Brief Description of Projects Partially Approved for Collection and
Use at a $4.50 PFC Level:
Construction of runway 9C/27C
Determination: Partially approved for collection and use. The
approved amount is the same as was requested by the public agency.
However, the FAA questions the public agency's treatment of the salvage
value of the various demolition components. In addition, the FAA has
determined that only that portion of the project relating to the
demolition of the current facility is PFC-eligible for the component
identified as ``relocation of Chicago Department of Aviation
communications service center and airport repair and construction
complex. Finally, due to the complex topography and construction
conditions, and that fact that the public agency is requesting less
than the full amount which would be PFC-eligible, the FAA is allowing
the line item identified as ``contingency.''
Runway 9R/27L Extension
Determination: Partially approved for collection and use. The
approved amount is the same as was requested by the public agency. Due
to the complex topography and construction conditions, and that fact
that the public agency is requesting less than the full amount which
would be PFC-eligible, the FAA is allowing the line item identified as
``contingency.''
Runway 10R/28L Construction
Determination: Partially approved for collection and use. The
approved amount is the same as was requested by the public agency.
However, after the PFC application was submitted, the City received
funding from the FAA to design and construct the South Air Traffic
Control Tower. In addition, due to the complex topography and
construction conditions, and that fact that the public agency is
requesting less than the full amount which would be PFC-eligible, the
FAA is allowing the line item identified as ``contingency.''
Taxiway LL Construction
Determination: Partially approved for collection and use. The
approved amount is the same as was requested by the public agency. Due
to the complex topography and construction conditions, and that fact
that the public agency is requesting less than the full amount which
would be PFC-eligible, the FAA is allowing the line item identified as
``contingency.''
