RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to ADVERTISE the Buchanan Field Airport pavement maintenance and related electrical upgrades project. Project No. 4855-4652-FAS-6X5333, DCD-CP #14-12, and FAA Project No. 3-06-0050-021 (District IV).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated construction cost is $2,277,000; of which, approximately 90% (or $2,049,300) will be from the FAA, approximately 2.25% (or $51,233) will be from Caltrans, and approximately 7.75% (or $176,467) will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department is in the process of improving the pavement and upgrading lights and signs on Taxiway Echo and Kilo at the Buchanan Field Airport. The project will include the minor reconstruction and surface maintenance of the two taxiways. The project is necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the taxiways as required by the FAA for safety, operational and capacity purposes. The project is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 28, 2008.

The Department of Conservation and Development previously determined that this project is a Categorical Exemption, under Section 15301 (Class I) pf the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines. The Notice of Exemption (County file CP #14-12) was administratively approved on April 16, 2014. Even though a Categorical Exemption has already been determined, our department still requires that Board of Supervisors to authorize the Public Works Direction, or designee, to advertise the project for bids.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project advertisement will result in a delay of the construction and may jeopardize Federal funding.
