The location of this Project is on the southwest corner of the Airport (see attached map), and will connect the currently -ongoing construction
of Phase I of the Project to existing Taxiway Delta. This taxiway extension will eventually provide a connecting surface at the midpoint of the runway,
greater ease of access to tenants on the west side of the Airport, and allow for better overall operational efficiency. This Project also provides
additional public protection along the west perimeter of the Airport by providing a larger protection zone that will enhance the margin of safety on
airport property ground in accordance with Federal Aviation Advisory Circulars. Taxiway Papa construction will be divided into multiple phases to
match available funding. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Discretionary Grant funding is being used for this project.
Mario Sinacola and Sons Excavating, Inc. is in compliance with the City's DBE Program by committing to 14% DBE participation on this Project.
The City's DBE goal on this Project is 14%.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
