THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The board will approve a construction contract for Taxiway A Reconstruction Phase 7 and Midfield Ramp Repair Phase 4 at Duluth International Airport. Shafer Contracting Co., Inc. is set to receive $10.6 million for the base bid and up to $3.66 million for an alternate, contingent on more funding. This confirms the primary airfield paving vendor but opens follow-on needs for materials, testing, safety, logistics, and future phases.
Bid alternate work depends on additional funding, likely from FAA or other aviation grants.
