Information

Referral History:

The Buchanan Field ALP needs to be updated to identify future facility needs, land use designations on airport and development direction. County staff sent a project-specific technical services solicitation to the five on-call consultants in order to determine the most qualified firm to perform this work. Public Works and Airports Division staff reviewed the proposals and determined unanimously that Kimley-Horn was the preferred consultant for this work.

On December 13, 2016, the Board approved and authorized the Director of Airports, or designee, to (i) submit and Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant application to both the FAA and Caltrans, and (ii) sign an acceptance of funds under the California Aid to Airports Program Grant Agreement – Federal AIP Matching Funds grant program to perform an ALP update. The grant funds can be used to reimburse the Airport Enterprise Fund. In addition, the Board approved and authorized the Chair of the Board to sign a Statement of Acceptance with the FAA for grant funds to perform an ALP update. The Airports Division requested authority to execute a two-year contract (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019) with Kimley-Horn for $309,400 to perform the engineering and planning for the Buchanan Field ALP update project and to conduct a FAA requested survey.

During the course of updating the ALP, a runway safety analysis and a release of approximately 16-acres of land for non-aeronautical use (see discussion below) were added to the project in order to comply with FAA requirements.

Referral Update:

The consultants are preparing the ALP text and map updates. They are also in process of preparing the land release request package and will be starting the runway safety analysis in February 2019.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Airport Layout Plan, Buchanan Field Airport (Airport Director's Report). This is a general discussion about the status of the project and amending the contract to increase the payment limit by $87,776 for the runway safety analysis.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

This project received approximately $285,425 in grants from the FAA and Caltrans. Adding the runway safety analysis to the project increases to the project cost to $397,176. The Airport Enterprise Fund will be used to cover the additional project expenses.
