Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration Grant Funding for Byron Airport Pavement, Signage and Lighting
Enhancements
RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign a Statement of Acceptance with the
Federal Aviation Administration for grant funds to perform environmental analysis, design, engineering and
maintenance/reconstruction of various pavements at Byron Airport in the amount of approximately $893,000.
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to sign 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/reconstruction of various pavements at Byron Airport
in the amount of approximately $22,500.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On April 24, 2012, the Board authorized the submittal and acceptance of FAA and Caltrans grants for this project.
The estimated project amount was approximately $600,000. Since that Board action, Airport staff has had our
aviation engineer analyze the pavement and perform the design necessary to construct the required improvements. As
a result of the design engineering, the project cost estimate has increased to approximately $992,000 but final project
total cost may differ due to construction bids.
This Board action will authorize submitting and accepting FAA and Caltrans grants for the higher estimated project
amount. There is no impact on the County General Fund. The total project amount will be approximately $992,000;
of which about 90% (or $892,500.00) will be from the FAA, approximately 2.25% (or $22,400.00) will be from
Caltrans, and about 7.75% (or $76,900.00) will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This FAA grant funding request is consistent with the Byron Airport Master Plan adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on June 14, 2005. The adopted Airport Master Plan includes runway, taxiway and ramp maintenance
activities plus signage and lighting enhancements. The pavement is about 18 years old and is in need of pavement
repairs, upgrading to more energy efficient LED lighting and signage enhancements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA Grant funding necessary to maintain the airfield, perform minor reconstruction
on portions of the ramp, and install signage and lighting improvements on the Airport.
