Hays City Commissioners will review two bids Thursday night for rehabilitation of the crosswind runway at the Hays Regional Airport.

City staff is recommending the low bid from National Sealant & Concrete, LLC of Oconto, Wisconsin in the amount of $651,672.19, contingent upon Federal Aviation Administration grant funding.

According to Hays Assistant City Manager Paul Briseno, approximately 90 percent of the cost would be reimbursed by the FAA, with the city responsible for the remaining 10 percent.

The base bid and two alternates include removal and replacement of failed pavement panels, repairing spalled joints, repainting the pavement marking and resealing of all the pavement joints on the runway.

All the National Sealant & Concrete bids are below the engineer’s estimates.

In other business, commissioners will discuss an extension of allowable watering hours for newly seeded warm season lawn permits and look at a resolution authorizing the sale of general obligation bonds for completed improvements in the Golden Belt Estates 5th Addition and the 46th Street 2nd Addition.

The City Commission Rules of Procedure will also be reviewed which is done every two years upon the governing body’s reorganization.

The city commission work session starts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 7, in Hays City Hall.
