SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho State Division of Aeronautics is accepting applications for the Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP). The IAAP will fund projects that did not receive a high National Priority
Rating from the Federal Aviation Administration. Such projects may include snow removal equipment, buildings, fencing, and other hard to fund projects. The State has a recommended a
funding request limit of $300,000 and plans on funding projects on a 90% State/10% local split. Final grant amounts and financing shares will be announced by the State as all grant
applications are received and reviewed.
Staff has identified the need to purchase snow removal equipment due to the aging fleet that has succeeded the expected operational use/life cycle. The current snow blower unit is a
28 year old Rolba 3,000 tons per hour (tph) blower. The Rolba has proven unreliable in the past few years with frequent breakdowns, requiring longer airport closures for snow removal.
The new equipment would consist of a front-end loader mounted snow blower unit capable of at least 3000 tons per hour. Based upon similar equipment purchased at other airports, the
expected cost is $280,000 - $260,000 in equipment purchases, and $20,000 for administrative costs (specifications, bid package, etc).
Attachment: Application for Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Application for the Idaho Airport Aid Program for new snow removal equipment and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
