Recommendation re: Lakeland Linder Regional Airport – Aviation Grant for Extension of
Grass Strip – Awarding of Ranger Construction Contract
The Lakeland Linder Regional Airport (LLRA) had obtained a private grant in 2014 in
the amount of $250,000 to be used for the extension of the grass strip on the south side
of the Airfield to support year-round operations. The private grant was intended to fund
100% of the extension of the Grass Strip to 2,500 feet in length and 75 feet in width and
meet the minimum standards and safety criteria necessary to operate year-round. The
landing area will be extended to the west (see attached).
The extension of the grass strip will assist in further promoting development on the
south side of the airfield, just west of Taxiway E1 which has been rehabilitated. Further
aviation activity is anticipated with the completion of the grass strip and TWYE1 along
with additional growth through potential new land leases and investments in hangar
construction. The grass strip will also support the continued development of youth flying
programs being offered by Sun ‘n Fun at the Airport.
The initial project costs had been estimated at $250,000, however; the effort to have the
grass strip approved for year-round use through the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) required additional environmental, air space and surveys to be submitted for
approvals. These additional efforts requested by the FAA for the environmental and
topographical surveys along with other site work issues such as gopher tortoise
relocation and drainage features have generated higher overall costs.
Through value engineering by our engineering firm, Amherst Consulting, Inc. (Orlando,
FL), the proposed construction costs from Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Winter
Haven, FL.) have been negotiated down to $239,659.90, with the total project cost of
$316,564.90, $66,564.90 over the initial projected cost of $250,000. As Ranger
Construction is already under contract with LLRA for the TWY D rehabilitation project
and is on site, the construction costs have been kept to a minimum, even considering
the design changes that have been completed due to the increased efforts to obtain
approvals.

LLRA has obtained approvals from Purchasing to add this construction work to the
existing Ranger Construction contract through the issuance of a change order as the
majority of the type of work to be performed is already defined in the current contract.
LLRA is requesting approvals to enter into a change order with Ranger Construction
Industries, Inc. in the amount of $239,659.90.
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City officials to
execute the change order with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. in the amount of
$239,659.90 to complete the necessary construction for the Grass Strip. Additionally, no
appropriations are requested to support these actions as LLRA will fund the additional
project costs of $66,564.90 from its existing 2016 budget.
