Summary Explanation and Background:
Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI’s) are a navigation aid to pilots during the landing phase of flight. They provide pilots with enhanced situational awareness as a visual aid in finding the correct glideslope to land on a runway. The PAPI’s on runway 14/32 have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. The replacement of the PAPI’s will increase safety of the Primary runway at Valkaria Airport.
The total project cost including design and construction is estimated to be approximately $300,000. The FAA intends to provide 90% of the total cost for design and construction based on bids received. The FDOT is providing 8% of the total construction cost only based on the estimated project cost. Valkaria Airport is providing a local match of 10% for design phase and 2% for the construction phase of the project.
Funding Breakdown:
• Total Estimated Project Cost: $ 300,000 (Design & Construction)
• FAA Participation - $ 270,000 (90% Design & Construction)
• Maximum FDOT Participation - $ 24,000 or 8% of Construction Phase Only (Whichever is lower)
• Valkaria Airport - $ 11,000 (10% Design & 2% Construction)
