Federal Aviation Administration Grants for the San Antonio International Airport
SUMMARY:
Consideration of three Ordinances related to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) for the San Antonio International Airport:
A. An Ordinance authorizing the submission of a grant application and the acceptance of funds for FAA AIP grants for two projects: Runway 13R Rehabilitation and Perimeter Road Reconstruction.

The FAA grant is in the amount of $6,060,000.00 with the City's share of $1,515,000.00 to be funded from Airport funds.
C. An Ordinance amending the professional services agreement with THC, Inc. (THC), the Acoustical Treatment Consultant, that manages the noise abatement program including all design, construction, public relations, and legal components subject to receipt and execution of the FAA grant offer for the RATP.
