Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration Grant Funding for Airfield Taxiway Pavement Reconstruction at
Buchanan Field
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute a Statement of Acceptance with the
Federal Aviation Administration for grant funds to perform environmental analysis, design, engineering, for
maintenance of various taxiway pavements and signage upgrades at Buchanan Field in the approximate amount of
$1,478,700.
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to execute an acceptance of funds under the
California Aid to Airports Program Grant Agreement-Federal AIP Matching Funds grant program to perform
environmental analysis, design, engineering, and maintenance of various taxiway pavements and signage upgrades at
Buchanan Field in the approximate amount of $36,968.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project amount will be approximately $1,643,000. Approximately 90%, or $1,478,700 will be from the
FAA, approximately 2.25%, or $36,968 will be from Caltrans, and approximately 7.75%, or $127,632 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
Taxiway Echo and Kilo pavement is more than 25 years old and has experienced a high number of pavement failures
and associated repairs during the last several years. The project will also include replacement of approximately 1,000
airfield sign panels, which have experienced sun damage.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA and Caltrans Grant funding necessary to reconstruct and resurface the
pavement on Taxiway Echo, as well as replacement of the airfield sign panels. This may result in the closure of
Taxiway Echo until sufficient funds are accumulated by the Airport Enterprise Fund.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
