Description
The City of Houston – Houston Airport System awarded a single‑prime construction contract to demolish Runway 17‑35 at William P. Hobby Airport, including removal of pavement, lighting, signage, and associated utilities, and site restoration. The work is governed by FAA specifications, includes a 23 % DBE participation goal, and requires extensive environmental, safety, and quality‑control programs. The contract is structured as a unit‑price bid with fixed cash allowances and several optional alternates, and the contractor must provide performance, payment, and maintenance bonds equal to 100 % of the contract price. The award value was $7.23 million and the project schedule calls for roughly 234 calendar days of construction once a Notice to Proceed is issued.
