Consideration and Approval of Grant Agreement:   Between the City of Flagstaff and the Arizona Department of Transportation for the Flagstaff Airport, Runway 3/21 Mill and Overlay Project.

The Flagstaff Airport is a single runway airport that supports commercial air service, business, medical, military and general aviation traffic for Flagstaff and the Northern Arizona Region. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognizes the importance of this runway to our community. This project is critical to the goals of maintaining city infrastructure, as well as to the continued efforts for secondary air service and access.

Prior to the construction of this project, the existing Flagstaff Airport runway pavement was oxidized, distressed and had grade irregularities that risked aircraft damage if not corrected. This project has included the mill and overlay of the runway pavement, connecting taxiways A1 to A9, new asphalt shoulders, pavement sealing of the blast pads and striping, along with needed markings.  The project currently is near completion.
 

This ADOT Grant Offer will provide a project match in the amount of $387,332 (4.47%), the City will provide a match of $387,332 (4.47%) and FAA provided an Airport Improvement Program (AIP 41) grant in the amount $7,890,485 (91.06%) for a total project cost of $8,665,149.

This project is budgeted in FY 2017 account number 221-07-222-3332-0-4433 in the amount of $3,277,685 and $4,093,533 in FY 2018. This project is currently in the 5-year plan.  The remaining $1,293,931 in FY 2017 is un-budgeted; however, there is sufficient budget appropriation in accounts 221-07-222-3352-0-4402 that will not be spent in FY 2017 to cover this overage.       .

The Flagstaff Airport has been at it's current location since 1948. It has one runway, 8,800 feet in length and 150 feet wide. The runway was extended in 2007 from 6,999 feet to its current length to allow for larger aircraft to land. It is constructed of asphalt to FAA AC 150/5300-13 standards. The single runway handles over 40,000 operations a year, an over 130,000 passengers fly in and out of the airport.  The Flagstaff Airport provides air service for private, medical, emergency response aircraft and commercial carriers.
 

This work was critical for the Flagstaff Airport. The existing open graded friction course was raveling in several locations, leaving loose aggregate that was dangerous for flight operations. This project consisted of the mill and overlay (2.5" in depth) of the runway pavement, connecting taxiways A1 to A9, new asphalt shoulders, pavement sealing of the blast pads and pavement striping, as well as needed markings.

The airport supports the community with air service, medical flights, and is an economic generator for Flagstaff and Northern Arizona. The maintenance of the runway is critical to continue support for air service and medical users that utilize our airport. Construction of the airport project increased the utility and safety of our overall operations. New pavement on the airport runway provides a safer landing and takeoff area for all pilots.
