lOOP PROGRAM NARRATIVE - Page 2 4. FY19941MPROVEMENTS The FY 1994 improvements include the addition of medium intensity taxiway lighting, the replacement of the rotating beacon, and the environmental assessment for the extension of Runway 12-30. 5. FY 1995 IMPROVEMENTS - The FY 1995 improvements will indude a continuation of the apron rehabilitation program (approximately 16 acres). Detailed engineering cost estimates of the proposed improvements are induded in the following pages. 6. FUNDING CONSIDERATION The funding sequence for this airport improvement projects is predicated on the ability of the City of San Marcos to fund the local, sponsor's share on an annual basis. To date, it appears that an annual total project cost of approximately $1,000,000 is attainable which has caused the entire program of improvements to be extended over a three to four year period as FAA funding is available. The October 1990 preapplication appears to have been based on several assumptions which were later found to be either not applicable or invalid. Primary among those was the assumption that the concrete apron would be overlaid with asphalt. As was determined during the pavement evaluation process, this type of improvement would have created severe maintenance and repair costs in the future due to the deterioration of much of the concrete pavement and the lack of strength gained from a two inch .overlay. These types of project assumptions caused the October 1990 preapplication to be considerably underestimated; possibly by as much as fifty percent.
