Title
Approval of grant application for the replacement of the airport Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI)
Body
SUMMARY: The current PAPI lights have required much maintenance during the past couple of years and have been placed out of service for several months due to the mounting of the cabinets. The Engineers working on the ALP have said that the PAPI will be flagged by the FAA during the ALP approval process due to the mounting.
The Director of Engineering requests approval of a grant application for the replacement of the airport PAPI. The application will be two parts with the first request being for the full Engineering Professional services and once the City receives the bids for the construction, the second request will be for contract grant amendment request in the amount of the bid rounded to the highest $100.
It is believed that the grant will be 95 % TDOT and 5 % City.
