BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: January 21, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Sunil Harman SUBJECT: FDOT Grant Amendment for Exit Lane Security DEPARTMENT: Airport BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve acceptance of an amended Florida Department of Transportation grant to add an unmanned passenger exit lane security controls system at Northwest Florida Regional Airport. BACKGROUND: This Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement (grant) adds an additional security surveillance project to the original Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) approved by the Board on September 3, 2013. The original JPA provided security surveillance projects for Destin and Bob Sikes Airports. This additional project will further enhance security by preventing access to the secured area and allow the replacement of a security person responsible for physical control of the arriving passenger exit lane at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport. The estimated annual cost for the Airport providing this coverage should TSA cease to do so, is about $130,000. The grant provides up to$1,041,441.00 of the estimated cost for these three projects estimated at $1,301,801.00. It should be noted that the FDOT/County cost share will be 80/20% for the Bob Sikes and Destin projects, but 50/50% for the exit lane project at the commercial airport. This grant was previously coordinated with the County Attorney by the attached e-mail on August 26, 2013. He confirms that coordination by e-mail dated January 14, 2014. The only change is the revision to the scope of work to include the exit lane controls project. OPTIONS: Approve, Disapprove, Table. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends acceptance of the Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement and approval of a signature resolution authorizing the Chairman to sign the amended grant.
