MEMO
To: Airport Commission
From: Mary Bondurant – Interim Airport Manager
Date: October 5, 2023
Subject: Discussion/Recommendation – Revised Fiscal Years 2024-2026 Capital
Improvement Plan
The FAA is requesting the City to review the Airport capital projects for fiscal years
2024-2026 by the end of October. They are in the final stages of developing their plan
and are soliciting any last updates from the City.
Submission requirements are the City’s intentions for the program type (BIL, AIP, etc.),
prioritized project list broke down by fiscal year, total project estimate, breakout of
proposed funding sources, and capital improvement program data sheets (CIPDS).
CIPDS must include: breakout of major work element costs, thorough description of
project scope, adequate documentation of eligibility and justification, and a descriptive
sketch or marked up aerial image identifying the scope of work, location, and physical
boundary of the project elements. Pavement projects should include the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI).
This is the final opportunity to adjust the FY24 AIP program without need for special
justifications. The Airport has made one change to the FY24 program with the addition
of the boiler replacement project at the Operations Building. The FAA was notified of
the project in August and received approval to include this project in the FY24 program
in September.
The FAA will let us know which projects they anticipating being able to support
contingent on such factors as fund availability, favorable environmental findings, and
timely grant application submission.
Does Commission recommend Council approval of the Airport’s Fiscal year 2024-
2026 Capital Improvement Program?
