The City in close coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is working toward bringing the facility back to its original fully operational status. The City of Kenai released a formal Invitation to Bid on August 1, 2019 for the Rehabilitation of the Alaska Regional Fire Training Center. The renovations have been separated into two different projects. The first rehabilitating items associated with the main building, the second rehabilitating items associated with the fire training props and controls. Each project requires unique specialty contractors, as a result the project was split into two parts being bid individually to provide the most competition. Bids were opened on August 29, 2019 at 2:00pm with Orion Construction the apparent low bidder at $1,938,755.00 for the Building Rehabilitation Project and Kirila Fire USA the apparent low bidder at $1,993,000.00 for the Training Equipment Rehabilitation Project. Funding for these projects is being provided by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant at 93.75% of eligible work; with a City contribution at 6.25%. Ordinance No. 3079-2019 appropriates the funds for these projects. The Public Works Director, Airport Manager and the Administration all agree this work is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.
