BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 15, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Approval of Grant for Construction of Entrance Road at Bob Sikes Airport
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve a
grant offer from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a new entrance road to
Bob Sikes Airport.
BACKGROUND: The FDOT has identified $3,804,231 of aviation and road money to assist in
funding the estimated $11,000,000 project to construct a new entrance road from SR 90
northward to the John Givens connector road to the Airport. Although the majority of the
funding is identified in Fiscal Years 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Joint Participation Agreement
(JPA) has been approved for deferred reimbursement. This approval means that work can begin
before funds are appropriated, but reimbursement will not be made until those years in which the
funds are officially available. According to the JPA, County participation is estimated at
$911,056 from Airport funding, and $6,234,177 will be requested from the FAA under Airport
Improvement Program entitlement or discretionary funding. Total project cost currently is
estimated at $10,949,464.00.
OPTIONS: Approve, Table or Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends acceptance of the deferred reimbursement JPA
and authorize the Chairman to sign by approval of the attached Signature Resolution.
