PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

Billings Logan International Airport has two buildings, a house located at 1001 Rimtop Drive and a small metal building located at 1391 Rimtop Drive that need to be demolished for safety and development reasons. The house has been vacant for several years and over the last few years, has been broken into and vandalized to the extent that it can no longer be used and is a hazard for the Airport. This house will be removed and the site returned to a natural state. The small metal building located  in the Airport Business Park was originally part of the Air Force Fighter Interceptor Base built in 1965. The building has also been vacant for several years and the area is going to be developed as the site for a new storage facility for the BLM.  The call for bids for this demolition project was advertised in the Yellowstone County News on November 24, December 1 and 8, 2017.  Bids were opened on December 12, 2017. Please see the December 15, 2017 Friday packet for contractor bid information and recommendation for award.
