BACKGROUND:
On May 18, 2021 City Council approved a grant from FDOT to fund the re-painting of Runway 18/36 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.

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.
