Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
By Resolution No. 13-006 (January 22, 2013), the Board approved the Airport Layout Plan for Little River Airport. By Resolution No. 14-138 (October 21, 2014) the Board approved DOT Agreement No. 140021/Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement No. 14-095, for aviation consulting services with Mead & Hunt, Inc., in the Amount of $92,150 for design, plans, specifications, and estimates, for rehabilitation of taxiways and the south apron at Little River Airport. By Resolution No. 15-095 (June 16, 2015) the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to DOT Agreement No. 140021/ BOS Agreement No. 14-095, with Mead & Hunt, Inc., in the Amount of $99,550 for additional aviation consulting at Little River Airport. By Resolution No. 17-083 (June 20, 2017) the Board authorized DOT to advertise for bids and award DOT Contract No. 170003 in the estimated amount of $2,900,000, including contingency, for pavement reconstruction of Taxiway A, connector taxiways and south apron at Little River Airport. By Resolution No. 17-182 (December 5, 2017), the Board approved the Airport Capital Improvement Plan for Little River Airport for Fiscal Years 2019-2023.
Summary of Request:
On July 27, 2017, DOT opened bids for reconstruction of Taxiway A, connector taxiways and south apron at Little River Airport; however, all bids came in higher than estimated and exceeded the amount of funds available in the grant. DOT subsequently submitted a request for a modification to standard in order to rehabilitate the existing taxiway in lieu of reconstruction, which was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The project was not budgeted in Fiscal Year 2018-19 due to unavailability of funds for the ten percent local match. The FAA has now announced additional supplemental Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funds that are available for projects with no local match required. DOT has submitted an application for said funds to complete the rehabilitation of Taxiway A, connector taxiways and south apron at Little River Airport. Additionally, the adjacent main apron was added to the request as it is also in need of repair. The deadline to submit applications was before DOT was able to bring the application to the Board for approval. DOT is requesting the Board ratify the grant application which was submitted to FAA on October 31, 2018, in the amount of $6,000,000, and authorize the Director of Transportation to act as the airport sponsor’s official representative and to execute the grant agreement and sign any other necessary related documents on behalf of Mendocino County if awarded. If the grant is awarded, DOT will request a budget adjustment to reflect the increase in expenses and revenues.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the Resolution and provide direction to staff.
