Date: March 22, 2010
Item/Subject: Resolve, Authorizing the Airport to Accept and Appropriate a Grant in the amount of
$2,174,163 from the Federal Aviation Administration and $57,072 from the Maine Department of
Transportation for the construction of Phase III of the cargo aircraft parking apron.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: The Airport Committee reviewed and recommends Council approval of the
Airport's request for authorization to accept and appropriate grant funds from the Federal
Aviation Administration and the Maine Department of Transportation for the re -construction of
the Cargo Aircraft Parking Apron. This is the aircraft parking area located between the
International Arrivals building and the Joint -Use Military aircraft parking area. The area still has
the original pavement constructed by the military and it has exceeded its useful life expectancy.
This area is a safety hazard due to the potential for aircraft to ingest pavement debris into
aircraft engines. The grant will fund 95% of the project with the remaining 5% being split
between the Airport and the State.

Re: Accepting and Appropriating Grant Funds from the FAA
Date: March 9, 2010
The Airport received notice on Friday that the Airport needs to enter into a grant agreement
with the FAA for the funding for the Phase III Cargo Reconstruction project and return the
documents to the FAA no later than March 16th. The quick turn -around time is tied to the fact
that the FAA is operating under a continuing resolution. In order to meet that deadline the
grant documents must be signed and returned to the FAA prior to receiving formal Council
authorization to accept the funds.
We have discussed this project on numerous occasions and as you may recall, this work
consists of milling and removal of approximately 11,500 SY of existing concrete and bituminous
pavement, trench drains, and manhole structures that are over 50 years old. At this point, the
area has reached the point of being unsafe for aircraft operations. In addition to the
replacement of the items previously listed, the area will also have new aircraft fuel pits, new
drainage structures and pipes, electrical wiring and conduit, new oil/water separators and new
pavement markings and high mast light towers.
As an AIP project, 95% of the funding will come from the FAA, 2.5% from the State and 2.5%
from the Airport. The matching funds have been identified for use by BIA and are included in
the Airport's budget.
The Airport requests Committee authorization to proceed as outlined. The Airport also requests
the Committee recommend the Council ratify staff action at the next Council meeting.
