TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
DATE: April 15 , 1986
SUBJECT: Revised Application for $1,000,000 Federal Grant for Improvements at Buchanan
Field Airport, Project #AIP3-06-0050-03
Specific Requests or recommendations & Background and Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Public Works Director or his designee to
revise the, previous application for a federal grant out of the Airport Improvement
Program in the amount of $1,000,000 (909 of the total project) .
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The local share for this project in the amount of $111,111 will be
funded out of the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND: The pre-application for this project was previously approved on August 27,
1985. It has been determined that it would be appropriate to change the scope of this
project. The previous project included:
1. Extension of taxiway "F",
2. Connector taxiway on Runway 1R,
3. Land acquisition for clear zone on Runway 14L,
4. Taxiway "E" rehabilitation,
5. Rehabilitation of Runway 14R/32L,
6. Extension of Taxiway "J".
The. revised recommended project will be:
I . Land acquisition for clear zone runway 14L,
2. Overlay and strengthen taxiway "A".
The Airport has recently conducted non-destructive testing and core drilling of the
Airport runways and taxiways. It was found that taxiway "A" is significantly below the
strength of aircraft currently using it and has exceeded its planned useful life (20+
years) . In preliminary discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration it has
been determined that they are in agreement with this proposed change to the project.
The Airport Improvement Project (AIP) is a user funded trust fund program for airport
development. For federal funding purposes Buchanan Field is considered to be a reliever
airport and as such is in competition with other airports in this category for federal
funds. There is no assurance we will receive full funding for the project. The
pre-application does not commit the County to any obligation. The scope of the project
can be changed at our option.
