M.L. brought to the Board's attention the bids received for the
metal T-hangar buildings(8 nested) at the Fairhope Municipal Airport
he had written a letter of recommendation on Pascoe Bldg Systems
the apparent low bidder with a total bid of $48,132.00. He explained
to the board why he felt that bid should be accepted. The board
on motion by Jim Gaston, seconded by Jeanette Puckett approved
M. L.'s recommendation to go with Pascoe and will recommend this
to City Council. The Board talked about next steps to take. The
building itself, containing the 8 nested T-hangars, would be 52' x 1921.
M.L. to check out see if we would be better off getting a contractor
to handle the slab and erection and do it or do it ourselves.
The Board talked about the airport runway and what it would take to
complete it. M.L. discussed Newell's request for a final inspection.
M.L. pointed out that a final inspection was normally done when the
project was complete, and it is not. The Board agreed with him. M.L.
will write a letter to Mr. Newell stating the situation. M.L. further
pointed out that the specifications provide that a final inspection will
be made on completion of a punch list.
Mason asked M.L. if he had worked anything out on the mowing/
maintenance contract and he said no. He hadn't had time to work
on it. Mason said it needed mowing now he would make arrangements
to mow it. This brought up problem we have had in the past on the
runway lights. Russell suggested possibly putting some clam shells
around each light to prevent them from getting to close to the lights
5' all the way around. Mason suggested as an alternative putting
some steel pipes and herbicide. It was suggested at a cost of approxi-
mately $1500.00.
M.L. presented to the Board a bill for services over and above his
fee on the project for extra work he had done $10,013.89. Riviera
Utilities had done the work moving the lines as requested and their
bill for $5900.00 was now due to be paid. Russ moved that both
these bills be paid when funds available. Buzz Coiling seconded
and motion carried unanimously.
The Board discussed going out on bids for the erection of the building
and Russell moved to authorize the Chairman and M.L. to do whatever
necessary to go out on bids for the erection of the building. Buzz
Coiling seconded and motion carried unanimously.
