Vote “yes” thus awarding a contract to JAR Concrete for the Runway Rehabilitation in the amount of $9,045, and accepting three grants, two from FAA and one from NMDOT-AD, which will fund this project.
Vote “no” on the Resolution and do not award the contract or accept the grants. This would significantly delay the Runway Rehabilitation and may even cause the city to lose the project.
Amend or postpone consideration of the Resolution and direct staff to modify its provisions. However, any postponement will cause the City to miss the contract award deadline and lose the project.
