JmstnAirport2Jamestown (CSi) Plans have been approved by the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority along with specifications for an eight-bay T-hangar building and a crack sealing and repainting project on the asphalt at the airport.

Meeting in Special Session Tuesday, board members voted unanimously to approve the plans from Interstate Engineering, Project Manager Steve Aldinger.

He says bids will be advertised for both projects on Friday. A pre-bid meeting will be held April 23rd with the bids opened and contracts awarded on May 2.

One pilot is interested in renting a bay at the hangar.

The completion date is tentatively scheduled for December 1, 2014,with a $900-a-day penalty assessed to the contractor for going past the completion date.

Mechanical work won’t be necessary as the hangar will not be heated, and the hangar does not need to be equipped for fire suppression after further review of the fire code.
