AP0801 AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $441,194 AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME ISSUE Should City Council approve and accept a Federal Aviation Administration Grant Agreement and appropriate funds to Project No. AP0801. Approval of this Ordinance. BACKGROUND This grant is for the design phase of the Runway 8L/26R Rehabilitation project. The FAA funding program is still being determined in the legislature, so the funds for the entire project have yet to be released. The Denver FAA office has been able to obtain $441,194 in order to issue a grant to pay for the design phase of the project that was completed by the engineers in January of this year. However, the FAA is requiring that the grant be signed and returned to them no later than June 20 in order to be issued. It is possible that the rest of the funds for the project, approximately 5 million dollars, may be released at any time. If this occurs, the FAA will be able to issue the grant for the entire project but will probably require a quick turn around on the signing of the grant. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Federal grant is for $441,194 and will cover 95% of the design phase of the project. On April 28, 2008, City Council approved a State grant for $144,737 and City funds in the amount of $144,737 were appropriated as the matching funds for the entire project which is estimated to be approximately 5.5 million dollars. At that time, Capital Project No. AP0801 was established and the State and City funds were budgeted into the project. Capital Project No. AP0801 will now need to be increased by $441,194, the amount of the federal grant. The total funding for the design phase is $464,414: FAA grant - $441,194, State grant- $11,610, Local Match - $11,610.
