WGJ Has Previous Experience With Such Projects Including With John Wayne Airport
By Zach Armstrong
WGJ Enterprises Inc. could be awarded a $1,044,280 contract to improve Santa Monica Aiport’s runway by removing the rubber build-up from the runway, restriping all existing airside markings, replacing the existing joint sealant, if necessary, and updating pavement markings within the helipad area.
WGJ was the only bid received by the city, according to an agenda item. The company has previous experience with such projects including a $4.2 million contract for rubber removal and striping with John Wayne Airport in Orange County.
If approved, construction would take around 21 days to complete; five of which would lead to full runway closures at night. The other 16 days would be used to complete construction outside the runway area. Informational meetings to minimize construction impacts would be held 30 days prior to construction, including outreach efforts with airport tenants, aviation organizations and the Airport Commission.
