Ratification of Airport Grant Application With Federal Aviation Administration for Taxiway D and A1 Improvement Project at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport is requesting $646,999.00 of the allocated Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) eligible federal share of project cost from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Taxiway D and A1 Improvement Project.
Taxiway D and A1 was constructed in 1964 and is showing signs of increased deterioration. Additionally, the recent Decoupling of Runway 3/21 CIP project altered the taxiing pattern of aircraft which now directs aircraft to Taxiway A1. The pavement needs to be rehabilitated to accommodate the additional traffic.
Grant Policy 15-01 provides an allowance for the County Administrator to approve submittal of grant applications when time constraints exist. Due to FAA time deadline constraints, the County Administrator signed the Application which was submitted on June 26, 2025. In accordance with Grant Policy 15-01, the grant application is being brought to the Board for ratification.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None at this time. Once this project is awarded, this project will receive $646,999 from the FAA towards design and construction to support Taxiway A1 and D Rehabilitation. There is a 2.5% match $17,027 required that will be funded by Airport Reserves. The Airport also expects FDOT participation in this project of 2.5%.
LEGAL NOTE
The Board is authorized to act on this matter pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes.
