THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Eland Conway, Airport Manager
DATE: June 30, 2022
SUBJECT: ENA Runway Rehabilitation Project – Non-Federal Reimbursable
Agreement with FAA ATO
This purpose of this memo is to request authorization to enter into an agreement with the FAA Air
Traffic Organization (ATO) for project support for Medium Intensity Approach Light System with
Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR) and any other impacts associated with the ENA
Runway Rehabilitation Project.
The ATO is responsible for providing safe and efficient air navigation services including the FAA
owned and operated navigational aids at ENA.
As it relates to their facilities, the FAA will provide preliminary planning activities, which may
include, but are not limited to technical consultation, engineering, design review, site visits,
feasibility assessments, project planning, scope definition, development of costs estimate(s),
development of design packages, travel in support of the reimbursable agreement program
management, and procurement of long lead items, if required. The FAA will also provide any
requirements and/or recommendations related to the FAA facilities impacted by the project.
The proximity of the project to the FAA facilities, the supplemental services provided by the FAA,
the additional assurances, and mitigation measures in the agreement will increase the success
of the project.
The agreement requires advance payment, $74,722.33, before any FAA services are provided
and any remaining balance at the end of the project will be refunded. The costs associated with
this agreement, estimated, are eligible for grant funding (reimbursable) under the Airport
Improvement Program at 93.75%.
Council’s support is respectfully requested.
