SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE BY THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION FOR
THE REHABILITATION OF A PORTION OF AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON
(INSTALL ISLANDS) AT PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT AND
AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will authorize the filing of an Application for Federal Assistance to rehabilitate
a portion of the aircraft parking apron and install separation islands at Pueblo Memorial
Airport.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND
This project will rehabilitate a portion of the aircraft apron and install turf island areas. Existing
asphalt pavement between Taxiway A and the apron will be removed to provide safety
separation between moving aircraft to meet Federal Aviation Administration airport design
standards. Access points from Taxiway A to the aircraft parking apron will be rehabilitated
and airfield lighting will be installed. Storm drainage improvements will be made within the
island areas as part of the project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total project is estimated at $3,315,790.00. The Application for Federal Assistance is for
$3,150,000.00. With the approval of City Council, a Colorado Aviation Grant application will
be submitted for 2.5%, up to $150,000.00, of the project cost. The City's local match is
estimated to be $82,895.00. 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:
The grant application could not be submitted, and the project will not occur. If the apron is not
repaired, the pavement surface will degrade to the point it is no longer useable. Pavement
areas will eventually be closed as deemed necessary. If the island areas are not installed,
safety separation between aircraft will continue to be absent creating an unsafe condition.
The result is an increased hazard of aircraft colliding.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Department of Aviation that the request to submit the
Application for Federal Assistance be approved.
