C. Do not approved the Grant Agreement, nor perform the work and risk concrete deterioration/failure.
Background/History:
The ultra violet rays are deteriorating existing silicone seals in the concrete joints, and the Airport sweeper is exacerbating the problem. Joints will soon contain no sealant, resulting in dangerous concrete block heave issues during moist freeze thaw cycles.
Key Considerations:
The concrete ramp repairs will allow the City to continue to provide safe on and off ramp loading for airline passengers.
Expanded Financial Considerations:
The total grant award amount is $279,000 (90% of total project cost) with a City match in the amount of $31,000 (10% of total project cost) for a total project cost of $310,000. The project is budgeted in FY 2014 in account number 270-3724-783-4103.
Community Benefits and Considerations:
Construction of the project will increase the utility and safety of operations at the Airport, as well as provide continued commercial air service on a safely constructed ramp.
Community Involvement:
Inform - Construction of these improvements is included as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Pulliam Airport Master Plan which was also approved by the City Council on June 20, 2000. Approval of the Master Plan included numerous public meetings and hearings where public input was actively solicited. In addition, the Airport Commission has had involvement in reviewing the overall project as part of the Airport project updates which are discussed at the Commission’s regularly scheduled monthly meetings.
