Background:
The approved Lee’s Summit Municipal airport master plan provides for an ultimate runway length of 5,500 feet. The earthwork to accommodate the new runway length was completed by Emery Sapp and Sons in the summer of 2016. Bids for the runway pavement were received in May 2016, with Emery Sapp and Sons being the low bidder. Award of the construction of the concrete pavement for the 1,500 foot extension of the Runway 18/36 and other incidental work was made in October 2016.
The level of grant funding originally approved is not sufficient to cover the costs associated with Design Engineering to Widen and Extend Runway 18/36. This State Block grant is in the amount of $28,635.00, additional funding for 90% of the cost for design engineering to widen and extend runway 18/36 in association with the runway improvements. An additional 5% of the project cost, $1,591.00, will come from a State Airport Aid Agreement. Local funds for this project are available from the Airport Construction Fund.
