FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no impact on the County General Fund. The total project amount will be$157,895.00. Ninety-five percent(95%) or$150,000.00 will be from the FAA,four and three-quarter percent(4.75%) or$7,500.00 will be from Caltrans, and one-quarter percent(0.25%) or$395.00 will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: The fire system was first installed with the opening of the new Byron Airport in 1994. The system includes a one (1) million gallon open water holding pond, fire pump and pump engine. The system was installed during the construction of the new Byron Airport because there is no fire hydrant service serving the Airport and surrounding area. After eleven years of service there was a failure with the pump engine in which it overheated and the engine was destroyed. The fire system is currently being maintained by a temporary fire pump system, at the cost of$5,150.00 per month. These grant funds will allow the Public Works Department-Airports Division to purchase both a new fire pump engine and emergency backup fire pump/engine system. The purchase of the emergency backup fire pump/engine system should reduce any significant service interruptions, should the new system fail in the future. Additionally, a fire system engineering consultant will evaluate the proposed replacement fire pump engine, monitor the installation of the new fire pump engine and evaluate the capacity limits of the system in regards to future demands. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: The entire$157,895.00 expense to replace the fire system at the Byron Airport will be bore sole by the Airport Enterprise Fund.
