5. FY-26 FAA Application Cover Letter

City Commission Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is planning the Taxiway E Construction project at Palatka Municipal Airport. This project involves applying for a Fiscal Year 2026 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant of $1,153,000.00, with additional funding from the Florida Department of Transportation. The city has received bids for the construction and has recommended awarding the contract to CGC, Inc., the lowest bidder. The project is currently under review for grant application approval and award finalization. Work is expected to involve site preparation, grading, paving, and potentially underground utility work related to taxiway construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this airport improvement project should reach out early to understand the scope and potential for future work as plans and permits are finalized. This early engagement can provide an advantage before formal bidding processes begin.
