As mentioned, these decisions are made based on the scope of the contract, safety requirements of the scope, and the construction industry. The work associated with construction of a runway is primarily gravel hauling and moving and compaction. It was completed through a variety of approaches, including construction management initially, and then through a negotiated contract with Rowe's Construction in the community. The ATP was a smaller contract that required bonding and specialized skills that could not be learned and transferred based on the duration of that contract. During the tendering period, the community was encouraged to partner with the general contractor who has the necessary trades and equipment and bonding capabilities to finance this project during construction.
