Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action approves a FDOT Public Transportation Grant Agreement (“PTGA”) to provide grant funding up to a maximum amount of $140,000, to assist in the Dual Taxilane Project at HWO.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $175,000 (“Project Cost”). FDOT will fund 80% of the Project Cost. Broward County (“County”) will fund all expenses for the Dual Taxilane Project in excess of the amount of FDOT’s funding, currently estimated to be $35,000 or 20% of the Project Cost.
The proposed Dual Taxilane Project will allow for construction of a second Taxilane parallel to the existing one, near the western end of the South Apron at HWO which will be designed to accommodate single wheel aircraft. Additional construction work will include re-striping the ramp area to the North of the proposed parallel Taxilane. The Dual Taxilane Project will mitigate congestion on the existing Taxilane, and improve the flow of aircraft traffic through utilization of both Taxilanes.
The proposed PTGA was 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.
