NEW BUSINESS
The only business on the agenda was the airport terminal
building project. Brian McManus reviewed the progress of the terminal building
project.
Three design build proposals were received for the
proposed building. Proposals were received from Three Rivers Construction,
Pumford Construction Gerace Construction Company. A review committee of seven
selected Gerace Construction as the most favorable contractor. Gerace submitted
conceptual building elevations (Options A, B, C) and a conceptual plan drawing.
Gerace
briefly discussed the design build process.
The
commission discussed the Gerace proposal and listened to public comments
supporting the project. Dot Hornsby suggested that the commission be sure to
keep the Jack Barstow displays in the new building and to make sure that the
building is up to date technically. In addition Dot had some suggestions for
the proposed meeting room.
Commissioner
Smith indicated that he liked the Concept “A” exterior the best and made a
motion that the terminal building project be advanced using Gerace Construction
with preference towards Concept A exterior look. Lind supported the emotion and it passed 3/0.
Commissioners
Lind and Pollack added that with the design build process the final view will
be worked out and to keep in mind that it is only a concept at this time.
Pollack
added that the steering committee should consider time in their schedule to
inform the full commission of the project progress and at certain important
milestones as determined by the steering committee cal a special commission
meeting if necessary.
Meeting
adjourned at 5:45 pm.
