THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action is to approve an FDOT Joint Participation Agreement ("JPA") to provide grant funding in the amount of $4,500,000, which represents the State's share of 50% participation, to assist in the Rehabilitation North Runway 10L-28R-Taxiway Pavement at Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport ("FLL"), with the County funding a match of $4,500,000.
This project seeks to rehabilitate North Runway 10L-28R, ("North Runway"), the Engineering Materials Arresting System beds, two parallel Primary Taxiways ("A" & "B") and to relocate angled Taxiway D. The last rehabilitation of the North Runway occurred in 2004. FDOT conducted its triennial inspection of the airfield in 2015. The North Runway and associated pavements (Taxiways “A” & "B," Taxiway “B8” and connectors) exhibited various pavement distresses. The rehabilitation of the North Runway would ensure that the pavement is kept in good operational condition and would make the North Airfield portion compliant with Federal Aviation Administration standards. The useful life of the rehabilitation is 30 years.
The design Consultant is Kimley-Horn and Associates. Design began in November 2017 with a scheduled completion of August 2018. The construction phase will start in March 2019 with an anticipated North Runway closure beginning in June 2019 and ending in early November 2019. The construction will then continue for the rehabilitation of the Taxiways until September 2020. The project includes construction, construction administration, resident project representation and inspection, testing and close-out phase services. The total cost of the project is $72,000,000. FDOT is funding a total $20,106,250 over the next four years and the remaining balance is to be funded with Passenger Facility Charges.
The JPA was reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney. The JPA does not include the County's standard Agreement provisions, as FDOT requires the County to use its Agreement. |
