As of June 30, 2023 the project has not been awarded yet. As of 1/30/2023 all bids rejected over-budget. TDOT Aeronautics Division (TAD) Project No. 75-555-0772-22 ATKINS Project No. 100077112 The project involves reconstruction of the majority of the airport's 5,546 feet by 100 feet secondary runway, Runway 1-19, excluding only the area within the safety area of the airport's intersecting primary runway, Runway 14-32. Also included is the regrading of the Runway 1-19 safety area measuring 7,746 feet by 400 feet. Reconstruction of the pavement will include removal of 25-foot shoulder pavement along each side of the runway and reconstruction of the runways existing flexible and composite pavement sections with a new cement-stabilized, reclaimed base and asphalt mix pavement surface. Pavement reconstruction will include nearly 2,000 tons of cement for stabilization of the base, and over 13,000 tons of asphalt mix pavement surface material. Safety area improvements will steepen the transverse slopes away from the runway pavement and placement of this material in the extended safety areas beyond each runway end, requiring approximately 70,000 cubic yards of excavation to on-site embankments, over 40,000 cubic yards of topsoil stripping and spreading, adjustments to, and addition of storm drainage inlet structures along the airport's storm drainage collection system, relocation of 900 feet of two-lane airport service road, 1,670 feet of 14-foot-wide airport perimeter road, and 1,600 feet of 8-foot-wide golf course cart path. Airfield lighting improvements include replacement of the runway's medium intensity runway edge lighting circuit with 49 edge lights and 16 threshold lights, two lighted supplemental wind cones, new runway end identifier lights at each runway end, and 23 lighted airfield signs. Along with re-routing portions of circuits for four other lighting circuits on the airfield, a total of approximately 24,500 linear feet of direct buried duct will be installed with bare copper counterpoise wire and approximately 38,000 linear feet of airfield lighting cable will be installed. Other miscellaneous project elements include 670 feet of relocated underground single-phase primary power line, over 1,500 linear feet of golf course irrigation system modifications, over 83,000 square feet of airfield pavement markings, over 1,600 linear feet of perimeter security fence, and extensive erosion prevention and sediment control measures over the 93-acre site, with over 24,000 square yards of sod placement, and 74 acres of other disturbed area to receive temporary and permanent turf stabilization.
