KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — Completed just last year, a runway project at Klamath Falls Airport must be revisited.
City Manager Rick Whitlock says the aggregate rock used as a base for the pavement has been showing through and creating “pockmarks” in the runway surface.
Whitlock says the city is negotiating with Kerr Contractors to resolve the issue. A proposed fix would grind off the top layer of pavement and replace it with a more durable surface.
The Woodburn-based construction company won the runway project with a $16.6 million bid — much lower than the $24 million estimate provided by engineers.
