During the Aug. 1 meeting of the Taylor Town Council, Town Manager Gus Lundberg presented the council with the decision to award the contract for the Airport Fencing Project to Show Low Construction. The Airport Fencing Project will extend fencing around the Taylor Municipal Airport in addition to increasing parking space.

“After looking at it, the bids came in, the low bidder was Show Low Construction. The low bid was $462,954 to do the completion of the fencing as well as the reconstruction improvements to the parking area there. That puts us about $58,000 over what’s available to us in those federal funds. So, what I’m recommending tonight is that you award the contract, schedules one and two, to Show Low Construction with the stipulation that we will not proceed with schedule two if we don’t have a fully funded federal grant,” resolved Lundberg. The notion was approved unanimously on the stipulation that parking space will not be expanded if additional funds do not become available for the completion of the project.
