THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action will approve a budget resolution to provide additional funding for the North Airfield Pavements and the EMAS Beds project (“North Runway Rehabilitation”) at FLL.
The current budget for the North Runway Rehabilitation project is $72,000,000. During the design phase for the project, several design enhancements and additional details were developed by the Design Consultant and the Broward County Aviation Department ("BCAD"), which contributed to the increase in the project cost. Some of these changes include the following: widening of the keel section from 60’ to 75’, raising the centerline of the runway by 6”, additional upgrade for airfield lighting system and signage, additional drainage improvements, procurement of equipment for airfield maintenance and additional repairs for Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") facilities and Runway status lights.
This action approves a budget resolution to increase the project budget in the amount of $18,000,000, for a total project cost of $90,000,000. The total amount includes expenditures for design, construction, construction phase services and procurement of EMAS beds.
BCAD anticipates receiving funding from the Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") and the FAA in support of this project.
