guard. Construction is scheduled to start May 17, 2027 with about 85 days for base work and 30 more days for alternates, plus 80 days for ramp work. The award locks in the civil contractor, but leaves room for suppliers, subs, testing labs, and technology providers to support execution, phasing, and airfield operations.
FAA‑eligible portions funded 95% FAA, 2.5% MnDOT, 2.5% DAA; ineligible taxiway portions funded by Minnesota Air National Guard; Midfield Ramp Phase 4 funded 70% by MnDOT Aeronautics. Liquidated damages and runway closure penalties included.
