The City of Palatka is planning improvements at the Palatka Municipal Airport. This project involves constructing a new transient aircraft parking apron, including site preparation, excavation, subgrade stabilization, limerock base course, asphalt paving, and pavement markings. The project also includes installing storm sewer systems, inlets, endwalls, and decorative security fencing and gates. Additionally, there will be work on potable water service, sanitary sewer service, and site electrical service. The project is currently in the construction contract award phase, with Ahrens Companies identified as the low bidder. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final bid settlements and permit finalization. Work is expected to begin within 5 to 10 days of a Notice to Proceed and will take approximately 270 days to complete. This project will require a wide range of services including site clearing and grading, underground utility work, paving, electrical, and potentially specialized airport construction trades.
