ADA-71419 Proposal to Extend a State Airport Land Lease at Clear Airport

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities is seeking public comment on a proposal to extend the lease (ADA‑71419) for approximately 10,000 sq ft of land at Clear Airport for an additional five years. The lease, currently held by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources – Division of Forestry, will support non‑aeronautical uses such as a fire‑guard station, equipment storage, and a seasonal emergency‑fuel cache. Annual rent is modest at $1,690, and the extension does not require competitive bidding. Interested parties may submit written comments by the deadline. • Lease ID: ADA‑71419 (Lot 1, Block 2) • Location: Clear Airport, Northern Region, Alaska • Extension term: 5 years (total lease period extended) • Authorized uses: fire‑guard station, equipment storage, emergency‑fuel cache (non‑aeronautical) • Annual rent: $1,690; total estimated revenue $8,450 over 5 years • Comment deadline: 4:30 p.m., 01 Oct 2026 • Primary contact: Johnna Merculief, Aviation Leasing, (907) 451‑2849
