SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR A
COLORADO AVIATION GRANT BY THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, FROM THE COLORADO AERONAUTICS BOARD AND

PUEBLO
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will authorize the filing of an application for a Colorado Aviation Grant to
rehabilitate Runway 17/35 at Pueblo Memorial Airport.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND
The existing pavement on the northern half of Runway 17/35 was applied in the early 1980s
and has begun to deteriorate and produce debris which is a hazard to aircraft. The
southern 3,310 feet of the runway has been rehabilitated in the last few years in conjunction
with other projects. This project will rehabilitate the northern 5,000 feet of the runway as
well as install a new airfield lighting system on the entire runway to replace the current
system that is over 20 years old. Storm drain improvements to the existing system where
damage has occurred over time will be performed as well.
The State grant application is now submitted electronically on the Division of Aeronautics
internet system. Therefore, we are requesting that City Council give the Director of Aviation
the authorization to submit the grant application on behalf of the City of Pueblo.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total project is estimated at $6,315,789.47. With the approval of City Council, an
application for federal assistance will be submitted for $6,000,000.00. This grant application
will be for 2.5% of the project cost, up to $150,000.00. This grant is contingent upon the
federal grant being offered and accepted. The City's local match is estimated to be
$165,789.47. Matching funds are available in the 542 PFC Fund which contains PFC funds
previously reimbursed to the City for past AIP projects.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the runway is not repaired, the pavement surface will degrade to the point it is no longer
useable. Eventually, it would need to be closed due to safety.
The airfield lighting system is already at the point where parts are not obtainable. If not
replaced the runway lighting system would have to be abandoned, and the runway used
only during daylight hours.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Aviation Department that the request to submit a Colorado
Aviation Grant application be approved.

Project Summary: Rehabilitate Runway 17/35 and Lighting System
FAA AIP Grant#3-08-0046-035
Identify the existing problem: Item 1:Rehabilitate Runway 17/35
Runway 17/35 currently has a Porous Friction Course on the north 5,000 feet of the runway.This surface was applied in the 1980s and has
surpassed its useful life.The pavement surface is deteriorating and creating Foreign Object Debris hazards for aircraft.It is suspected that
airfield drainage underneath this section of Runway 17/35 is beginning to fail.
Item 2:Airfield Lighting System
The existing Airfield Lighting System on the entire length of Runway 17/35 is obsolete.Airport staff struggle to find replacement parts for
20+year old system.
Item 3:Taxiway C5 Relocation
Taxiway C5 does not meet current design standards.Primarily,it does not intersect Runway 17/35 at the Runway 17 threshold as is the
current FAA design standard.
Project Definition: Item 1:Rehabilitate Runway 17/35 and Lighting System
The Porous Friction Course will be milled off and replaced with an asphalt overlay of the northern 5,000 feet.Runway slopes will be
adjusted to meet new FAA design standards.Shoulders and safety areas for the Runway and Taxiway will be graded to correct any deficiencies
encountered.The new asphalt surface will be grooved and the entire 8,310 feet of Runway 17/35 will receive new markings.
The existing airfield storm drainage collection system serving Runway 17/35 will be surveyed utilizing video documentation for the
portion of the storm drainage system beneath the runway pavements and within the safety areas.This survey will determine if they need to be
rehabilitated as part of this work.
Item 2:Airfield Lighting System
Existing Airfield lighting and NAVAIDs will be removed.The Medium Intensity Runway Lights(MIRL),Runway End Identifier Lights
(REILS),threshold lights,Runway Distance Remaining Signs(RDRs),Airfield Guidance Signs,a new runway regulator,and the replacement
of the Runway 17 PAPI and associated lighted windsock will be replaced.The Runway 35 PAPI was replaced under an earlier project.If funds
are available,the antiquated Airfield Lighting Control System will be replaced under this project.
Item 3:Taxiway C5 Relocation:
Taxiway C5 will be removed and a complete reconstruction at the end of Runway 17/35 will be made at the Runway 17 Threshold.
