DISCUSSION
The Merced Yosemite Regional Airport has made substantial progress with the Terminal Replacement Project. City Staff received Categorial Exclusion approval on March 29, 2023, from the FAA. The City of Merced Engineering staff posted the bid for the Terminal on March 30, 2023, and it will close on April 27, 2023. A Pre-Bid meeting was held on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, for contractors interested in submitting a proposal. The meeting was a success in that we had 20 contractors attend the meeting which was not a requirement in the bid process.
Michael Beltran, City Engineer, will be providing updates on the RFP, importance of the Categorial Exclusion, and the bidding process.
