BACKGROUND:
The City owned a set of ten T-Hangars that were built in the late 1970s. In May of 2015,
the Airport was hit by a severe hailstorm that damaged the roof. Then, in July of 2016,
the T-Hangars were struck by the wing of a DC-10 that severely damaged the
northernmost hangar unit. Insurance funds have been received and used to seed a
project to construct new hangars. The damaged hangars were disassembled and
donated to Otero County for use at Fowler Airport. The 2022 Airport Master Plan
identified the need to construct new general aviation hangars and rehabilitate
deteriorating and potentially unsafe taxilane infrastructure at the Pueblo Memorial
Airport. The FAA has awarded a grant from the Bi-partisan Infrastructure Legislation
(BIL) funds to reimburse 95% of project costs. The City of Pueblo solicited bids for Project
No. 25-020 PUB Taxilane Rehab and New Hangar construction. H.W. Houston
Construction, LLC, was the lowest of those bids determined to be responsive.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $2,372,832.16 will be paid from Project No. AP1804-South T-
Hangar #1.
