Body
BACKGROUND
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $15 billion in airport infrastructure funding. The money can be invested in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport-transit connections and roadway projects. The Department of Aviation submitted a grant application for Airport Infrastructure Grant Funds issued by the FAA for the Runway 13L-31R Runway Safety Area (RSA) Improvements and Rehabilitate Taxiway A project in the amount not to exceed $4,273,853.00. Dallas Love Field will manage the project to ensure eligibility and compliance for FAA grant funding.
The objective for this project is to correct RSA deficiencies with full RSA grading and installation of new drainage infrastructure along the Taxiway A side of the runway and rehabilitate the existing Taxiway A pavement between existing Taxiway A south and Taxiway A5. The primary goal of the project is to replace pavement that has exceeded its useful life and requires replacement. This project will address safety-related improvements within the Runway 13L-31R safety area and at an existing hot spot at the north end of Taxiway A.
