Runway repair bids for the Idaho Falls Regional Airport’s main runway have been handed in. Knife River Corp. submitted the highest bid at $10.9 million, and Western Construction Inc. had the lowest bid at about $8.5 million.

Four construction companies submitted bids in all.

About $2.5 million separates the low bidders from the high bidders.

Boise-based American Ecology Corp. has begun shipping about 6,700 tons of sand containing traces of depleted uranium and lead to a hazardous waste disposal site 70 miles southeast of Boise. Nearly 80 rail cars loaded with contaminated sand from Kuwait are headed toward a dump.
