Item No.
Date: September 9, 2009
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the Airport to Accept Grants in the Amount of $2,430,000 from the
Federal Aviation Administration and $60,750 from the Maine Department of
Transportation for Phase 1 of the Cargo Aircraft Parking Apron Reconstruction Project.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary:
The finance Committee reviewed and recommends Council approval of the Airport's request for
authorization to accept a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration 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.
