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
THE DIVISION OF AERONAUTICS FOR THE REHABILITATION OF A
PORTION OF AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON (CONSTRUCT ISLANDS) AT
PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT, AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF
AVIATION TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF
PUEBLO
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will authorize the filing of an application for a Colorado Aviation Grant to
rehabilitate a portion of aircraft parking apron and to 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 standards.
Access points from Taxiway A to the aircraft parking apron will be rehabilitated. Storm
drainage improvements will be made within the island areas as part of the project.
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 $3,315,790.00. 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.
This amount is estimated to be $82,895.00. 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. The remaining $3,150,000.00 will
come from a Federal grant through the Airport Improvement Program, should it be offered
and accepted.
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 a Colorado
Aviation Grant application be approved.
