Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Airport Improvement Plan Grant Offer 3-04-0013-009-2014 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $86,206 with a local match share of $4,232 for the acquisition of a pavement sweeper for the Bisbee-Douglas International Airport effective December 16, 2013 through December 16, 2014.
Background:
This project has been listed in the five-year Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) since 2009. The County submitted a project application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on December 16, 2013 for a grant to purchase an equipment sweeper for use at the airport. This sweeper is a critical piece of equipment required to keep the pavement on the runways and taxi-ways clear of foreign object debris. Both the runways and taxiways at the airport have had extensive renovation over the last year which requires the pavement be swept regularly to maintain the integrity of the asphalt. Keeping the asphalt free of debris is also a safety factor for airplanes. The Procurement Department has secured an acceptable bid for the equipment purchase which the FAA has approved. The Arizona Dept of Transportation Aeronautics Division (ADOT) will also issue a grant to match the County share in the amount of $4,232. A separate grant agreement will be issued by them when the FAA grant is accepted. This project allows $2,800 for administration overhead fees. This grant and equipment purchase is in the current budget.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
One original and two copies of the Grant Agreement will be provided to the Clerk of the Board. After formal Board approval and appropriate signatures, please return ONE signed original and ONE signed copy marked STATE to Lisa Marra to forward to the FAA and one to ADOT. Please retain ONE signed copy marked SPONSOR in the Board office for record. ADOT will issue a separate grant agreement for the share of the match and that item will be placed on a future agenda
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If this Grant Offer is not approved, the County will lose Federal and State approved funding on the airport project in the amount of $90,438. A sweeper would not be purchased and the pavement would not be maintained as required by the FAA and ADOT regulations. Further deterioration could occur along with airplane damage if objects are on the runway.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
