Grant Agreement 43-12-0037-072-2022 providing $17,042,706.00 in funding for the Key West
International Commercial Apron extension project. All project costs will be funded with FAA Grant
37-72 (90%), EYW Airfield Improvements FDOT Grant G1007 (5%) and Airport Operating Fund
404 (5%).
ITEM BACKGROUND: In accordance with the Master Plan completed in 2019, the Commercial
Apron layout was not designed to support the level and type of activity currently occurring and
forecasted for EYW. When several aircraft land consecutively, aircraft traffic backs up on Taxiway
A while waiting to access a parking position. Additional aircraft parking is needed to reduce
existing congestion, meet FAA standards, and improve safety conditions. The Environmental
Assessment that included this project was completed March 19, 2021, with a finding of no
significant impact by the FAA.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On September 15, 2021, the BOCC adopted
Resolution No. 288-2021 authorizing the Director of Airports to execute Airports' FAA and FDOT
grants as received to meet deadlines for returning the grants to the granting agency and expedite use
of grant funds, with grants to be ratified by the BOCC at the next regularly scheduled commission
meeting.
