The 1993 Oshkosh Multipurpose unit has exceeded its useful life, and repairs again are extensive and costly. This unit was scheduled in the Airport Capital Improvement Plan for replacement in FY22; however, it is down and out of service. We are electing to move forward as soon as possible for replacement due to the 300 day build time on this unit. The Airport is down to one snow blower. The FAA is in full support of the adding of this pop-up project to the FY21 program and provided direction to move forward with an Invitation to Bid. The timeline for submitting FY21 grant applications is May 3, 2021. Thank you for your consideration.
