Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Airport Improvement Plan Grant Offer #3-04-0013-011-2017 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $741,497 with a local match share of $37,075 for the Reconstruction of Taxiway A at the Bisbee Douglas International (BDI) Airport.

Background:

This project has been listed in the five-year Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) since 2012.  The County submitted a project application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in December 2016 for the first phase of this work, which is to reconstruct taxiway A.  Under FAA grant guidelines, the County is responsible for a 5% match.    
 
Design of construction was completed under a previous FAA grant. 
 
The Procurement Department has secured an acceptable bid for the design work from Armstrong Consultants, Inc., who is the consultant under contract to perform airport work. FAA and ADOT have approved this contract award for the reconstruction of Taxiway A.
 
The Arizona Dept of Transportation Aeronautics Division (ADOT) will also issue a grant to match the County share in the amount of $37,000.00.  A separate grant agreement will be issued by them when the FAA grant is accepted.  This project does not allow administration or overhead costs, as most of that is covered under the consultant’s contract.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

2 original copies have been submitted to the Board for signature.  Return one executed copy to Facilities.  Facilities will forward executed copy to FAA and a copy to ADOT. 
 
ADOT will issue a separate grant agreement for the share of the match and that item will be placed on a future agenda. 
 
Complete the construction work, oversee the project, maintain the grant file.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

If this Grant Agreement is not approved, the County will lose Federal and State approved funding on the airport project in the amount of $741,497.  The rehabilitation of the taxiway will not occur which will cause future pavement damage and increased repair costs.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Maintain one executed copy and return one executed copy to Facilities.
