Included in the Airport's Capital Improvement Program is the Miscellaneous Curb and Sidewalk Improvements Project. This project will repair or replace damaged sections of the 25-year-old sidewalk and curbs along the Terminal loop road and in front of the Terminal Building. Sections of the curbs have been damaged by snow removal equipment and the sidewalks have cracked as they settled over the years. This project will repair or replace the damaged curbs and sidewalk sections to provide safe access to the Airport Terminal. This project was advertised in the Yellowstone County News on August 25 and September 1 and 8, and posted on the City's Website. On September 12,  the following bids were received:
