County
Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration Grant Funding for Airfield Runway Pavement Reconstruction at
Buchanan Field
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project amount will be approximately $3,785,000. Approximately 90%, or $3,406,500 will be from the
FAA, approximately 2.25%, or $85,163 will be from Caltrans, and approximately 7.75%, or $293,337 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, upgrades to various airfield pavements that have exceeded their designed useful life. Specifically, the
Runway 14L/32R pavement is more than 25 years old and has experienced a high number of pavement failures and
associated repairs during the last several years.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA and Caltrans Grant funding necessary to reconstruct and resurface the
pavement on Runway 14L/32R and may result in the closure of the runway until sufficient funds are accumulated by
the Airport Enterprise Fund.
