Subject: Airport /mprovement Projects
In September 2007, the Airport Manager, City Engineer, and Wince-Corthell- Bryson
met with the FAA to identify several improvements that were felt to be incidental and
eligible for funding through the existing Runway Safety Grants. These grants have an
additional 15% available in contingency dollars for such projects and construction
overruns. Projects identified as "safety, lighting, and pavement rehab" could be funded
with contingency dollars.
The FAA agreed to fund the improvements (see attached) and several improvements
proceeded to change order's that have been completed.
Contingency dollars are still available and the airport would Tike to proceed with these
improvements:
General Aviation Lighting -Engineer's estimate $450,000
DrainagelGrading -Engineer's estimate $150,000
"This project was included in an RFP to the prime contractor but was
dropped due to excessive mark up. The FAA indicated a standalone
project could be approved subject to available funding.
The taxiway lighting in the general aviation area is a continual
maintenance problem. Some of this light system is up to 40 years old; the
regulator is over 28 years old. The drainage in this same area is very poor
due to sand buildup and drainage deficiencies in the taxiway safety areas.
The sand buildup contributes to standing water on the light system which
eventually gets into the Tight cans causing outages. An outage takes out
all taxiway lights in the general aviation area and a portion of main taxiway
foxtrot. Troubleshooting and repair takes several days.
This project will be setup with the lighting as the basic bid and the
drainage/grading as an additive alternate.
This project is approved for 95% FAA reimbursement (see attached).
2. Obstruction Clearing -Engineer's estimate $50,000
Recent mapping during the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) process identified
tree obstructions in the approach and departure paths.
These obstructions into the airspace can impact approach minimums and
departure procedures and could affect airport operations particularly
during the winter. Wince-Corthell-Bryson has prepared scaled details for
the FAA and requested advice on what impacts may occur. The Migratory
Bird Act requires that any necessary clearing be completed by May 15~ or
after July 15.
This project is approved for 95% FAA reimbursement (see attached).
I recommend these improvements and appropriating funds from the Airport Fund to the
Runway Improvement Capital Project Fund.
The City submits monthly reimbursement requests to the FAA for the initial grant
monies (95%) and payment is received in 30 days or less. Contingency funded projects
however are funded up front by the City and reimbursed to the City when the grant is
closed out. These projects are anticipated to be bid in February 2009 with construction
over the summer and the grant closed out in September of 2009. The FAA will amend
the grant up to 15% for the additional improvements and the City will receive
reimbursement from the contingency fund. The State will also amend their matching
grant upon receipt of the closeout documents and payment will follow.
The Airport and City staff and Project Engineer are closely monitoring project costs to
ensure we do not exceed the 15% contingency limitations.
