Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority Seeking Bids
information released by CDRPA
The Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority will be seeking bids on February 24, 2022 for the Pangborn Memorial Airport Taxiway A Realignment project. The project will be constructed in phases over the next two years. This project will realign and reconstruct 5,000 feet of the parallel taxiway, along with 2,000 feet of connecting taxiways. Taxiway A is currently 50 feet wide, while FAA design standards require a full-strength pavement width of at least 75 feet for the design aircraft, the Bombardier DH8 Q400 (Q400), operated by Alaska Airlines. Much of the pavement within the project limits is deteriorating due to age and loading.
The work will involve clearing and grubbing, grading, pavement removal and replacement, edge lighting, utility and storm drainage improvements, airfield signage, and pavement markings. The current engineer’s estimate, provided by TO Engineers, is $17.6 million. The Airport has applied for FAA grant funds which will fund 90% of the project, and if successful, work will begin in August 2022 and be completed in 2023.
