Council authorizes FAA grant agreement for runway rehabilitation and lighting project
Summary
Powell City Council authorized signatures for an FAA grant agreement to rehabilitate and reconstruct Runway 13/31 and install new lighting, following earlier approval of the grant application.
Powell City Council authorized signatures Monday on a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant agreement to rehabilitate and reconstruct Runway 13/31 at Powell Municipal Airport and to fund new runway lighting.
Council previously approved submitting the grant application; the agreement presented Monday formalizes federal funding and requires the city’s execution. Ben (staff member) said the FAA offered a funding opportunity that needed prompt execution to meet federal timing, which is why the item was added to the agenda.
Legal and staff noted that FAA agreements contain standard federal contract language and that negotiation of federal provisions is limited. The council approved authorizing signatures so staff can execute the grant agreement and begin contract and construction procurement steps.
Ending: Staff will finalize execution and coordinate required procurement steps to begin runway construction and lighting work under the FAA grant.
