Background: It will be necessary that the Board approve, by resolution, an application for Federal Assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on or before April 29, 2008. Current policy within the FAA also requires that a project be complete, through the design and bid process, prior to issuance of an award for Federal Assistance Grant Funding.  In order to be included in the 2008 grant cycle, bids need to be opened by June 4, 2008.  
 
Estimated project cost is $513,000.  Anticipated FAA funding at 95% would consist of $487,350.  Other State funding, through the Aeronautics Matching Grant, at 2.25% would amount to $11,542 resulting in a Local Match, through reserves within the Placerville Airport fund, of $14,108.  
 
Reason for Recommendation: Approval of this item will allow the County to continue with the Federal Aviation  Administration's (FAA) recommended lighting improvements and provide additional safety measures with the installation of the AWOS.
 
General Services is ready to advertise the Bid pending approval by the Board. County Counsel has reviewed and approved the bid documents.  A copy of the bid documents are on file with the Board Clerk's office.
 
Action to be taken following Board approval: General Services will advertise the project with bids due no later than 2:00 PM on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, and will return to the Board for award of the contract.
