Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement Amendment

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has indicated a pre-RFP signal regarding an Airport Infrastructure Grant Agreement Amendment. This opportunity arises from the Fulton City Council's recent discussions about securing grant funding for airfield improvements. During a city council meeting on August 25, 2026, officials highlighted the urgency of an upcoming grant deadline that could provide approximately $137,000 for airfield pavement maintenance and drainage improvements at Elton Hensley Memorial Airport. The city is required to match a small portion of this funding, amounting to $1,397. This funding is deemed critical for maintaining airport infrastructure, and the council's swift action reflects the need for related services that will likely be solicited in the near future. An excerpt from the meeting captures this urgency: “we go into this, sir? Um I would just note that we were recently made aware of a grant deadline um which unfortunately 24:39 is going to occur prior to our next meeting. So the city of Fulton tries not to have any um emergency ordinances unless they're really really needed and we can justify the reasoning behind it. 24:50 Uh but the city has an opportunity to get approximately $137,000 in grant funding while our portion that we pay out is approximately $1,397. 25:00 So really important funding for our airport and uh we wish we could have known about this a little earlier otherwise it wo nt funding while our portion that we pay out is approximately $1,397. 25:00 So really important funding for our airport and uh we wish we could have known.” Agency: Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Signal type: pre_rfp Sentinel confidence: 100/100 Independent mentions: 1 Meeting date: August 25, 2026 / jurisdiction: Fulton AL Vendors interested in this opportunity should monitor for the forthcoming formal RFP, RFQ, or related solicitation as the city prepares to act on this funding.
