Once the project is complete, the Department must wait for federal grant funding to become available from other completed projects before issuing an amendment. This grant amendment is required to fund an emergency repair of a sink hole and failing drainage pipes beneath an aircraft parking apron within the project site resulting in additional 414 linear feet of drainage pipe replacement. This emergency drainage repair necessitated a revision to the overall construction strategy used for this apron project(SBG-12-17-2016). In lieu of milling and overlaying the asphalt pavement in the construction area, the apron was reclaimed to a depth of 12 inches and the base materials were augmented with stone to provide a stable base to be repaved. This action added approximately 4,800 square yards of reclaimed area and an additional 2 inches of asphalt to the project. The Department of Transportation proposes to accept the Federal funds for this project as a pass through to the Nashua Airport Authority in accordance with RSA 422:15. State participation in the amount of $3,663.28(5% of the amendment project cost) is also requested. The Nashua Airport Authority will participate in the amount of $3,663.28(5% of the amendment project cost). The total cost for this amendment is $73,265.51. The Contract has been approved by the Attorney General as to form and execution, and the Department has verified that the necessary funds are available. Copies of the fully executed contract are on file at the Secretary of State's Office and the Department of Administrative Service's Office, and subsequent to Governor and Council approval will be on file at the Department of Transportation. In the event that the Federal Funds become no longer available, General Funds will not be requested to support this program. In accordance with the FAA grant assurances C- Sponsor Certifications, Responsibility and Authority of the Sponsor, the grant funds must be immediately available for the project to execute the grant offer; therefore all funding for this project is encumbered in the first fiscal year. Please note that the state funds are from the General Fund and have been previously approved in HB25, 2013 195:1 XVI-A.l Capital Budget. Sincerely, Victoria F.
