Bids for the Vernal Municipal Airport east west cross wind runway came in 21 percent above the engineer’s estimate. Only two bidders, Schocker Construction and Rick Jensen Construction, submitted offers, with bids of 601 636 and 755 146 dollars respectively, while the low bid was deemed unaffordable within a 900 000 dollar budget. FAA and state funds cover most of the cost, prompting possible lighting reductions to fit funding.
