AP1804 SOUTH T-HANGAR #1, AND ESTABLISHING PROJECT NO. AP2401 EAST APRON (N) TAXILANE REHAB BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $13,094 TO SAID PROJECT SUMMARY: This Ordinance will approve and accept a Colorado Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division Grant for the East Apron (North) Rehab project design phase and the Taxilane Rehab and New T-Hangar project design phase for the Pueblo Memorial Airport. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance No. 9308, passed and approved on July 9, 2018, established Project No. AP1804 South T-Hangar #1 budgeting and appropriating funds from insurance claim for damage to t-hangars. BACKGROUND: The City owned a set of ten T-Hangars that were built in the late 1970s. In May of 2015, the Airport was hit by a severe hail storm that damaged the roof. Then, in July of 2016, the T-Hangars were further damaged by a DC-10 that severely damaged the northernmost hangar unit. Insurance funds have been received to repair the damages. However, repairing the damage will only return the building to its previous condition, which is lacking. Rain water regularly floods the hangars and the hangar doors either require extensive repairs or will need repairs in the near future. Repairing the building would not extend its useful life. The 2022 Airport Master Plan identified the need to construct new general aviation hangars and rehabilitate taxilane infrastructure at the Pueblo Memorial Airport. It is anticipated the FAA will award a grant from the Bi- partisan Infrastructure Legislation (BIL) funds to reimburse 95% of project costs. CDOT has committed to provide up to 2.5% of project design costs, not exceeding $6,250. The 2022 Airport Master Plan identified the need to rehab the east apron north of the GA t-hangars. It is anticipated the FAA will award a grant from the Bi-partisan Infrastructure Legislation (BIL) funds to reimburse 95% of project costs. CDOT has committed to providing up to 2.5% of project design costs, not exceeding $6,546. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $6,250.00 will be budgeted and appropriated to Project No. AP1804 South T-Hangar #1. City obligated matching funds of $6,250.00 will come from the already budgeted and appropriated funds. Funds in the amount of $6,546.00 will be budgeted and appropriated to Project No. AP2401 East Apron (N) Taxilane Rehab. City obligated matching funds of $6,548.00 will be transferred from the Airport Improvement Fund. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Ordinance. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: If this Ordinance is not approved, the grant will not be accepted from the State and project will not occur. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 24-PUB-01 SDGA Resolution for Signature
