ITEM NO. 12-340
Date: October 22, 2012
Item/Subject: Resolve, Accepting and Appropriating a grant in the amount of $175,037 from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an Airport Master Plan update.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: The Airport is requesting authorization to accept and appropriate a grant in the amount of
$175,037 from the Federal Aviation Administration for an Airport Master Plan update. The previous Airport
Master Plan update for BGR was completed in 2002, and prior to that the Plan was updated in 1990. An airport
master plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and will typically describe short, medium and long term
development plans to meet future aviation demand. A master plan will assist in providing a good approach to
the planning process, with an emphasis on goal setting, proper construction planning, guidance for
compliance with environmental requirements, and helps to address some security issues. This project is
included in BGR's FAA approved five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This grant will fund 90% of the
project with the additional 10% coming from the airport.
