Title
Acceptance of anticipated US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant #3-12-0028-033-2011 in the amount of $1,532,843 (B)

This item seeks City of Gainesville acceptance of an anticipated 2011 US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP Grant to the Gainesville Regional Airport in the amount of $1,532,843 for replacement/upgrade of perimeter fencing and related Airfield Security Equipment (Phase II), preparation of an Airport Wildlife Hazard Management Plan and replacement of ARFF Mutual Aid Radios at the Gainesville Regional Airport.

The Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority anticipates an offer from the FAA for AIP Grant 3-12-0028-033-2011 in the amount of up to $1,532,843 for replacement/upgrade of perimeter fencing and related Airfield Security Equipment (Phase II), preparation of an Airport Wildlife Hazard Management Plan and replacement of ARFF Mutual Aid Radios at the Gainesville Regional Airport.

GACRAA did approve a Resolution (Resolution No. 11-023) accepting the anticipated grant at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 28, 2011.

Fiscal Note
This US Department of Transportation FAA - AIP anticipated Grant is in the amount of $1,532,843 with proceeds for listed improvements to be received by the Gainesville Regional Airport.
