Title, Resolve
Appropriating a Grant in the Amount of $237,906 from the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport
Improvement Plan (AIP) Program, Grant # 74 at Bangor International Airport (BGR).
This Resolve will authorize the appropriation of a grant in the amount of $237,906 from the FAA
under the Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) program, grant # 74. If approved, this grant will be used
for LED runway edge light fixture replacement at the airport. The existing runway edge lights were
installed in 2002-2003 and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. This project will include
installation of new baseplates, frangible couplings, fixtures, gaskets, transformers and hardware.
Through Order 20-151, the Council approved a contract with Moulison Electric for this project. This
project is included in BGR’s FAA approved 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This grant will
fund 100% of the eligible costs of the project, with $74,394 coming from airport funds for the
ineligible costs.
As this is an appropriations resolve, it requires two meetings. A Council Order regarding this grant is
also on the 8/24 Council agenda as an emergency order, given the short period of time we have to
accept the grant.
