AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Meeting Date: November 13, 2007
From: Charlie Weller, Airport Manager
Subject: Resolution approving a Joint Participation Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for construction of an extension to the FBO aircraft parking ramp at Leesburg International Airport
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends acceptance of the Joint Participation Agreement with FDOT for construction of an extension of the FBO aircraft parking ramp area.
Analysis:
During peak periods, the existing FBO aircraft parking ramp area is insufficient to accommodate transit aircraft parking at Leesburg International Airport The parking ramp area t is especially inadequate when two or more large jet aircraft need to park on the ramp at the same time. Growth of corporate traffic has increased significantly during the last six to seven years. Therefore, additional ramp space is needed.
The attached Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) issued by the Florida Department of Transportation will provide 80% of the funding up to $670,000.00 to build 62,000 square feet of concrete ramp area. Structurally, the new ramp will support the weight of a Gulfstream V, which is 90,500 lbs. (maximum take off weight). Concrete has a life expectancy between 30 and 40 years whereas asphalt has a life expectancy of only 20 years. Additionally, asphalt requires a surface treatment every ten (10) years costing $7.00 - $8.00/square feet, using today's prices. The cost to build the ramp extension will be $667,965.00.
Funding breakdown will be as follows:
FDOT $534,372.00 80%
City of Leesburg $133,593.00 20%
Building the ramp will take approximately 3 ½ months after the Notice to Proceed is issued.
Options:
1. Approve the JPA with FDOT for construction of the extension of the FBO aircraft parking
ramp project
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project was budgeted in FY 06/07. A budget amendment will be required to roll those funds into FY 07/08. The City’s match portion will be funded by the Local Option Sales Tax .
