Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration Grant Funding for Airfield Pavement Reconstruction
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the County General Fund. The total project amount will be
approximately $2,631,579.00. Approximately 95% or $2,500,000.00 will be from the FAA,
approximately 2.37% or $62,500.00 will be from Caltrans, and approximately 2.63% or
$69,079.00 will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This FAA grant funding request is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan
adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008. The adopted Airport Master Plan
identified, within the Implementation Plan section, an overlay and reconstruction of
Runway 01L/19R. Runway 01L/19R is the most heavily used runway, which also includes a
non-precision instrument approach. The pavement is more than 22 years old and has
experienced a higher number of pavement repairs over the last several years. Additionally,
there are several other pavement areas that are nearing the end of their useful life and are in
need of replacement.
The FAA has established a new procedure which requires that 95% of all Airport
Improvement Project grant funding be based on actual construction/equipment bid prices.
Therefore, the Airport Enterprise Fund is required to advance fund the initial environmental
analysis, engineering and design, estimated at $125,000, which will later be reimbursed by
the FAA. Airport staff has met with FAA staff to confirm this project is scheduled to be
funded during the 2010-11 FY. The FAA is expected to make their formal grant offer
sometime after September 1, 2010.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA Grant funding necessary to reconstruct and resurface
the pavement on Runway 01L/19R, as well as other areas on the Airport.
