  • Nephi seeks grant to complete sealing project at airport

Nephi City needed more money to finish the crack sealing project at the city airport and so the city council had to seek a supplemental grant.

"The grant was sought and received from the Utah Division of Aeronautics," said Randy McKnight, city administrator.

The extra funding was needed, he said, because the crack sealing portion of the maintenance work was more extensive than anticipated. Because of this, the extra grant money was requested and had been approved.

"The work was done by Creamer and Noble Engineers," said McKnight.

Because of the more extensive work needed to finish the crack and seal job at the airport, said McKnight, the city council would need to approve an amendment to the contract for their services.

"The amendment is required to cover the additional work done on the runway," he said.

Council members complied and approved the amendment.
