Resolution to Request Bids for Airport Taxiway A/D/E Reconstruction and Enhanced Taxiway Markings.

Adoption of the attached resolution.

The intersection between Taxiway A, Taxiway D, and Taxiway E currently exists as a three-way intersection with nonstandard angles. Additionally, the taxiway pavements are approaching the end of their design life. The taxiway intersection is to be reconstructed and realigned to provide two standard taxiway intersections with 90-degree angles providing enhanced pilot situational awareness and conforming with modern FAA standards.

Enhanced taxiway centerline marking consists of a parallel line of yellow dashes on either side of the normal taxiway centerline. The taxiway centerlines are enhanced for a maximum of 150 feet prior to a runway holding position marking. The purpose of this enhancement is to warn the pilot that they are approaching a runway holding position and should prepare to stop unless cleared to cross the runway by air traffic control. For airports operating airport traffic control towers and airports certified under 14 CFR Part 139, implementation of the necessary changes is required.

The 2026 Airport Capital Improvement Project (CIP) includes these projects:

• Taxiway A/D/E Intersection Reconstruction Project Cost $1,500,000 Local Share $37,500
• Enhanced Taxiway Markings Project Cost $83,000 Local Share $2,075

These projects align with the Strategic Plan Goal 2: Sustainable Infrastructure and Goal 5: Economy.
