Analysis
Shortly after the airport's newest flight school began operations an issue was discovered causing a bottle neck of departing aircraft at the south end of Taxiway A and the associated holding bay. The design and construction of Taxiway A and Holding Bay Extension at the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport will alleviate the issue and allow aircraft traffic to flow and takeoff in a more expedient manner. TxDOT's estimated total project cost including engineering, design and construction is $1,440,300 with the City's responsibility being 20% of the total project cost currently estimated to be $288,060. The City's responsibility for the engineering and design portions of the project is estimated to be $39,000 in FY 2018 and the remaining $249,060 will be for the construction of Taxiway A and Holding Bay Extension in FY 2019.
Financial Consideration
Funds are available for the design of Taxiway A and Holding Bay Extension at the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, in the amount of $39,000, in the Airport Capital Projects Fund (505292) to WO# 01817001 (Taxiway A and Holding Bay Extension). Funds for the construction of said project, in the amount of $249,060 will be part of the FY 2018/2019 Proposed Airport Capital Projects Fund.
