Included in the Airport's Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2017 is the Concrete Joint Repair for the Aircraft Parking Ramp Project.  This project will focus on a section of the aircraft parking ramp that was installed in 1959, and is the oldest piece of concrete on the airfield. There is approximately 8,000 LF. of concrete joints in this particular section of concrete ramp that should be repaired to prevent water, snow, and debris from accumulating in these joints.  Moisture can be extremely problematic, especially in the winter when freezing can cause the slab to crack, deteriorate, and lift, becoming a hazard to the aircraft operating in this area, as well as being expensive to repair.  This project will saw-cut and remove all of the existing joint seal material from the existing joints, then reinstall new ethafoam backing material and silicone joint sealant.

This project was advertised in The Billings Times on April 27 and May 4, and was also posted on the City's Website.  On May 9, 2017, the following bids were received:
