Airport authority extends time for completion of safety project
DUNBAR TWP. – The Fayette County Airport Authority approved a combination of change orders that will give contractors several extra weeks to complete the runway safety project at the Joseph A. Hardy – Connellsville Airport and slightly reduce the cost of the plan. In April the authority approved nearly $500,000 in five separate change orders for runway and related work.
This evening, the board adopted a final change order that decreased the overall cost of the project by about $5,000 and also will allow crews until July 12 to complete projects associated with the safety measures.
The nearly $3.6 million project includes the establishment of a dirt runway about 150 feet wide and 300 feet long at the end of the paved runway for additional safety at the airport.
