BACKGROUND:
On May 18, 2021 City Council approved a grant from FDOT to fund the re-painting of airfield markings on Runway 18/36 at the Ocala Airport.
On July 16, 2021 City Council approved a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for fog sealing pavement and joints at the Ocala Airport.
On October 5, 2021 City Council approved the first amendment to the grant that facilitated additional paint for a total project cost at that time of $211,150.
The FDOT is now participating in the fog sealing of the runway as part of the airfield markings project, which was originally funded in full by the FAA. Due to material shortages and scheduling issues the cost of the fog sealing has escalated, and the FAA grant does not cover those increases. This second amendment covers those additional costs ($80,400, of which FDOT is providing $64,320).
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
* Repainting of airfield markings is a periodic maintenance item at the Ocala International Airport.
* The City is utilizing the FDOT Airport Runway and Taxiway Airfield Marking Contract # BEA97 awarded to Florida Airfield Maintenance, JV. All quantity prices are established against the statewide bid.
* The Airport Advisory Board reviewed the project at its June 2020 meeting and had no objections moving forward.
* Paint work will be conducted at night starting April 18th, 2022. Fog sealing of the runway will be conducted at the conclusion of the painting phase.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This amendment provides supplemental funding as follows:
