1. Airport Planning and Programming
Airport 5010 Inspections
Pavement Condition Inspections
20 year NPIAS Needs Development
5 year ACIP Development
3 year CIP
Overall Development Objective (ODO)
Project Grant Requirements
Design/Bid/Grant…….

2. Airport Project Development….early stages
NPIAS (National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems) Needs Development
20 year plan for each airport
Divided into 3 time periods: Short (1-5), medium (6-10), and long (11-20) terms.

3. Airport Project Development….cont.
Developing a 20 year plan
Airport Inspections
Determine airport features that are non-standard or considered a safety issue.
Find infrastructure that needs repair or has reached the end of its useful life.
Pavement Inspections
Find pavement distresses for input into the airport pavement management system (APMS).
Provides a pavement condition index (0-100) which indicates where the pavement is at in its life cycle.
Airport Master Plan
Airport Layout Plan

4. Moving From Planning to Programming
Projects move forward to the short-term (1-5) until…..funding becomes available.
Federal, State, and Local officials discuss the importance/prioritization of projects on the NPIAS list.
Questions to be asked:
Is the project actually eligible
Is the project justified
What funding streams will the project require
Are there any known stumbling blocks to implement the project

5. Federal/State/Local Funding Streams Available
FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
Non-Primary Entitlement ($150,000/year per airport)
State Apportionment ($3.8M/year)
Discretionary ($6M - $12M/year)
OAC Airport Grant Program ($4M/year)
Local Funding (5%/10% matching)
Airport Revenue
General City Funds
Bond Issues
Loans

6. Programming a Project
Project is generally accepted by all necessary parties, funding streams are identified, and then…..
Airport adds project to 5 year ACIP and submits to FAA/OAC based upon the ODO and engineer’s estimate.
If FAA Discretionary/Apportionment or OAC funds are involved it must be in the 3 year CIP that is formally approved by the Commission.

7. Next Steps After Programming
A project starts in year 5 and continually moves forward.
Along the way the Airport and their consultant must meet FAA/OAC project submittals to avoid delays….must also ask questions:
Has the scope changed based upon the airport’s operations?
Has the estimated cost fluctuated beyond the budget?
Year 3: a preliminary engineering report (PER) is conducted if it’s a Discretionary/Apportionment project.
OAC airport engineering becomes involved.
Year 2/1: Environmental clearance, Design begins, other project prerequisites.

8. Hand-off to Engineering
Starting with the PER the engineering/planning duties become intertwined.
Planning/Programming ensures the budgetary part of the project and the original scope are on track.
Engineering ensures the design of the project meets the original scope.
Both Planning/Programming and Engineering will determine the timing for bidding and final grant application (along with guidance from FAA).
Engineering takes over upon approval of the grant.

9. Other Airport Planning/Programming Duties
Aircraft Pilot and Passenger Protection Act
Anemometer Tower Marking and Database
Technical assistance with Airport Documents (Minimum Standards, Lease Agreements, Rules/Regulations, Security Plans)
Provide Guidance on Airport Master Planning activities
OAC system planning projects (Economic Impact Study, APMS, Oklahoma Airport System Plan Updates, etc.)
Review of Oklahoma Airport System Plan and functional classifications.
Environmental Inventory Project
