WINTERSVILLE The project to resurface the taxiway at the Geary A. Bates Jefferson County Airpark is one step closer to pavement going down.
Monday, at the monthly meeting of the Jefferson County Airport Authority Board of Directors, bids were received from three potential contractors interested in completing the work.
The bids, all from companies located in Ohio, ranged from $2,680,091 to $2,897,802. Rayland’s Shelly and Sands had the low bid.
All three bids were forwarded to the board’s engineering consultant firm, Michael Baker International, who did the design grant applications for the project.
After the bids were opened, a representative from Michael Baker informed the board the engineer’s estimate for the work was a little more than $3.3 million, so all three bidders came in under the estimate.
