Agenda 11/10/2015 Item #16G4 11/10/2015 16.G.4.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Resolution
authorizing execution of Joint Participation Agreement Contract No. G0599 with the Florida
Department of Transportation to fund an Airport Automated Weather Observation System
(AWOS) at the Immokalee Regional Airport, and authorize the associated budget amendments
(Fiscal Impact$108,000 FDOT and $27,000 County).
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board), acting as the Airport Authority,
approve and authorize its Chairman to execute the attached Resolution authorizing execution of Joint
Participation Agreement Contract (JPA) No. G0599 with the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT)to fund an Airport Automated Weather Observation System(AWOS) at the Immokalee Regional
Airport(IMM)in the total amount of 135,000 ($108,000 FDOT and $27,000 Local Match).
CONSIDERATIONS: The Airport Authority has received funding approval from FDOT under the
Joint Airport Capital Improvement Program (JACIP) in the amount of $108,000 to fund an AWOS at
1MM.
An AWOS is a computerized system that automatically measures numerous parameters (such as wind
speed/direction, visibility, precipitation, temperature and dew point), analyzes the data, prepares a
weather observation,and broadcasts the information to pilots in the vicinity of the airport via VHF radio.
The current AWOS system at IMM is over fifteen (15) years old and has numerous outdated/obsolete
parts. The instrumentation tower is in poor condition, and it does not have the required fall safety systems
installed to allow for safe maintenance and climbing of the tower to access instrumentation. The most
recent Federal Aviation Administration inspection, conducted on May 7, 2015, rendered the system "out-
of-service."
These funds will enable the Airport Authority to replace this outdated system, provide more accurate
weather information, and enhance safety at IMM.
The total estimated cost of this system is $135,000. The FDOT JPA award is for $108,000. The local
match of$27,000 is available in Fund 497.
FDOT Funding (80%) $108,000
Local Match(20%) $ 27,000
Total Estimated Cost 5135,000
Due to the page volume of the FDOT Joint Participation Agreement(JPA) G0599 a link to the document
has been provided.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Amendments are necessary to recognize FDOT grant revenue in project
number 33452 in the amount of$108,000 within Airport Grant Fund 498, and local match in the amount
of$27,000 within Airport Grant Fund 499. The local match funds are available by transfer from the
motor pool replacement project 57495 within Airport Fund 497 funded by the General Fund
(001).
Annual operating costs for the new AWOS are expected to be equivalent to those for the system that will
be replaced. These include annual inspection services of $1,600 and RSINet data services of
approximately $1,020.
