GRANT APPLICATIONS DEADLINE

Many of you received an email from the FAA on Tuesday, Feb. 25 addressing Bid Opening, Bid Hold and Federal Contract Provisions Guidance. In this email, the FAA deadline for entitlement and IIJA (BIL) grant applications was extended to April 28.  

Missouri as a Block Grant state had a deadline for sponsors of March 1 for all IIJA (BIL) AIG/NPE applications. The new deadline for submitting these IIJA AIG/NPE applications to MoDOT Aviation has been extended to April 15. The IIJA (BIL) AIG applications need to be based on known cost (design agreement, construction bids in hand or construction phased services agreement).

The April 15 deadline will allow MoDOT Aviation time to prepare and bundle applications for submittal to the FAA on or before the April 28 FAA deadline. Projects that are on track, please keep them moving.

LRTP SFRP SURVEY NOW AVAILABLE

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is in the process of updating its current Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and State Freight and Rail Plan (SFRP). We are soliciting feedback from Missourians on transportation priorities to help determine the goals for the state’s 25-year transportation vision. We value your insights and perspectives, which are crucial in shaping the future of transportation in our state. The survey will be open until April 30.

Make your voice heard and take the survey.

MISSOURI AIRPORT PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX (PCI)/PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE

MoDOT’s Aviation IDEA tool is located here. This tool contains pavement condition information for NPIAS airports across the state. You will find the most pertinent information on your airport under the Airport Details section. You can find your individual airport pavement management report by going to Airport Details, selecting your airport, then Documents.

If your last pavement inspection was held in 2021, you should be inspected again this year.

Work required for this project includes collecting work history information pertaining to the pavement system and a visual inspection of pavements at the airports. The results of this effort will assist you and MoDOT in understanding the current condition of your airfield pavements and provide tools to assist in the future management of these pavements. You can expect to see this information updated early next year. If there is an immediate need for this data for prioritizing projects, please let us know as soon as possible so your airport data can be prioritized. (Please note, you would only receive pavement condition data, not a full report. We only want to do this if there is a specific/immediate need for this information.)

Woolpert may contact you to obtain needed work history information. A representative of Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. (APTech) will contact you to plan for the visual pavement evaluation which will likely occur sometime between May and July.

The inspectors will have radios and all necessary vehicle markings including a strobe light and will work around the aircraft traffic with as little interference as possible. There should be no reason to close the airport while they are there.

You may issue a NOTAM about the inspection work; however, the work is weather and travel dependent so please check with APTech to confirm the schedule.
