The City Attorney read the title to Ordinance No. 0-25-08 and Mayor McPartlan opened
the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. The Community Development Director said this was a
new zoning classification known as mixed use and it was a final step to put the City in
alignment with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Anna Willis, Land Planner with Kimley-Horn and Associates, displayed a PowerPoint
presentation outlining the three proposed mixed use zoning districts. (See attached)
Council Member Dixon asked how they came up with the 15%for open space. Ms. Willis
responded it was gathered from planners on staff who found it to be a standard in other
regional mixed -use districts.
Council Member Nunn asked why a drive -through was prohibited in a neighborhood
mixed use on page 71, (b). The Community Development Director stated it should have
been included and she will make sure it's adjusted.
MOTION by Council Member Nunn and SECOND by Vice Mayor Jones to approve the
first reading of Ordinance No. 0-25-08 with the wording "exclusion of drive -through
facilities" crossed out; setting the second reading for May 28.
The City Manager asked Council Member Nunn for clarification, he asked if he wanted
the business and professional offices excluding drive through crossed out. He told him
that it is shown as a conditional use, permitted now. He asked if Council Member Nunn's
thought was to move it from conditional use to just permitted use. Council Member
Nunn asked staff if it would be a problem for it not to be conditional use and just be
permitted. The Community Development Director said she didn't have an issue moving
it to permitted, she believed that it would streamline the ability to have something like
a Starbucks to come to Sebastian.
AMENDED MOTION by Council Member Nunn and SECOND by Vice Mayor Jones to
approve Ordinance No. 0-25-08 with the recommendation to remove the conditional
approval of drive -through facilities throughout the document. There was no public
input.

through the budget process and there are roads to be eliminated or added in a fiscal
year, it will be referred to as a phase instead of a year.
The City Manager explained that many of the roads were already part of a fiscal year
purchase order in 2023. Once the changes were made in the fall, staff had to close out
the purchase orders because they were based on years. This new purchase order will
include all of the Phase 3 road repaving and preservation work as well as the Fiscal Year
2023 roads which were approved but had to be closed out on a previous purchase
order. He requested approval for this new purchase order and said these roads are
scheduled to be completed in June or early July.

Tax paid by tourists, snow birds and shoppers pays for the roads throughout the City,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE June 9, 2025
TO Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU Brian Benton, City Manager
FROM Jim Mann, Principal Planner
First Reading on Ordinance 0-25-12 — Consideration of
a Land Development Code Textual Amendment to
Modifythe Townhouse Dimensional Regulations within
SUBJECT the RM-8 and RM-10 Zoning Districts, and to Set the
Date for Second Reading/Adoption Quasi -Legislative
Public Hearing on June 25, 2025
City of Sebastian Planning Division Staff is requesting City Council consideration of a Land Development Code
(LDC) textual amendment in order to amend the Townhouse Dimensional Regulations within the RM-8
(Residential Multi -family, 8 units per acre), and RM-io (Residential Multi -family, io units per acre) zoning
districts.
In zoos, the RM-8 zoning district added townhouse dimensional regulationsto establish criteria needed to allow
townhouses to be developed in the multi -family districts. In 2021, with the adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan, a new zoning district, RM-io, was established in order to be in compliance with the increased density
adopted for the Medium Density Residential land use category.
Recently, Staff researched multiple similar municipalities for dimensional criteria and determined that the
average lot width and depth for townhomes lots were smaller than what is currently required by the City's LDC.
On average, the lot width ranged from 15 feet to 22 feet for the other jurisdictions. This proposed amendment
would include narrowing the City's lot width requirement from 25 feet to 20 feet and another to lengthen the
lot depth from 75 feet to go feet. This amendment would propose a lot square footage requirement of 1800
square feet. Currently, 1875 square feet is required for both zoning districts. Staff believes the proposed changes
to these dimensional requirements will make the City's regulations more adaptable to the current housing
market and townhouse design standards, and supports the proposed amendments to the LDC.
Ordinance 0-25-12 is being presented for City Council's consideration. Section 54-1-2.7(b)(4) of the Land
Development Code states that the City Council shall consider the following criteria in its review of a proposed
textual amendment:
Consistencv with plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The
commission shall identify any inconsistencies.
b. Conformance with ordinances. Whether the proposal is in conformance with any applicable
substantive requirements of the City of Sebastian Code of Ordinances.
43
C. Chanaed conditions. Whether, and the extent to which, land use and development conditions
have changed since the effective date of the existing regulations involved which are relevant to
the amendment.
d. Land use compatibility. Whether, and the extent to which, the proposal would result in any
incompatible land uses, considering the type and location of uses involved.
e. Adeauate Public facilities. Whether, and the extent to which, the proposal would result in
demands on public facilities and services, exceeding the capacity of such facilities and services,
existing or programmed, including transportation, utilities, drainage, recreation, education,
emergency services, and similar necessary facilities and services.
f. Natural environment. Whether, and the extent to which, the proposal would result in
significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment.
g. Economic effects. Whether, and the extent to which, the proposal would adversely affect the
property values in the area, or the general welfare.
h. Orderly development. Whether the proposal would result in an orderly and local development
pattern. Any negative effects on such pattern shall be identified.
Public interest; enablina act. Whetherthe proposal would be in conflict with the public interest,
and whether it is in harmony with the purpose and interest of this ordinance and its enabling
legislation.
Other matters. Other matters which the planning and zoning commission may deem
appropriate.
The City of Sebastian's Local Planning Agency held a public hearing on May 15th, 2025, determining that the
proposed Ordinance is in compliance with the above criteria, and forwarded a unanimous recommendation that
City Council approve Ordinance 0-25-12. (A copy of the meeting minutes are attached)

data inventory and analysis (DIA) that influences the overarching goals, objectives, and policies that will guide
housing development within the City of Sebastian. The City's housing trends and needs are evaluated in this
analysis in order to ensure a proper mix of housing types are available to accommodate diverse housing needs
achieve a livable community.
Housing Inventory
This section deals with the characteristics and conditions of the existing housing stock in the City. In order to
compile this analysis, the primary sources of data include the U.S. Census Bureau and the American Community
Survey (ACS). These specific resources were applied as they comprise some of the most current and accurate
information available.
Tables 3-1 through 3-16 of this section provide an inventory and comparison of housing characteristics for the
City of Sebastian and Indian River County. Data appearing for Indian River County represents the entire county,
including all unincorporated and incorporated areas as well as Sebastian.
Dwelling Units by structure Type
A comparison of dwelling units by structure type for the City of Sebastian when compared to Indian River County
is displayed in Table 3-1. Single-family detached homes make up the majority of the inventoried housing units
within Sebastian and Indian River County. Indian River County has a significantly higher percentage of multi-
family housing than Sebastian.

Amendment— Ordinance 0-25-12 — Amending Article V, Zoning District
Regulations, by amending the Townhouse Dimensional Regulations within the
RM-8 and the RM-10 Zoning Districts
The City Attorney read the title of the ordinance. The Principal Planner displayed a Power Point
presentation for the amendment presented. The Principal Planner explained that this was a land
development code text amendment related to the townhome dimensional regulations in the
residential multifamily zoning district of eight units per acre, also known as RM-8, and the
residential multifamily zoning district ten units per acre, also known as RM-10. The Principal
Planner explained the history of the RM-8 and RM-10 regulations and said the recent trends within
52
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 2
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
MAY 15, 2025
the townhome regulations and submissions in our current RM-8 and RM-10 regulations seemed
too restrictive for what has been proposed. He stated they have had applications come in and
revised and advised some of the applicants what we would like to do to help them for the
development of their projects. The Principal Planner went to the next slide which depicted their
text amendment changes pictorially and he discussed the changes in RM-8 and RM-10. He
proposed to reduce the lot width minimum from 25' to 20'; increase the lot depth minimum from
75' to 90', and change the lot size requirement from 1875 square feet to 1800 square feet.
On the next slide, the Principal Planner explained the text amendment for RM-8 would only be for
the RM-8 zoning district and this reduced the side setback from 10' to 5' and increased the
distance requirements between the townhome buildings. He mentioned this could be a 2-plex, 6-
plex or 4-plex to be whichever they designed from 15' to 20' to give a bigger buffer. He then
displayed an example on the Power Point.
Next slide the Principal Planner presented a table of the administrative corrections on RM-10 only,
and explained staff observed some administrative items that did not happen with the original
adoption of the RM-10. He reported there were some footnotes in the actual dimension regulation
table which did not make it into the code, and the Power Point table displayed the corrections.
The Principal Planner stated the recommendation from staff was for the City Council to approve,
and the first reading of City Council would be June 11, 2025. He informed the Commissioners if
they had any questions, to please ask.
There was no public input.
Ms. Kautenburg closed the hearing and she called for Commission deliberations and actions.
Mr. Carter said he did not have any specific questions but had mixed feelings and questioned
staff if this would be allowing for more density. The Principal Planner explained density would
remain the same, and allow them to come in with a different dimensional size criteria to allow
more affordability. He further explained the current 25' width lot and the 75' depth created a
different dynamic of what a townhome design could be, and he believed with the deceased size
or the width and length of it would possibly increase the affordability. Mr. Carter countered that if
history was any indication, it would still be just as expensive and was concerned this will not lower
prices for affordability. The Principal Planner replied that most of the regulations will remain the
same within the zoning criteria and development criteria, the townhome models are becoming
thinner and longer. He said staff's intention was to provide development within the city for density
requirements, for multifamily comprehensive code or plan, and help the developers obtain the
ability to develop townhomes.
Community Development Manager offered the city increased medium density residential from 8
units per acre to 10 units per acre with the Comp Plan. She said if you are zoned in RM-8, you
can still only have 8 units per acre and so, with the townhouse change yes, they are smaller. She
also said it does accommodate mostly RM-10, where they will now have the ability to reach the
10 units per acre. The Community Development Manager described the circumstance of finding
it hard to meet our dimensional regulations to bring townhouse projects in and agrees with Mr.
Carter that the density does stay the same. Mr. Carter replied speaking on the intentions of the
Board to get more affordable housing within the city and declared the citizens that work here
cannot afford to live here.

Ms. Geesey said she was usually not for making a lot smaller, or changing setbacks, but the
change proposed does not seem extreme and she will always defer to staff. She questioned on
Page two about the minimum living area not changing. The Principal Planner replied the living
area was not changing. Ms. Geesey stated the square footage changing was not going to change
the cost, and she was concerned that the change on the entire lot was going to not make the units
more affordable.
Mr. Reno asked staff what was used for municipality comparisons. The Community Development
Manager provided the code the city adopted in 2001 was from Satellite Beach, and said staff used
them as a comparison again. She added that Satellite Beach dropped theirs to 15' to 18' wide
townhouses and they looked at Melbourne's model as well. She informed that Indian River County
did not have specific dimensions on their lot width, and would just refer to density. She added
Port St. Lucie or Stuart was another one, and they had read a great deal of codes which the
majority did not have specific dimensions. Mr. Reno asked for the difference between a side
setback and a side interior setback. The Principal Planner explained the side interior setback was
basically the setback requirements in between the buildings themselves, and gave the example
of wall to wall, and a side setback would be in the individual property line with the setback
requirement for the property line. He then displayed it pictorially on the Power Point to Mr. Reno.
Ms. Matthews said she has no comment.
Ms. Battles stated she was in favor, and that it allows for flexibility and options for developers to
come in and provide houses in the community.
Ms. Kautenburg said she concurs with the panel and does not have any concerns. She believed
the change was insignificant in reality, but the perceptions of the change were important
A motion was made by Ms. Battles to recommend approval of the proposed Land Development
Code amendment to Ordinance 0-25-12 —Article V. The motion was seconded by Mr. Geesey.

payment request under this Agreement electronically via the Delphi elnvoicing System for

interests of the United States.

20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.
It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect
instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum flight altitudes) will
be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or
otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of
future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to
restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and
purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In
addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit
any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the
airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been
expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without
unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including
commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the
airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any
aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert
and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to:
Furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users

other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed -based operators making the same or
similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed -based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non -tenant, or subtenant of another air
carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,
regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly
and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers
which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable
classifications such as tenants or non -tenants and signatory carriers and non -signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport
provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air
carriers in such classification or status.
Airport Sponsors Assurances

f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft
with its own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it
may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this
assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the
furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the
sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be
met by all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the
airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport
if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil
aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to
provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the
services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if
both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed -based
operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would require the
reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed -based
operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or
permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any
aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental
and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier
operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not
conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft,
sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will
make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular
airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part
of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for
which a Grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act
of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be
included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.

25. Airport Revenues.
All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after
December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the
local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or
operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air
transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the
owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in
governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the
revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to
support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt
obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by
the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and
provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation
on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from
the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an
amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of
any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land
acquisition on or after October 1, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the
current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to
that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or
other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at 49 U.S.C. 47102), if the FAA
determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Section 813 of Public
Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct
that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the
use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or
transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title
49, United States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in
accordance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107.
26. Reports and Inspections.
It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary
may reasonably request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the
public at reasonable times and places a report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by
the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents
affecting the airport, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and
Airport Sponsors Assurances
Page 12 of 19
87
other instruments, available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon
reasonable request;
c. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating to the project
and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and assurances of this Grant Agreement
including deeds, leases, agreements, regulations, and other instruments, available for
inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and make available
to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for
which each such payment was made; and
2. all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the
amount of compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft.
It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial assistance
and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government
aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government
aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the
cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary,
or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by
Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of
those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that:
Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent
thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government
aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the
airport (the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such
aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.
It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic
control or air navigation activities, or weather -reporting and communication activities related to air
traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein as the Secretary considers necessary or
desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for
such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within
four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
The airport owner or operator will maintain a current airport layout plan of the airport
showing:
boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries
of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed
additions thereto;

purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion of the proceeds of
such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of acquisition of such land
will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another project at the airport, or (2)
transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give
preference to the following, in descending order:
1. Reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility project;
2. Reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding under 49 U.S.C.
47117(e);
3. Reinvestment in an approved airport development project that is eligible for grant funding
under 49 U.S.C. 47114, 47115, or 47117;

and consistent with noise buffering purposes, the lease will not be considered a disposal of the
land. Revenues derived from such a lease may be used for an approved airport development
project that would otherwise be eligible for grant funding or any permitted use of airport
revenue.

such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of
such land will, upon application to the Secretary, be reinvested or transferred to another
eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the
following, in descending order:

noise compatibility project at that airport; or
5. Payment to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (1) it may be
needed for aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer
land, and (2) the revenue from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial
self-sufficiency of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport
operator or owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be needed for airport
purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making such grant before December 31, 1987, was
notified by the operator or owner of the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the
land continues to be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than
December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a), (b), or (c) will be subject to the retention or reservation of
any interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes
which are compatible with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.

Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category (salary,
travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation shall be submitted for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Documentation for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual checks.
Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved
agreement budget may be reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly related to
the services being provided.
Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost reimbursement agreements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register should show
gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for whom reimbursement is
being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be
acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits will be based
on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits
amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks for fringe
benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which
includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of the property to the
State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided to show compliance with Department of
Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts
which include services and that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in
Section 273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be
reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and/or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation
to substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

SCOPE OF WORK
TERMINAL APRON EXPANSION
SEBASTIAN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Infrastructure Consulting and Engineering will provide professional engineering services for the
Expansion of the Terminal Apron at Sebastian Airport. This scope represents the design efforts for
the development and expansion of the existing terminal apron to
increase its capacity, improve pavement conditions, and conduct
improvements to the site lighting. The existing terminal apron
area includes approximately 31,975 square feet of pavement.
The apron parking space at the Sebastian Municipal Airport is _
severely limited and will not accommodate the needs of future A
traffic volumes. As a result of the severely limited terminal
apron area and a substantial amount of transient activity that
occurs, aircraft are often parked in grassed areas or alongside the
Taxilane which leads to the terminal apron area. This
arrangement can create congestion and also makes it difficult for
transient and based aircraft to access the self-service fuel
facilities. The expansion project is a practical solution to the airport's current limitations and a
necessary step to ensure that the airport is prepared for future growth. These additional parking
I ,. _ _ ..•~ w+►—�`` spaces will help improve safety, avoid
congestion, reduce delays, and ultimately
contribute to a more efficient and effective
airport operation. The analysis revealed that the
existing apron should currently be 39,172 SF
which means that it is already about 7,197 square
feet less than is needed to accommodate the
airport's current peak -hour traffic needs.
According to the forecast, this deficit continues
to increase year -over -year until a shortfall of
approximately 9,239 square feet is needed by 2034. The expansion will thereby enhance the overall
airport experience.

ICE proposes to perform a structural and functional evaluation of the apron pavement to assess the
condition of the pavement and determine if it requires additional structural overlay. ICE proposes
to perform a combination of nondestructive testing (NDT) and coring for a cost-effective and
comprehensive evaluation of the pavement.
This preliminary engineering phase is intended to identify the cause of the pavement structure
deficiencies and provide different engineering & construction alternatives for the Terminal Apron
Expansion and includes various studies which generally will include Existing Pavement Structure
strength evaluation, evaluation of pavement failures, determination of rehabilitation alternatives,
cost analysis for the rehabilitation alternatives.
Preliminary Engineering activities include:
1. Perform Site Visits in order to assess existing pavement and subgrade conditions including
the identification of all surface and subsurface deficiencies contributing to the pavement's
poor performance.
a. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). GPR provides continuous measurement of
pavement thickness at highway speed (ASTM D6087).
b. Coring. Core samples are proposed to be extracted from the pavement at selected
areas to examine the condition of the pavement layers as well as debonding between
the layers. Core results will also be used to verify the GPR data.
c. Borings shall be approximately 15' deep. Cores shall be only to the bottom of the
pavement in order to define the existing pavement section, with a frequency of one
per 10,000 sf per FAA's "AC 15/5320-6G, Airport Pavement Design and
Evaluation". A report will be generated in order to analyze and describe all
materials encountered, with identification of pavement failures and pavement
recommendations.
d. Perform borings to obtain the permeability rates at 1'-4' and 7'-9' depths below the
grade.
2. Develop an AutoCAD drawing from DTM survey for use in modeling the Apron
Expansion.
3. Obtain and review any available historical documents: construction documents, as-builts
from previous projects to determine existing pavement structure.
4. Analyze the existing pavement section.
5. Evaluation of apron pavement based on geotechnical investigation above.
6. Drainage Evaluation.
7. SJRWMD Pre -Application Meeting.
8. Incorporate results into the Preliminary Engineering Report.

payment request under this Agreement electronically via the Delphi elnvoicing System for
Department of Transportation (DOT) Financial Assistance Awardees.
13. Informal Letter Amendment of IIJA Proiects. If, during the life of the project, the FAA determines
that the maximum grant obligation of the United States exceeds the expected needs of the Sponsor
by $25,000 or five percent (5%), whichever is greater, the FAA can issue a letter amendment to the
Sponsor unilaterally reducing the maximum obligation.
The FAA can, subject to the availability of Federal funds, also issue a letter to the Sponsor increasing
the maximum obligation if there is an overrun in the total actual eligible and allowable project costs
to cover the amount of the overrun provided it will not exceed the statutory limitations for grant
amendments. The FAA's authority to increase the maximum obligation does not apply to the
"planning" component of Condition No. 1, Maximum Obligation.
The FAA can also issue an informal letter amendment that modifies the grant description to correct
administrative errors or to delete work items if the FAA finds it advantageous and in the best
interests of the United States.
An informal letter amendment has the same force and effect as a formal grant amendment.
14. Environmental Standards. The Sponsor is required to comply with all applicable environmental
standards, as further defined in the Grant Assurances, for all projects in this grant. If the Sponsor
fails to comply with this requirement, the FAA may suspend, cancel, or terminate this Grant
Agreement.
15. Financial Reporting and Pavment Requirements. The Sponsor will comply with all Federal financial
reporting requirements and payment requirements, including submittal of timely and accurate
reports.
16. Buv American. Unless otherwise approved in advance by the FAA, in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
§ 50101, the Sponsor will not acquire or permit any contractor or subcontractor to acquire any steel
or manufactured goods produced outside the United States to be used for any project for which
funds are provided under this Grant. The Sponsor will include a provision implementing Buy
American in every contract and subcontract awarded under this Grant.
17. Build America, Buv American. The Sponsor must comply with the requirements under the Build
America, Buy America Act (P.L. 117-58).
18. Maximum Obligation Increase. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. § 47108(b)(3), as amended, the
maximum obligation of the United States, as stated in Condition No. 1, Maximum Obligation, of this
Grant:
a. May not be increased for a planning project;
b. May be increased by not more than 15 percent for development projects, if funds are available;
c. May be increased by not more than the greater of the following for a land project, if funds are
available:
1. 15 percent; or
2. 25 percent of the total increase in allowable project costs attributable to acquiring an
interest in the land.
7
161
If the Sponsor requests an increase, any eligible increase in funding will be subject to the United
States Government share as provided in IIJA (P.L. 117-58), or other superseding legislation if
applicable, for the fiscal year appropriation with which the increase is funded. The FAA is not
responsible for the same Federal share provided herein for any amount increased over the initial
grant amount. The FAA may adjust the Federal share as applicable through an informal letter of
amendment.
19. Audits for Sponsors.
PUBLIC SPONSORS. The Sponsor must provide for a Single Audit or program -specific audit in
accordance with 2 CFR Part 200. The Sponsor must submit the audit reporting package to the
Federal Audit Clearinghouse on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse's Internet Data Entry System at

of the completed audit to the FAA. Sponsors that expend less than $1,000,000 in Federal awards
and are exempt from Federal audit requirements must make records available for review or audit by
the appropriate Federal agency officials, State, and Government Accountability Office. The FAA and
other appropriate Federal agencies may request additional information to meet all Federal audit
requirements.
20. Suspension or Debarment. When entering into a "covered transaction" as defined by 2 CFR §
180.200, the Sponsor must:
a. Verify the non -Federal entity is eligible to participate in this Federal program by:
1. Checking the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) exclusions to determine if the non -
Federal entity is excluded or disqualified; or
2. Collecting a certification statement from the non -Federal entity attesting they are not
excluded or disqualified from participating; or
3. Adding a clause or condition to covered transactions attesting the individual or firm are not
excluded or disqualified from participating.
b. Require prime contractors to comply with 2 CFR § 180.330 when entering into lower -tier
transactions with their contractors and sub -contractors.

19.Operation and Maintenance.
The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical users of the airport,
other than facilities owned or controlled by the United States, shall be operated at all times in a
safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum standards as may be
required or prescribed by applicable Federal, state, and local agencies for maintenance and
operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon which would interfere with
its use for airport purposes. It will suitably operate and maintain the airport and all facilities
thereon or connected therewith, with due regard to climatic and flood conditions. Any proposal

20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.
It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect
instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum flight altitudes) will
be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or
otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of
future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to
restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and
purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In
addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit
any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the
airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been
expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without
unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including
commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the
airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any
aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert
and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to:
Furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users
thereof, and
2. Charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service,
provided that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory
discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and
other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed -based operators making the same or
similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed -based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non -tenant, or subtenant of another air
carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,
regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly
and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers
which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable
classifications such as tenants or non -tenants and signatory carriers and non -signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport
provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air
carriers in such classification or status.

f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft
with its own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it
may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this
assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the
furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the
sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be
met by all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the
airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport
if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil
aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to
provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the
services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if
both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed -based
operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would require the
reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed -based
operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or
permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any
aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental
and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier
operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not
conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft,
sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will
make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular
airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part
of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for
which a Grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act
of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be
included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.

25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after
December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the
local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or
operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air
transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the
owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in
governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the
revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to
support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt
obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by
the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and
provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation
on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from
the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an
amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of
any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land
acquisition on or after October 1, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the
current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to
that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or
other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at 49 U.S.C. 47102), if the FAA
determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Section 813 of Public
Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct
that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the
use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or
transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title
49, United States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in
accordance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107.
26. Reports and Inspections.
It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary
may reasonably request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the
public at reasonable times and places a report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by
the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents
affecting the airport, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and

other instruments, available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon
reasonable request;
c. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating to the project
and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and assurances of this Grant Agreement
including deeds, leases, agreements, regulations, and other instruments, available for
inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and make available
to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for
which each such payment was made; and
2. all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the
amount of compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft.
It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial assistance
and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government
aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government
aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the
cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary,
or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by
Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of
those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that:
Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent
thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government
aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the
airport (the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such
aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.
It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic
control or air navigation activities, or weather -reporting and communication activities related to air
traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein as the Secretary considers necessary or
desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for
such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within
four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
The airport owner or operator will maintain a current airport layout plan of the airport
showing:
boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries
of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed
additions thereto;

M M11113 C l.�1111MMIM
2. the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures (such
as runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars and roads), including all
proposed extensions and reductions of existing airport facilities;
the location of all existing and proposed non -aviation areas and of all existing
improvements thereon; and
4. all proposed and existing access points used to taxi aircraft across the airport's property
boundary.
Subject to subsection 49 U.S.C. 47107(x), the Secretary will review and approve or disapprove
the plan and any revision or modification of the plan before the plan, revision, or modification
takes effect.
c. The owner or operator will not make or allow any alteration in the airport or any of its facilities
unless the alteration-
1. is outside the scope of the Secretary's review and approval authority as set forth in
subsection (x); or
2. complies with the portions of the plan approved by the Secretary.
When the airport owner or operator makes a change or alteration in the airport or the
facilities which the Secretary determines adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of
any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the airport and which is not in
conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary, the owner or operator
will, if requested, by the Secretary:
1. eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or
2. bear all costs of relocating such property or its replacement to a site acceptable to the
Secretary and of restoring the property or its replacement to the level of safety, utility,
efficiency, and cost of operation that existed before the alteration was made, except in
the case of a relocation or replacement of an existing airport facility due to a change in the
Secretary's design standards beyond the control of the airport sponsor.
30. Civil Rights.
It will promptly take any measures necessary to ensure that no person in the United States shall, on
the grounds of race, color, and national origin (including limited English proficiency) in accordance
with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d to 2000d-4); creed and
sex per 49 U.S.C. 47123 and related requirements; age per the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and
related requirements; or disability per the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and related

disability as a covenant running with the land, in any future deeds, leases, license, permits,
or similar instruments entered into by the sponsor with other parties:
a. For the subsequent transfer of real property acquired or improved under the
applicable activity, project, or program; and
b. For the construction or use of, or access to, space on, over, or under real property
acquired or improved under the applicable activity, project, or program.
f. It will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the
Secretary to give reasonable guarantee that it, other recipients, sub -recipients, sub -grantees,
contractors, subcontractors, consultants, transferees, successors in interest, and other
participants of Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all
requirements imposed or pursuant to the acts, the regulations, and this assurance.
g. It agrees that the United States has a right to seek judicial enforcement with regard to any
matter arising under the acts, the regulations, and this assurance.
31. Disposal of Land.
For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes, including land
serving as a noise buffer, it will dispose of the land, when the land is no longer needed for such
purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion of the proceeds of
such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of acquisition of such land
will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another project at the airport, or (2)
transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give
preference to the following, in descending order:
1. Reinvestment in an approved noise compatibility project;
2. Reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding under 49 U.S.C.
47117(e);
3. Reinvestment in an approved airport development project that is eligible for grant funding
under 49 U.S.C. 47114, 47115, or 47117;
4. Transfer to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested in an approved
noise compatibility project at that airport; or
5. Payment to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
If land acquired under a grant for noise compatibility purposes is leased at fair market value
and consistent with noise buffering purposes, the lease will not be considered a disposal of the
land. Revenues derived from such a lease may be used for an approved airport development
project that would otherwise be eligible for grant funding or any permitted use of airport
revenue.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other than noise
compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for airport purposes, dispose of such
land at fair market value or make available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United
States' proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of the proceeds of
such disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of
such land will, upon application to the Secretary, be reinvested or transferred to another
eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the
following, in descending order:

under 49 U.S.C. 47114, 47115, or 47117;
4. Transfer to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested in an approved
noise compatibility project at that airport; or
5. Payment to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (1) it may be
needed for aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer
land, and (2) the revenue from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial
self-sufficiency of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport
operator or owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be needed for airport
purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making such grant before December 31, 1987, was
notified by the operator or owner of the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the
land continues to be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than
December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a), (b), or (c) will be subject to the retention or reservation of
any interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes
which are compatible with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services.
If any phase of such project has received Federal funds under Chapter 471 subchapter 1 of Title
49 U.S.C., it will award each contract, or sub -contract for program management, construction

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (ACDBE) programs or the requirements of 49 CFR Parts 23 and 26. The sponsor shall take
all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Parts 23 and 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the
award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts, and/or concession contracts. The sponsor's
DBE and ACDBE programs, as required by 49 CFR Parts 26 and 23, and as approved by DOT, are
incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of these programs is a legal obligation
and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification

§ 47102) has been unable to accommodate one or more requests by an air carrier for access to
gates or other facilities at that airport in order to allow the air carrier to provide service to the
airport or to expand service at the airport, the airport owner or operator shall transmit a report
to the Secretary that:
1. Describes the requests;
2. Provides an explanation as to why the requests could not be accommodated; and
3. Provides a time frame within which, if any, the airport will be able to accommodate the
requests.

unable to accommodate the request(s) in the six-month period prior to the applicable due
date.
40. Access to Leaded Aviation Gasoline
a. If 100-octane low lead aviation gasoline (100LL) was made available at an airport, at any time
during calendar year 2022, an airport owner or operator may not restrict or prohibit the sale of,
or self -fueling with 100-octane low lead aviation gasoline.
This requirement remains until the earlier of December 31, 2030, or the date on which the
airport or any retail fuel seller at the airport makes available an unleaded aviation gasoline that
has been authorized for use by the FAA as a replacement for 100-octane low lead aviation
gasoline for use in nearly all piston -engine aircraft and engine models; and meets either an
industry consensus standard or other standard that facilitates the safe use, production, and
distribution of such unleaded aviation gasoline, as determined appropriate by the FAA.
