Council approves HDR task order, authorizes BIL and AIP grant requests for airport apron rehab
Summary
The council approved a task order with HDR for engineering and construction management for the airport apron rehabilitation and authorized grant requests for BIL and AIP funds; the city will cover a 2.5% local match.
The City Council approved HDR's task order to provide engineering and construction management services for the airport apron rehabilitation project and authorized two grant requests to help fund the work: one under the BIL fund source and one under the AIP/NPE fund source.
City staff said HDR is the airport's engineer and will perform design and construction administration. Staff told the council the city's local share of the project is 2.5 percent; most of the funding is expected from the Federal Aviation Administration, with additional participation from state aviation funds.
Councilors moved and seconded approval of HDR Task Order No. 2 and the two grant requests, and each motion carried by voice vote. Staff identified Ben Hubbard as the point of contact for questions about the BIL grant request.
Clarifying details stated at the meeting: HDR is the airport's retained engineer; the city is responsible for roughly 2.5% of project costs; the BIL account accumulates and can be applied to local projects in a manner similar to other state/local matching programs; the AIP/NPE grant is an FAA program staff said helps fund airport rehabilitation projects. The council authorized all necessary signatures to complete the task order and grant applications.
