Title
Approval of grant contract for Operations Data Counter Program
Body
SUMMARY: For planning purposes, development of the Airport Layout Plan relies heavily on determining an airport’s existing critical aircraft, which is defined as the most demanding aircraft that uses the airport. Determination of the critical aircraft is accomplished by counting aircraft operations. TDOT Aeronautics is offering a grant for the purchase and administrative reporting services to determine the critical aircraft. Staff requests approval of the grant contract in the amount of $34,000 with a local match of 5%. City Council approved the grant application, which was in the amount of $56,960. The amount of the grant contract is lower due to negotiations with the engineering firm to decrease their scope and cost, but this does not affect the project.
