Florida Aviation PROJECT HANDBOOK A Handbook of State Funding Information for Florida Airports 2018 2018 UPDATE: IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REMEMBER!!! 1. If your airport is federally obligated, coordinate with the FAA regardless of whether or not they are participating financially in the project (same with state; even if FDOT is not paying, coordinate with FDOT). S T C 2. Feasibility vs. Justification—there is a difference! Just because you can do something E J doesn't mean the need actually exists. O R P 3. For runway rehabilitation/reconstruction projects, check the latest requirements for updating the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and Pavement Classification Number (PCN). 4. Federal (NEPA) environmental laws apply to all projects at federally obligated airports. 5. Respect the process—Sponsors should work through their district aviation coordinators; Circumventing your District contact results in delays and is counterproductive from a project programming standpoint. 6. Keep your JACIP up-to-date—add new projects, amend existing projects, and delete obsolete projects; JACIP should contain accurate project descriptions to facilitate ASO G responses to requests from statewide leadership. N I D 7. Costs incurred prior to the execution of a PTGA by the Department are not eligible for N reimbursement regardless of FAA participation. U F 8. Regular FDOT funding drawdowns are required to secure future grants (Spend your money!). 9. Attend your regional CFASPP meeting to learn about new/changing FDOT aviation grant program policies, procedures and requirements, key dates and alternative funding opportunities. 10. FAA must review all Master Plan/ALP projects (FAA funded or not). Y R 11. The Consultant selection process cannot include “local preference” points if an airport O T plans to use the consultant on federally funded projects. Similarly, an Airport Sponsor A L cannot consider local preference when more than 50% of construction costs are funded by U the Department. G E R 12. Airport closures for a non-aeronautical event must be pre-approved—applies to 5K races, R car shows, drag races, etc.; All airport closures at state-obligated airports must be E H approved by FDOT and, if federally-obligated, with the FAA Orlando-ADO. T O 13. Diversion of airport-generated revenue to other sponsor-related (County, City) accounts/projects is strictly prohibited. 2018 FLORIDA AVIATION PROJECT HANDBOOK Errata Sheet Correction Location in Date of Description of Correction Rationale No. Document Change Added “2018 Update: Important items to Remember!” After Cover Updated data August 3, 2018 1 page after cover sheet to highlight current issues.
