AIP 3-06-0050-10,IN THE AMOUNT OF$1,000,000
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or his designee, to submit an
Application for a Federal Grant out of the Airport Improvement Program in the amount of
$1,000,000 (90% of the total project).
II. Financial Impact:
The local share of this project in the amount of $111,110 will be funded out of the Airport
Enterprise Fund.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On February 2, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved a preapplication for a Federal Grant in
the for various improvements at Buchanan Field Airport. The grant is currently being finalized
with the Federal Aviation Administration. This grant is for the purpose of purchasing a parcel of
land at the intersection of Marsh Drive and Solano Way between a parcel of land currently
owned by the airport and Highway 4. This parcel is owned by Caltrans and has recently become
available and it is appropriate for the airport to purchase it in order to maintain a high level of
control over the use of this land. This property is currently in the clear zone for Runway 19R.
Also, during airport compliance inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) it was
determined that Buchanan Field Airport does not currently meet the FAA criteria for guide signs
established by AC 150/5340-18C, therefor we need to upgrade our airport signage, as well as
upgrade the electrical service to the vault. This grant also includes interactive training system
for specialized airport training activities.
