The Airport's approved Capital Improvement Program includes painting the Terminal Building Concourses A and B. The concourse walls have not been painted since 2001.  Being in a heavy traffic facility, the existing multicolored paint has become difficult to maintain and the constant cleaning has deteriorated the surface causing the colors to fade in some areas. This project includes wall patching and repair, the application of an "orange peel" texture, priming, and the application of a single colored paint.  The project work will be completed during the weekends when the Terminal Building is empty due to the Runway 10L/28R Paving Project in July and August.   This project was advertised in the Billings Times on May 23, 30, and June 6, and posted on the City's Web site.  In spite of the advertising effort, the City received one bid:

CONTRACTOR                            BID
High Roller Painting                     $86,855

The City Council may:

• Award a contract for painting the Terminal Building Concourses to High Roller Painting; or
• Reject the bid and delay the project.

The total cost of painting of the Terminal Building Concourses is $86,855. Sufficient funds are available in the Airport's Capital Improvement fund.

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the low bid for painting the Terminal Building Concourses from High Roller Painting, for the amount of $86,855.
