Manager, kabynon@santafenm.gov)
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY:
Following the FAA's recent Part 139 inspection, the Airport is actively addressing the
identified safety-area, airfield marking, lighting, and pavement needs. We are developing
an RFP that will address rehabilitation of Runways 2/20 and 15/33, runway and taxiway
markings, lighting improvements, rubber removal, and improvements to the runway safety
areas. To move these projects forward, the Airport is requesting the City front $750,000 for
the initial design and engineering work. These funds would be reimbursed through FAA
Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) funding once the grants are executed and reimbursement
is received. This will allow the Airport to begin the necessary design work while waiting for
the grants to be executed, rather than delaying the projects and the associated safety
improvements.
In addition to the airfield improvements, the Airport has significant terminal facility needs
that directly affect both the condition of the facility and the customer experience. The
terminal currently lacks adequate HVAC, has aging flooring, insufficient wayfinding, and
other facility improvements that are needed to provide a safe, functional, and welcoming
environment for passengers. We are requesting the use of available Capital Reserve funds
to address these needs. Together, these investments will allow the Airport to proactively

address the FAA findings, improve the safety and reliability of the airfield, and make
necessary improvements to the terminal while continuing to pursue available federal
funding. The estimated cost of the needs outlined in this memo is $1,855,000 and is broken

1. Design for Runway Safety Area
2. HVAC
3. Secured Area Restroom Upgrade
4. Tile in secured area
