Title
Approval of a contract with Eagle Airport Marking, Inc. for runway striping at the New Braunfels Regional Airport at a cost of $37,405.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
Runway 17-35 was downgraded to poor condition by the most recent FAA inspection due to degradation of the surface. The runway serves as the primary operating runway for the airport. Runway rehabilitation was identified as a priority in the Airport Master Plan.
Runway 17/35 was a prime candidate for micro-sealing, which was conducted on 22/23/24 June. The micro-seal coating has transformed the entire appearance of the runway to a flat black, unmarked surface. ‘Restriping’ / repainting will be required, as it provides the navaid/reference markings that aviators utilizing the runway require upon takeoff/landing.
Staff obtained three quotes and found Eagle Airport Markings, Inc. to be the best value at a cost of $37,405.
