BACKGROUND:
On March 29, 2011, this Board adopted Resolution No. 071336 which authorized the Director of Public Works to execute and accept grant agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
The Half Moon Bay Airport runway needs repairs and pavement preservation work due to typical wear and tear. The FAA requires the Half Moon Bay Airport to maintain its runway in a safe and serviceable condition. The FAA will provide grant funding for the Half Moon Bay Airport Runway Pavement Preservation Project (Project) in an amount equal to 90 percent of project costs, while Caltrans will provide matching grant funding of 4.5 percent of the FAA grant amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Public Works (Department) retained C&S Companies to develop the Project plans and specifications to repair the runway at the Half Moon Bay Airport. The improvements will include, in general, sealing cracks and applying a seal coat on the runway pavement, and re-painting the runway pavement markings and legends.
The Half Moon Bay Airport runway will be closed for approximately nine (9) days for construction of this Project. The Airport staff is coordinating with its tenants and businesses about the necessary repairs and associated runway closure. This Project complies with all FAA Advisory Circular guidelines, and local and state codes.
The County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of this Project is estimated at $787,092 and is proposed to be financed as follows:
FAA Airport Improvement Plan Grant $ 708,383
Caltrans 4.5% Matching Grant (4.5% of FAA Grant) $ 31,877
Airport Enterprise Fund $ 46,832
Total $ 787,092
The Project will initially be financed from the Airport Enterprise Fund as the Federal and State grants are received on a reimbursable basis. The Airport Enterprise Fund has the capability to handle the cash flow requirements of this Project while monthly grant payments are requested of the FAA and Caltrans. The FAA and Caltrans grant applications and amount represented above are based upon estimated costs, but the actual grant offers will be based on bids.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
