AGENDA CAPTION:
Consider action on a Resolution authorizing acceptance of an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant offer from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division in the estimated amount of $1,050,000 for an Airport Master Plan update and authorizing the execution of documents relative to the acceptance of the grant.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this item is to authorize acceptance of an AIP grant offer from theTxDOT Aviation Division in the total amount of $1,050,000 (including an Airport Sponsor matching share of 10%, equal to $105,000) to conduct an Airport Master Plan (AMP) update.

An Airport AMP is used to guide the development of an airport, including planning for grant-funded infrastructure improvements. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires airports that receive federal funding to maintain a current AMP. Addison Airport's most recent AMP update was conducted in 2014-2016 and approved in July 2016. The airport has experienced rapid redevelopment since 2016, which surpassed the pace of development denoted in the 2016 AMP, necessitating an AMP update. After discussion with TxDOT Aviation, the provisional scope of this AMP update project includes:
  1. Preparing a Master Plan consistent with current FAA Advisory Circulars and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), to include incorporating sustainability and recycling, reuse, and waste reduction.
  2. The Airport Layout Plan (ALP) drawing, which will include the following:
    • Coversheet
    • Airport layout drawing
    • Data sheet
    • Terminal area plan
    • Airport airspace drawing
    • Inner portion of the approach surface drawing
    • On-airport land use drawing
    • Off-airport land use drawing
    • Airport property map (Exhibit A)
    • Runway departure surface drawing
    • Utility drawing
    • Airport access plans
    • Other sheets as necessary
  3. Incorporating FAA Airport Graphical Information System (AGIS) requirements and data collection as needed.
  4. Developing a Capital Improvement Plan, including a recommended phasing plan and financial overview that considers local, state, federal, and alternative funding sources.
  5. Preparing and updating the airport property map (Exhibit A) consistent with current FAA Advisory Circulars and Standard Operating Procedures.
  6. Establishing phased goals for airport improvements and development based on a forecast for aviation demand and current and future critical aircraft.
  7. Considering the emergence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Advanced Air Mobility.
  8. Developing a Height Hazard Zoning Map incorporating the airport’s protected surfaces.
  9. Updating the airport’s Noise Exposure Map (NEM). 
  10. Conducting a Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) alternatives analysis to determine the most cost-effective approach for mitigation of incompatible land uses within the current RPZs.
  11. Conducting an airport drainage study.
  12. Reviewing existing Runway Safety Area (RSA) determinations and updating as needed, per FAA SOP 8.00. A list of follow-on projects or studies are a deliverable of this task.
     
The project will begin with consultant selection. Selection will be made by a committee composed of Town of Addison staff with the guidance of TxDOT Aviation. The AMP update is generally expected to require 18 to 24 months to complete.
RECOMMENDATION:
Administration recommends approval.
