ADMINISTRATION (FAA) AIP GRANT AGREEMENT NO. 3-08-0046-034-
2014 FOR FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,310,000 TO REHABILITATE
TAXIWAY D AND A PORTION OF THE AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON
AT THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT AND BUDGETING AND
APPROPRIATING $2,314,211 TO CAPITAL PROJECT NO. AP1402-
TAXIWAY D REHAB
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving and ratifying a FAA grant agreement for the
rehabilitation of Taxiway D and a portion of the aircraft parking apron at the Airport.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved Resolution No. 12903 on February 24, 2014 authorizing the filing
of an application for Federal assistance from the FAA to rehabilitate Taxiway D and a
portion of the aircraft parking apron at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. City Council also
approved Ordinance No. 8708 on March 24, 2014 accepting a Colorado State of
Aeronautics grant to fund 2.5% of this project. On April 14, 2014, City Council approved
Ordinance No. 8725 that established Project AP1402-Taxiway D Rehab and budgeted
the State grant funds and the City’s matching funds into the project.
BACKGROUND
The pavement on Taxiway D and the associated apron area needs to be rehabilitated.
This project is on the Airport’s CIP with both the Federal and State governments. The
FAA is requiring the grant be accepted and executed by the City by September 9, 2014
in order for the grant to be valid. A Resolution is going before City Council on this
agenda that will accept and approve the grant but this Ordinance is also being
submitted to City Council for first reading to ratify the Resolution and to budget the grant
funds into Project AP1402-Taxiway D Rehab.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total project is $2,431,579. The Federal grant is for $2,310,000. The State and
City matching funds were originally based on an estimated project cost of $2,263,157
and the State issued a grant for $56,578 with the City’s match being $56,579. Based on
the Federal grant, the State’s portion should be $60,789 and City’s portion should be
$60,790. The State has agreed to take an amendment to the Colorado Aeronautical
Board asking for any additional funds, if needed, for the project after the Federal grant
has been issued and accepted. The additional cost to the State and City will be $4,211.
Federal funds in the amount of $2,310,000 will be budgeted to Project AP1402 and the
City’s matching fund increase will be transferred from Capital Project CIAN18-Airport
Grants to Project AP1402.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The project will only close small portions of the airport at any one time. Access will be
provided for pilots wanting to use the facility and there should be minimal interference
with any of the businesses on the Airport.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council approves and accepts the grant under the Resolution, the City will be
responsible for the grant and the Federal government will expect the City to complete
the project. If the Resolution is approved, then this Ordinance will need to be approved
to budget the grant funds into the project. However, if City Council does not approve
the Resolution, then this Ordinance will be pulled from the agenda.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Ordinance.
