Runway 21 Extension Contractor and Potential Bidder Workshop
The Charlottesville Albemarle Airport Authority will be holding a public information workshop for contractors and potential bidders on Tuesday, April 27, 2010. The meeting will take place in the Administrative Conference Room on the second floor of the main terminal building. Those interested in attending should park in the airport's short term parking lot and meet in the main terminal building atrium where escorts will be available as this meeting will take place inside the secure area.
This meeting will provide interested construction contractors with preliminary design information and an opportunity, in an open forum, to discuss project phasing, related construction constraints, and proposed earthwork sequencing.
The runway extension is a multi-year construction program, to be completed through multiple bid packages with State and FAA funding. The overall program consists of 2 million cubic yards of embankment, 30,000 square yards of airfield pavement, storm drainage, lighting & signage.
The next upcoming bid package (Phase 1B) is scheduled to bid in June 2010, and will consist of approximately 600,000 cubic yards of embankment, 45 acres of clearing & grubbing, several closed storm drainage systems, and four stormwater management facilities.
Both the overall program and the upcoming bid package will be discussed at this workshop.
Contractors and suppliers are encouraged to attend the meeting to become familiar with the project scope, schedule, and sequencing; provide general comments on the design and materials; and ask questions about the project.
