HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On August 18, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-078 authorizing the Mayor to coordinate with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to increase the funding for FDOT grant 420300-5 from $500,000 to $580,000 to assist with a design to rehabilitate Runway 8/26.
Runway 8/26 is a 7,000 ft asphalt runway designed to accommodate Airplane Design Group IV aircraft. It was last resurfaced in 2004. A crack seal project in 2020 helped prevent deterioration of the sub-base, but a mill-and-overlay is required to mitigate future issues with pavement deterioration. This phase of the project would design the mill-and-overlay, with the intention of construction in FY 2024.
The grant would provide partial funding for a consultant to review project objectives, prepare design documents, submit applicable permit applications, and prepare cost estimates. The consultant will also prepare front-end documents for a public competitive bid process, attend a Pre-Bid Conference, attend bid opening, review bids, and provide a formal recommendation of award. The remaining funding will come from the Airport’s capital improvement account.
FDOT requires an authorizing resolution accepting the grant award and authorizing the Mayor to execute the grant. Resolution No. 2022-096 will be brought before City Council to meet this requirement.
