New Terminal bid opening.


 SIX RESPONSES RECEIVED

Today at city hall, six contractors submitted bids for construction of a new 4K square foot passenger terminal at the city's Sonny Callahan airport on CR 32.

All were more than the $2 million federal grant approved for the project earlier this year; the grant will pay for 95% of site development and 76% of construction cost, according to documentation.

The bids ranged from about $2.25 million on the low end, to about $3.1 million on the high end; the Airport Authority's consultant on the project, Jordan Stringfellow of Volkert Engineeering, will now evaluate the bids for compliance with project specifications, then make a recommendation to the Authority.

Companies submitting bids were: Crucible Construction, J.T. Harrison Construction, Rolin Construction, S.C. Stagner Contracting, Thomas Industries, and White-Spunner Construction.

And this benefits the taxpayer in what way?

A study done two years ago estimated the yearly economic impact of the airport at $30 million locally: see http://thefairhopetimes.blogspot.com/2021/02/new-study-finds-airport-has-big.html

Seems a waste if only the rich use the airport

Why would it be a waste if only the rich used it and paid all the fees that raised new revenue to redistribute to those unwilling to work?

Since economics is a zero sum game (we have exactly the same exact wealth today as we did in 1776) and every dollar the rich have must have come from the IPOC community and women (whatever that is), shouldn't we let the rich pay their fair share?

Gee whiz. Class envy and socialism just ain't what they used to be.

Most people would want to fly into Gulf Shores, not Fairhope. Waste of money, shut it down.
