Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action allows BCAD to accept grant funding from FDOT for the construction of the Project in the amount of $78,838.
The cost for the construction of the Project is estimated to be $3,153,520 (“Project Cost”). As outlined in the PTGA, FDOT will provide grant funding in the amount of $78,838 for the Project. Broward County (“County”) along with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) will fund the remaining Project Cost, estimated to be $3,074,682 and will cover any Project cost overruns.
Taxiway M is parallel to and is located north of Runway 10R-28L at HWO and is approximately 35 feet wide by 3,250 feet long. The FDOT Statewide Airfield Pavement Management Program indicates that Taxiway M is in need of rehabilitation. The Project will rehabilitate the taxiway and re-align taxiway connectors M1 and M3 to meet current FAA design criteria as recommended in the Airport Layout Plan. The pavement overlay of Taxiway M will enhance overall airfield safety and operations at HWO by improving the airfield pavement and re-aligning the taxiway connectors to current FAA design standards.
The proposed PTGA has been reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney. The PTGA does not include the County's standard agreement provisions as FDOT requires the County to use its form agreement.
