Background Paper for Proposed
Ordinance
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
TO: President Christopher A. Nicoll and Members of City Council
CC: Sam Azad, City Manager
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Ian Turner, Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING AN INCREASE IN GRANT FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $577,746 FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION, TRANSFERRING MATCHING FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $30,408 FROM THE 2018 AIRPORT BUDGET, AND
INCREASING THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN THE REHAB RUNWAY 17/35
AND LIGHTING PROJECT NO. AP1701 TO $4,662,516
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance accepting an increase in grant funding from the Federal Aviation
Administration (“FAA”) for the rehabilitation of a portion of Runway 17/35 and installation
of lighting project at the Airport, and transferring additional funds from the 2018 Airport
Budget to project AP1701.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approved Resolution No. 13632 on March 13, 2017, authorizing the filing of
an Application for Federal Assistance with the FAA to rehabilitate Runway 17/35 at the
Pueblo Memorial Airport. City Council also approved Ordinance No. 9153 on July 24,
2017, accepting the FAA Grant for this project.
BACKGROUND
This project rehabilitates the northern 5,000 feet of the runway as well as installs new
airfield lighting. Work on this project began on April 2, 2018. Construction plans to
rehabilitate the pavement required milling 2.5 inches of old asphalt and replacing it with
2.5 inches of new asphalt. Unfortunately, the remaining asphalt surface does not provide
an adequate surface for new asphalt. Further milling to remove the remaining insufficient
asphalt is required, leading to additional work and increased cost. The FAA has agreed
to amend the grant to cover the majority of the additional cost.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds in the amount of $608,154.00 are needed to complete the project. The FAA has
agreed to amend the grant by an additional $577,746.00. The City’s matching funds in
the amount of $30,408.00 will be transferred from the 2018 Airport Budget to the Rehab
Runway 17/35 and Lighting Project No. AP1701. This amendment increases the total
amount of the project to $4,662,516.00.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the project will be stopped, funding
returned to the FAA, and the runway closed due to safety concerns.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Aviation recommends approval of this Ordinance.
