Runway 13R Rehabilitation, Package 5 (formerly Runway 12R Rehabilitation)
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance will approve a construction change order in the amount of $897,281.80 to increase the contract value to $5,265,960.95 for Runway 13R Rehabilitation, Package 5 (formerly Runway 12R Rehabilitation), a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) project, to modify quantities and materials so SpawGlass Civil Construction, Inc.
