<br /> 1 <br /> Airport <br /> Capital projects for the Eugene Airport are outlined in and structured by the Eugene Airport <br /> Master Plan Update and the five year Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Capital <br /> Improvement Plan. These documents provide for the planned development of the Airport <br /> property and facilities to accommodate future aviation demand while remaining compatible with <br /> the environment and community development. Project priorities are determined through a <br /> process based on the adopted Master Plan Update and FAA approval. The Airport Advisory } <br /> Committee provides direction and citizen input for this process. <br /> Project Categories <br /> Airport projects are described in one of three ways: <br /> 1. Site and Facility Improvements -Projects in this category include modifications and/or % <br /> additions to existing facilities to meet operational, safety and cost-efficiency goals. <br /> 2. New Capital Facilities -These projects result in a new asset. <br /> 3. Preservation and Maintenance -These projects preserve, maintain, and repair the <br /> investment in existing airport facilities. <br /> The primary project for the Airport will be the completion of the Parallel Runway and associated <br /> work including the closure of Runway 3/21 and the realignment of a section of Airport Road. <br /> There were two capital projects put out to bid that were postponed until the next construction <br /> j season including the taxiway pavement rehab project and the snow removal equipment building <br /> addition. The FY06 program includes paving preservation, installing an emergency generator at <br /> the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Station, and replacing the HVAC system in the terminal. <br /> Smaller projects include a variety of building maintenance and preservation projects, electrical <br /> improvements and emergency generators, and new baggage handling equipment. <br /> Funding <br /> j Eugene Airport's capital projects receive the majority of their funding from FAA grants. The <br /> FAA grants include money from both an Entitlement Fund and a Discretionary Fund. Levels of , <br /> available Discretionary Funds are subject to Congressional legislation and are subject to the - <br /> FAA's priority system. The balance of funding comes from the Municipal Airport Fund, which <br /> is derived from airport parking fees,- terminal rents, fees from other operations, and Passenger <br /> Facility Charges (PFCs). The events of September 11, 2001 affected economic conditions at the <br /> j Airport and some projects were delayed or deferred. While the current Airport CIP is fully <br /> ~ F, <br /> funded, some projects are being segregated into smaller projects and spread out over a longer <br /> period of time to reflect the annual funding limitations. As the Airport retires its debt (FY08), it <br /> will be better positioned to advance plans previously anticipated to meet both preservation <br /> projects and new capital investments. <br /> C- <br /> t <br /> City of Eugene 2006 - 2011 Capital Improvement Program t <br /> i <br /> 38 <br /> _ <br /> _ <br /> <br />
