Acceptance of US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant #3-12-0028-022-2005 Amendment No. 2 (B)
This item seeks City of Gainesville acceptance of an amendment to a 2005 US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant to the Gainesville Regional Airport for renovation and rehabilitation of a portion of the terminal building. Amendment No. 2 amends the scope of work to renovation and rehabilitation (construction only) a portion of the terminal building (66% of base bid and concession shell) - Phase 2A.
Explanation
On August 22, 2005, the City of Gainesville accepted the US DOT FAA Grant # 3-12-0028-022-2005 in the amount of $3,677,853 for the renovation and rehabilitation of a portion of the Airport terminal building (construction only) - Phase 2.
On April 12, 2007, at the direction of GACRAA, the Airport CEO contacted the FAA Airports District in Orlando requesting that this grant be amended. The request seeks to separate the project into two phases, 2A and 2B in order to provide greater AIP funding coverage of the project overall. Amendment No. 2 also defines the FY 2007 entitlement amount as $1,329,920 to be committed to the project. According to Airport staff, the terminal renovation and rehabilitation project is currently underway.
On April 26, 2007, GACRAA unanimously adopted Resolution No. 07-016 accepting Amendment No. 2 to AIP Grant No. 3-12-0028-022-2005.
Fiscal Note
The original 2005 US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant is in the amount of $3,677,853 and the Amendment No. 2 defined FY 2007 entitlement amount of $1,329,920 will be utilized to complete the Gainesville Regional Airport terminal renovation and rehabilitation.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) hear a brief presentation from Gainesville Regional Airport Staff regarding this request; and 2) adopt the proposed 2005 FAA - AIP Grant Amendment Resolution and authorize the Mayor and City Attorney to execute said Grant Amendment and the City Clerk to certify said Grant Amendment subject to approval.
