guidelines following completion of project.
3. The maximum obligation of the United States payable under this offer shall be
$798,966.00 (Amount C).
This grant should not be construed as block grant funds for the Sponsor, but as a grant for

State to provide funding to complete the approved work items of this grant and not to
amend the scope of work to include items outside of the current determined needs of this
project. Scope of work may be amended as necessary to fulfill the unforeseen needs of this
specific development project within the spirit of the approved scope, subject to the
availability of state, federal, and/or local funds.

dollar amounts identified in this Agreement and any amendments, without the consent of
the Sponsor.
Payment of the United States share of the allowable project costs will be made in
accordance with the provisions of such regulations and procedures as the State and the

fmal audit of the total amount of allowable project costs and settlement will be made for
any upward or downward adjustments to the Federal share of costs.

application, including all understandings and assurances contained therein, and directing
and authorizing the person identified as the official
representative of the applicant to act in connection with the application and to provide
such additional information as may be required.
b. Private Sponsor: It has legal authority to apply for this grant and to finance and carry out
the proposed project and comply with all terms, conditions, and assurances of this grant
agreement. It shall designate an official representative and shall in writing direct and authorize
that person to file this application, including all understandings and assurances contained
therein; to act in connection with this application; and to provide such additional
information as may be required.
3. Sponsor Fund Availability. It has sufficient funds available for that portion of
the project costs which are not to be paid by the United States. It has sufficient funds available to assure
operation and maintenance of items funded under this grant agreement which it will own or control.
4 Good Title.
a. It, a public agency or the Federal government, holds good title, satisfactory to the
Secretary, to the landing area of the airport or site thereof, or will give assurance satisfactory
to the Secretary that good title will be acquired.
b. For noise compatibility program projects to be carried out on the property of the sponsor, it
holds good title satisfactory to the Secretary to that portion of the property upon which
Federal funds will be expended or will give assurance to the Secretary that good title will be
obtained.
5 Preserving Rights and Powers.
a. It will not take or permit any action which would operate to deprive it of
any of the rights and powers necessary to perform any or all of the terms, conditions, and
assurances in this grant agreement without the written approval of the Secretary, and will act
promptly to acquire, extinguish or
modify any outstanding rights or claims of right of others which would interfere with such
performance by the sponsor. This shall be done in a manner acceptable to the Secretary.
b. It will not sell, lease, encumber, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any part of its title or
other interests in the property shown on Exhibit A to this application or, for a noise
compatibility program project, that portion of the property upon which Federal funds have
been expended, for the duration of the terms, conditions, and assurances in this grant
agreement without approval by the Secretary. If the transferee is found by the Secretary to
be eligible under Title 49, United States Code, to assume the obligations of this grant agreement
and to have the power, authority, and financial resources to carry out all such obligations,
the sponsor shall insert in the contract or document transferring or disposing of the
sponsor's interest, and make binding upon the transferee all of the terms, conditions, and
assurances contained in this grant agreement.
C. For all noise compatibility program projects which are to be carried out by another unit of local
government or are on property owned by a unit of local government other than the sponsor,
it will enter into an agreement with that government. Except as otherwise specified by the
Secretary, that agreement shall obligate that government to the same terms, conditions, and
assurances that would be applicable to it if it applied directly to the FAA for a grant to
undertake the noise compatibility program project. That agreement and changes thereto
must be satisfactory to the Secretary. It will take steps to enforce this agreement against the
local government if there is substantial non-compliance with the terms of the agreement.
d. For noise compatibility program projects to be carried out on privately owned property, it
will enter into an agreement with the owner of that property which includes provisions
specified by the Secretary. It will take steps to enforce this agreement against the property
owner whenever there is substantial non-compliance with the terms of the agreement.
e. If the sponsor is a private sponsor, it will take steps satisfactory to the Secretary to ensure
that the airport will continue to function as a public -use airport in accordance with these
19 of 35
f.
g•
assurances for the duration of these assurances.
If an arrangement is made for management and operation of the airport by any agency or
person other than the sponsor or an employee of the sponsor, the sponsor will reserve
sufficient rights and authority to insure that the airport will be operated and maintained in
accordance Title 49, United States Code, the regulations and the terms, conditions and
assurances in this grant agreement and shall insure that such arrangement also requires
compliance therewith.
Sponsors of commercial service airports will not permit or enter into any arrangement
that results in permission for the owner or tenant of a property used as a residence, or
zoned for residential use, to taxi an aircraft between that property and any location on
airport. Sponsors of general aviation airports entering into any arrangement that results
in permission for the owner of residential real property adjacent to or near the airport
must comply with the requirements of Sec. 136 of Public Law 112-95 and the sponsor
assurances.
6. Consistency with Local Plans. The project is reasonably consistent with plans (existing at the time of
submission of this application) of public agencies that are authorized by the State in which the project is
located to plan for the development of the area surrounding the airport.
7. Consideration of Local Interest. It has given fair consideration to the interest of communities in or near
where the project may be located.
8. Consultation with Users. In making a decision to undertake any airport development project
under Title 49, United States Code, it has undertaken reasonable consultations with affected parties
using the airport at which project is proposed.
9. Public Hearings. In projects involving the location of an airport, an airport runway, or a major
runway extension, it has afforded the opportunity for public hearings for the purpose of considering the
economic, social, and environmental effects of the airport or runway location and its consistency with
goals and objectives of such planning as has been carried out by the community and it shall, when
requested by the Secretary, submit a copy of the transcript of such hearings to the Secretary. Further,
for such projects, it has on its management board either voting representation from the communities
where the project is located or has advised the communities that they have the right to petition the
Secretary concerning a proposed project.
10. Air and Water Quality Standards. In projects involving airport location, a major runway
extension, or runway location it will provide for the Governor of the state in which the project is
located to certify in writing to the Secretary that the project will be located, designed, constructed, and
operated so as to comply with applicable air and water quality standards. In any case where such
standards have not been approved and where applicable air and water quality standards have been
promulgated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, certification shall be obtained
from such Administrator. Notice of certification or refusal to certify shall be provided within sixty days
after the project application has been received by the Secretary.
11. Pavement Preventive Maintenance. With respect to a project approved after January 1, 1995, for the
replacement or reconstruction of pavement at the airport, it assures or certifies that it has implemented
an effective airport pavement maintenance -management program and it assures that it will use such
program for the useful life of any pavement constructed, reconstructed or repaired with Federal

safety equipment required for certification of such airport under section 44706 of Title 49, United
States Code, and all the security equipment required by rule or regulation, and has provided for
20 of 35
access to the passenger enplaning and deplaning area of such airport to passengers
enplaning and deplaning from aircraft other than air carrier aircraft.
13 Accounting System, Audit, and Record Keeping Requirements.
a. It shall keep all project accounts and records which fully disclose the amount and disposition
by the recipient of the proceeds of this grant, the total cost of the project in connection with
which this grant is given or used, and the amount or nature of that portion of the cost of the
project supplied by other sources, and such other financial records pertinent to the project. The
accounts and records shall be kept in accordance with an accounting system that will facilitate
an effective audit in accordance with the Single Audit Act of 1984.
b. It shall make available to the Secretary and the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of
their duly authorized representatives, for the purpose of audit and examination, any books,
documents, papers, and records of the recipient that are pertinent to this grant. The Secretary may
require that an appropriate audit be conducted by a recipient. In any case in which an
independent audit is made of the accounts of a sponsor relating to the disposition of the
proceeds of a grant or relating to the project in connection with which this grant was given or
used, it shall file a certified copy of such audit with the Comptroller General of the United States
not later than six (6) months following the close of the fiscal year for which the audit was

positions), preference shall be given to Vietnam era veterans, Persian Gulf veterans, Afghanistan -
Iraq war veterans, disabled veterans, and small business concerns owned and controlled by
disabled veterans as defined in Section 47112 of Title 49, United States Code. However, this
preference shall apply only where the individuals are available and qualified to perform the work
to which the employment relates.
Conformity to Plans and Specifications. It will execute the project subject to
plans, specifications, and schedules approved by the Secretary. Such plans, specifications, and schedules
shall be submitted to the Secretary prior to commencement of site preparation, construction, or other
performance under this grant agreement, and, upon approval of the Secretary, shall be incorporated into
this grant agreement. Any modification to the approved plans, specifications, and
schedules shall also be subject to approval of the Secretary, and incorporated into this grant agreement.
Construction Inspection and Approval. It will provide and maintain competent
technical supervision at the construction site throughout the project to assure that the work conforms to
the plans, specifications, and schedules approved by the Secretary for the project. It shall subject the
construction work on any project contained in an approved project application to inspection and approval
by the Secretary and such work shall be in accordance with regulations and procedures prescribed by the
Secretary. Such regulations and procedures shall require such cost and progress reporting by the
sponsor or sponsors of such project as the Secretary shall deem necessary.
18. Planning Projects. In carrying out planning projects:
a. It will execute the project in accordance with the approved program narrative contained in the
project application or with the modifications similarly approved.

any part of the project.
h. It understands and agrees that the Secretary's approval of this project grant or the Secretary's
approval of any planning material developed as part of this grant does not constitute or imply
any assurance or commitment on the part of the Secretary to approve any pending or future
application for a Federal airport grant.
14 Operation and Maintenance.
a The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical
users of the airport, other than facilities owned or controlled by the United States, shall be
operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum
standards as may be required or prescribed by applicable Federal, state and local agencies for
maintenance and operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon which
would interfere with its use for airport purposes. It will suitably operate and maintain the
airport and all facilities thereon or connected therewith, with due regard to climatic and flood
conditions. Any proposal to temporarily close the airport for non -aeronautical purposes must first
be approved by the Secretary. In furtherance of this assurance, the sponsor will have in effect
arrangements for-
1) Operating the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever required;
2) Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport conditions,
including temporary conditions; and
3) Promptly notifying airmen of any condition affecting aeronautical use of the airport.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require that the airport be operated for
aeronautical use during temporary periods when snow, flood or other climatic
conditions interfere with such operation and maintenance. Further, nothing herein shall
be construed as requiring the maintenance, repair, restoration, or replacement of any
structure or facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God
or other condition or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items
that it owns or controls upon which Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation. It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as
is required to protect instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum
flight altitudes) will be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or
lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation
of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use. It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of
zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities
and purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In
addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit any
22 of 35
change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport,
of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable teens and without
unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including
commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at
the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any
aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and
enforce provisions requiring the contractor to-
1) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory,
basis to all users thereof, and
2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service,
provided that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory
discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and
other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed -based operators making the same or
similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air canier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed -based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non tenant, or subtenant of another air
carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,
regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and
substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air caniers
which make similar use of such airport and utilize sunilar facilities, subject to reasonable
classifications such as tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory caniers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport
provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on
air carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm,
or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft
with its own employees [including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may
choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this
assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the
furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the
sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to
be met by all users ofthe airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the
airport.
1. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the
airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the
civil aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by
any person providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this
paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a
single fixed -based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed -based
operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would require the
reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed -based
23 of 35
operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or
permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any
aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental
and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier
operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not
conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft,
sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the grant
of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the
airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the
particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection.
No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project
for which a grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Aiiport and Airway Improvement
Act of 1982, the Federal Aiiport Act or the Aiiport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be
included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after
December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the local airport
system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and
which are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property; or for
noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport. The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1) If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982,
by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes
controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the airport
owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the
irport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all
revenues generated by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not
apply.
2) If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public
sponsor and provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation on
the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from the sale. This is
conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the remaining
unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of any airport improvement grant made to the private
owner for any purpose other than land acquisition on or after October 1, 1996,
plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport
improvement grant
made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3) Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production,
lease, or other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at Section 47102 of title 49 United States
Code), if the FAA determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Sec. 813 of Public
Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will
direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the use of
airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or
operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United States Code and any other
applicable provision of law, including any regulation promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49, United States Code.
24 of 35
26. Reports and Inspections. It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary
may reasonably request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the
public at reasonable times and places a report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by
the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents
affecting the airport, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and other
instruments, available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon
reasonable request;
c. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating to the project
and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and assurances of this grant agreement
including deeds, leases, agreements, regulations, and other instruments, available for inspection by
any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and make available to
the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
1) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for
which each such payment was made; and
2) all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the
amount of compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft. It will make available all of the facilities of the
airport developed with Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of
aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times
without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a
reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used.
Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency,
substantial use of an airport by Goverrunent aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such
aircraft are in excess of those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of
the landing areas by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that —
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent
thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government aircraft is
300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airport (the total
movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of
five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities. It will furnish without cost to the Federal Govemment for use in
connection with any air traffic control or air navigation activities, or weather -reporting and communication
activities related to air traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein, or rights in buildings of
the sponsor as the Secretary considers necessary or desirable for construction, operation, and
maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion
thereof will be made available as provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request
from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing (1) boundaries of
the airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries of all offsite areas
owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (2) the
location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures (such as
runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars and roads), including all proposed
extensions and reductions of existing airport facilities; and (3) the location of all existing and
25 of 35
proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon. Such airport layout plans
and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall be subject to the approval of the
Secretary which approval shall be evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized
representative of the Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make
or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities which are not in
conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary and which might, in the
opinion of the Secretary, adversely affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the Secretary detennines
adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of any federally owned, leased, or funded
property on or off the airport and which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as
approved by the Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (1) eliminate
such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2) bear all costs of relocating
such property (or replacement thereof) to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of
restoring such property (or replacement thereof) to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost
of operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or its facilities.
30. Civil Rights. It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the
grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded from participating in
any activity conducted with or benefiting from funds received from this grant. This assurance
obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program,
except where Federal financial assistance is to provide, or is in the form of personal property or real
property or interest therein or structures or improvements thereon in which case the assurance obligates
the sponsor or any transferee for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property
is used for a purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving
the provision of similar services or benefits, or (b) the period during which the sponsor retains ownership
or possession of the property.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes, including land
serving as a noise buffer, it will dispose of the land, when the land is no longer needed for such
purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion of the proceeds of
such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of acquisition of such land
will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another project at the airport, or (2)
transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give
preference to the following, in descending order, (1) reinvestment in an approved noise
compatibility project, (2) reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding
under Section 47117(e) of title 49 United States Code, (3) reinvestment in an approved airport
development project that is eligible for grant funding under Sections 47114, 47115, or 47117 of
title 49 United States Code, (4) transferred to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be
reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project at that airport, and (5) paid to the
Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. If land acquired under a grant for
noise compatibility purposes is leased at fair market value and consistent with noise buffering
purposes, the lease will not be considered a disposal of the land. Revenues derived from such a
lease may be used for an approved airport development project that would otherwise be eligible
for grant funding or any permitted use of airport revenue.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other than noise
compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for airport purposes, dispose of such
land at fair market value or make available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United
States' proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of the proceeds of
such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of
such land will, (1) upon application to the Secretary, be reinvested or transferred to another
eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the
following, in descending order: (1) reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility project,
(2) reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding under Section
47117(e) of title 49 United States Code, (3) reinvestment in an approved airport development
project that is eligible for grant funding under Sections 47114, 47115, or 47117 of title 49
26 of 35
c.
United States Code, (4) transferred to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be
reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project at that airport, and (5) paid to the
Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (1) it
may be needed for aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise
buffer land, and (2) the revenue from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self-
sufficiency of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport operator or
owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be needed for airport purposes if the
Secretary or Federal agency making such grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the
operator or owner of the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to
be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a) (b) or (c) will be subject to the retention or reservation
of any interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes which
are compatible with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services. It will award each contract, or sub -contract for program management,
construction management, planning studies, feasibility studies, architectural services, preliminary
engineering, design, engineering, surveying, mapping or related services with respect to the project in
the same manner as a contract for architectural and engineering services is negotiated under Title IX of the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 or an equivalent qualifications -based
requirement prescribed for or by the sponsor of the airport.
33. Foreign Market Restrictions. It will not allow funds provided under this grant to be used to fund any
project which uses any product or service of a foreign country during the period in which such foreign
country is listed by the United States Trade Representative as denying fair and equitable market
opportunities for products and suppliers of the United States in procurement and construction.
34. Policies, Standards, and Specifications. It will carry out the project in accordance with policies,
standards, and specifications approved by the Secretary including but not limited to the advisory circulars
listed in the Current FAA Advisory Circulars for AIP projects, dated (the latest approved version as of
this grant offer) and included in this grant, and in accordance with applicable state policies, standards, and
specifications approved by the Secretary.
35. Relocation and Real Property Acquisition. (1) It will be guided in acquiring real property, to the
greatest extent practicable under State law, by the land acquisition policies in Subpart B of 49 CFR Part
24 and will pay or reimburse property owners for necessary expenses as specified in Subpart B. (2) It
will provide a relocation assistance program offering the services described in Subpart C and fair and
reasonable relocation payments and assistance to displaced persons as required in Subpart D and E of 49
CFR Part 24. (3) It will make available within a reasonable period oftime prior to displacement,
comparable replacement dwellings to displaced persons in accordance with Subpart E of 49 CFR Part 24.
36. Access By Intercity Buses. The airport owner or operator will permit, to the maximum extent
practicable, intercity buses or other modes of transportation to have access to the airport; however, it has
no obligation to fund special facilities for intercity buses or for other modes of transportation.
37. Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. The recipient shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin or sex in the award and performance of any DOT -assisted contract or in the
administration of its DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The Recipient shall take all
necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure non discrimination in the award and
administration of DOT -assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26,
and as approved by DOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this
program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this
agreement. Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program, the
27 of 35
Department may impose sanctions as provided for under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the
matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986
(31 U.S.C. 3801).
38. Hangar Construction. If the airport owner or operator and a person who owns an aircraft agree that a hangar
is to be constructed at the airport for the aircraft at the aircraft owner's expense, the airport owner or
operator will grant to the aircraft owner for the hangar a long tern lease that is subject to such terns and
conditions on the hangar as the airport owner or operator may impose.
39. Competitive Access.
a.
b.
If the airport owner or operator of a medium or large hub airport (as
defined in section 47102 of title 49, U.S.C.) has been unable to accommodate one or more
requests by an air canier for access to gates or other facilities at that airport in order to allow the
air carrier to provide service to the airport or to expand service at the airport, the airport owner
or operator shall transmit a report to the Secretary that-
1) Describes the requests;
2) Provides an explanation as to why the requests could not be accommodated; and
3) Provides a time frame within which, if any, the airport will be able to accommodate
the requests.
Such report shall be due on either February 1 or August 1 of each year if
the airport has been unable to accommodate the request(s) in the six month period prior to the
applicable due date.

ATTACHMENT E
PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
An effective pavement maintenance management program is one that details the procedures to be followed
to assure that proper pavement maintenance, both preventative and repair, is performed. An airport
sponsor may use any form of inspection program it deems appropriate. The program must, as a minimum,
include the following:
1. Pavement Inventory. The following must be depicted in an appropriate form and level of details:
a. location of all runways, taxiways, and aprons
b. dimensions
c. type of pavement
d. year of construction or most recent rehabilitation
For compliance with the Airport Improvement Program assurances, pavements that have been constructed,
reconstructed, or repaired with Federal financial assistance shall be so depicted.
2. Inspection Schedule.
a. Detailed Inspection. A detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year. If a history
of recorded pavement deterioration is available, i.e. Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey as
set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of
Airport Pavements, the frequency of inspections may be extended to three years.
b. Drive -by Inspection. A drive -by inspection must be perfonned a minimum of once per month
to detect unexpected changes in the pavement condition.
3. Record Keeping. Complete information on the findings of all detailed inspections and other
maintenance performed must be recorded and kept on file for a minimum of five years. The types of
distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. The minimum
information to be recorded is listed below.
a. inspection date
b. location
c. distress types
d. maintenance scheduled or performed
For drive -by inspections, the date of inspection and any maintenance performed must be recorded.
4. Information Retrieval. An airport sponsor may use any form of record keeping it deems appropriate,
so long as the infonnation and records produced by the pavement survey can be retrieved to provide a
report to the FAA as may be required.
5. Reference. Refer to Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport
Pavements, for specific guidelines and procedures for maintaining airport pavements and establishing an effective
maintenance program. Specific types of distress, their probable causes, inspection guideline, and recommended
