City Set to Pass Over Local Engineers for Airport Expansion
SAN ANGELO, TX The City will place its final stamp of approval on a 5-year contract for on-call services with an engineering firm to usher in millions in airport projects Tuesday, March 16. The firm pending final selection is not located in San Angelo even though there were two San Angelo firms and two additional Texas companies that lost in the selection process. City Council should be asking why?
A secret committee of five unrevealed people (unrevealed in the City Council information packet anyway) along with San Angelo Airport Manager Jeremy Valgardson selected an engineering firm based in Colorado to oversee millions in airport projects for the next half decade. One of the members of the selection committee doesn’t live in the state of Texas, we’re told but could not confirm. The Airport Advisory Board, made up of members appointed by the City Council, rubber-stamped the selection.
