This week city council met on Monday, March 1. The council voted unanimously to award J-U-B Engineers Incorporated a five-year contract for miscellaneous engineering and planning services for the Fallon Municipal Airport.
Based in Reno, J-U-B Engineers Incorporated was one of five firms who applied for the contract. The selection committee consisted of Legal and Administrative Director Erquiaga, City Engineer Derek Zimney, and City Clerk Sean Richardson.
The engineering firm assists with projects like replacing runway lights and wind cones, reconstructing taxi lanes, and relocating Taxiway G. J-U-B Engineers Incorporated worked on previous Airport projects in Austin, Yerington, and Battle Mountain.
Mike Wilhem, and David Meyer, two representatives of J-U-B Engineers Incorporated, attended the Council meeting.
Councilwoman Karla Kent asked if the firm’s prices were similar to those of Atkins Construction, which have been the contract recipient in the past but did not apply this year. Erquiaga said the contract was actually a little less. He also mentioned that the contract with the engineering firm would be for general inquiry projects, like listed above, and not for capital improvements.
Councilwoman Kelly Frost moved to approve the selection of J-U-B Engineers Incorporated as the recipients of the give-year contract. Councilwoman Kent seconded the motion, and the vote carried. Mayor Tedford thanked Wilhem and Meyer for attending the council meeting.
There was no other staff or council reports and no executive session this week.
