Body
 
WHEREAS, due to signs of storm drainage failure at the Foley Municipal Airport, Volkert, Inc. conducted a drainage study (Supplemental Agreement #13) that was approved by Resolution No. 14-0347-RES, and,
WHEREAS, results of this investigation have been categorized as "Critical", "Needs Improvement", or "Satisfactory" and structures described as "Critical" are in need of immediate repair and/or replacement while those described as "Needs Improvement" are in need of repair, but are not at risk of ultimate failure or causing a safety hazard to airfield operations, and,
WHEREAS, the approximate cost for Volkert's engineering fees plus the cost to repair or replace critical structures total $428,460 and the approximate cost for engineering and repair or replacement of structures that need improvement total $24,120, for a total of $452,580 and,
WHEREAS, the planned Federal participation rate is 90% but the maximum amount the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration expects to fund for this project this year is $160,705 and
