FBT Client Completes Stimulus Project Ahead of Schedule
The Harper Company successfully performed work on what is believed to be the first project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“AARA”) to be completed in the nation. Harper reconstructed a runway at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in 43 days, 19 days ahead of schedule and below budget. Harper removed existing asphalt pavement and placed 10” thick P-501 concrete pavement on existing sub-base. The project was advertised for bids on April 6, 2009 and construction was completed and the runway was reopened on June 19, 2009. The project was estimated to cost $4.3 million. Harper submitted its winning bid at $3.4 million.
