Referral History:

Discuss Runway 14L/32R Pavement Replacement Project, Buchanan Field Airport

In December of 2016, the Board authorized the Director of Airports to submit applications and accept Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and California Department of Transportation grants related to Runway 14L/32R pavement reconstruction.

In August of 2017 the FAA and California Department of Transportation awarded a grant for approximately $261,000 to the County to complete the design and engineering portion of the Runway 14L/32R pavement reconstruction project. The design of the project is now winding down and a construction bid package is expected to be advertised in early 2019. In September of 2018, Airport staff submitted an application for approximately $3,800,000 to complete the construction portion of the project.

Referral Update:

Due to requested changes to the design of the project, the construction bid package costs came in significantly higher than the estimate. The FAA has tentatively agreed to fund the increased costs of approximately $5,300,000 for the construction project. The winner bidder has been selected and the Airports Division is waiting for the final documentation from the FAA. The project is projected to start when the weather clears in 2020 (approximately April/May timeframe).

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Runway 14L/32R Pavement Replacement Project, Buchanan Field Airport Discuss the FAA grant funding and project timing for Runway 14L/32R pavement rehabilitation project, Buchanan Field. If the FAA awards the grant to complete the pavement reconstruction of Runway 14L/32R the project is expected to start in early 2020. Grant funding offer is expected the week of September 9, 2019.
.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

There will be no County General Funds expended on this project. The total project cost is estimated to be $5,800,000 with $5,300,000 being funded by FAA. The remaining funding will be shared by the California Department of Transportation and the Airport Enterprise Fund.
