The purpose of this item is to authorize the execution of grant agreements received by the Fort-Collins
Loveland Airport. Resolution 2014-022 authorizes the City Manager to execute a grant agreement from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for up to $1,000,000. This FAA Grant will be used to for capital projects
including the acquisition of an Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting vehicle and the design and construction of a
snow removal equipment building. Resolution 2014-023 authorizes the City Manager to execute a grant
agreement from the State of Colorado, Division of Aeronautics for funds in the amount of $400,000. This State
aviation discretionary grant will be used to match the FAA 2014 entitlement grant for the acquisition of an
airport rescue and fire fighting vehicle and for the design and construction of a Snow Removal Equipment
Storage building. Resolution 2014-024 authorizes the City Manager to execute a grant agreement from the
State of Colorado, Division of Aeronautics for funds in the amount of $33,280. This second State grant will
fund fifty percent of the Airport’s intern program for 24 months.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Resolution 2014-022 is an annual entitlement grant that is given each year to the Airport from the FAA for
being a primary commercial service airport.
Resolution 2014-023 and Resolution 2014-024 are annual grants given to the Airport from the State of
Colorado.
Agenda Item 14
Item # 14 Page 2
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
The $1,000,000 FAA entitlement grant requires a 10% match that is split 5% by the State of Colorado and 5%
from the Airport reserves, or $55,555 each. The $400,000 State Aviation Discretionary Grant requires a 10%
local match from the Airport, or $44,444, and the internship grant will provide capital resources or $33,280 for
50% of a paid intern position over a period of up to 24 months. These projects have been appropriated and
budgeted for in 2014.

Grantee, may be recovered from Grantee by deduction from subsequent payments under this Grant
or other Grants, grants or agreements between the State and Grantee or by other appropriate methods
and collected as a debt due to the State. Such funds shall not be paid to any person or entity other

B. Notice and Cure Period
In the event of a breach, notice of such shall be given in writing by the aggrieved Party to the other Party in
the manner provided in §16. If such breach is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice, or if a
cure cannot be completed within 30 days, or if cure of the breach has not begun within 30 days and pursued
with due diligence, the State may exercise any of the remedies set forth in §15. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the State, in its sole discretion, need not provide advance notice or a cure period and
may immediately terminate this Grant in whole or in part if reasonably necessary to preserve public safety
or to prevent immediate public crisis.
15. REMEDIES
If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant, the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this
§15 in addition to all other remedies set forth in other sections of this Grant following the notice and cure period
set forth in §14(B), provided however, that the State may terminate this Grant pursuant to §15(B) without a
breach. The State may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion, concurrently or
consecutively.
A. Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure its
completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may notify
Grantee of such non-performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter fails to
promptly cure such non-performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may terminate this
entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to properly perform.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations hereunder. Grantee shall
continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
i. Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or render
further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate outstanding
orders and subcontracts with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver to the State all
Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the termination notice and may incur obligations as are
necessary to do so within this Grant’s terms. At the sole discretion of the State, Grantee shall assign to
the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated orders or subgrants. Upon
termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to protect and preserve
property in the possession of Grantee in which the State has an interest. All materials owned by the
State in the possession of Grantee shall be immediately returned to the State. All Work Product, at the
option of the State, shall be delivered by Grantee to the State and shall become the State’s property.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of termination. If, after
termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach or that Grantee's action or
inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest and the
rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if this Grant had been terminated in the public
interest, as described herein.
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the State
for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by Grantee and the
State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the State’s damages, until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Grantee is determined. The State may
withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the State deems necessary to protect the State,
including loss as a result of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse the State
for the excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable for excess
costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacement Work, Services or substitute
Goods as cover.
B. Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Grant for the purpose of carrying out the public policy of the State of
Colorado, as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or courts. If this Grant ceases to further
the public policy of the State, the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole or in part.

Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State’s obligations hereunder. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or breach by Grantee, which
shall be governed by §15(A) or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Grantee of such termination in accordance with §16. The notice shall specify the
effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a portion of this Grant.
ii. Obligations and Rights
Upon receipt of a termination notice, Grantee shall be subject to and comply with the same obligations
and rights set forth in §15(A)(i).
iii. Payments
If this Grant is terminated by the State pursuant to this §15(B), Grantee shall be paid an amount which
bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services satisfactorily
performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse Grantee for a portion
of actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Grant) incurred by Grantee
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of Grantee’s obligations hereunder; provided
that the sum of any and all reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable to Grantee
hereunder.
C. Remedies Not Involving Termination
The State, in its sole discretion, may exercise one or more of the following remedies in addition to other
remedies available to it:
i. Suspend Performance
Suspend Grantee’s performance with respect to all or any portion of this Grant pending necessary
corrective action as specified by the State without entitling Grantee to an adjustment in price/cost or
performance schedule. Grantee shall promptly cease performance and incurring costs in accordance
with the State’s directive and the State shall not be liable for costs incurred by Grantee after the
suspension of performance under this provision.
ii. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee’s performance are satisfactorily made and
completed.
iii. Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee’s actions or inactions, cannot
be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any denial of payment
shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not performed.
iv. Removal
Demand removal of any of Grantee’s employees, agents, or Subgrantees whom the State deems
incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable, or whose continued
relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the State’s best interest.
v. Intellectual Property
If Grantee infringes on a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right
while performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State’s option (a) obtain for the
State or Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services, or other
product involved with non-infringing products or modify them so that they become non-infringing; or,
(c) if neither of the foregoing alternatives are reasonably available, remove any infringing Goods,
Services, or products and refund the price paid therefore to the State.
16. NOTICES and REPRESENTATIVES
Each individual identified below is the principal representative of the designating Party. All notices required to

Aeronautics and Colorado Aeronautical Board administer the Colorado Discretionary Aviation
Grant program. This should be used as a resource for airport managers and airport sponsors
across Colorado. This document will provide an overview on how the grant program operates,
from application to project close out, and what is expected of the grantees. It will also explain
the role of the Aeronautics Division and Colorado Aeronautical Board, by detailing the
processes that they are responsible for when administering grants. This document will not
address every individual grant or grant question, the Division staff is always available for those
questions.

1.2. Program Structure
The CDAG program was developed to maintain and improve the statewide system of aviation
and airports. This is achieved by awarding grants that help meet individual airport and
statewide aviation targets and needs.
1.3. Eligibility for Discretionary Grants
Eligibility for discretionary grant funding is dictated by C.R.S 43-10-108.5, it reads as follows.
43-10-108.5. State aviation system grant program.
Any entity operating an FAA-designated public-use airport may apply to the division for a state
aviation system grant to be used solely for aviation purposes. Applications shall contain such
information as may be required by the division and shall be filed in accordance with procedures
established by the division. In order to be eligible for a grant, the applicant must demonstrate,
to the satisfaction of the division, that the grant shall be used solely for aviation purposes as
defined in section 43-10-102 (3). The division shall evaluate grant applications based upon
criteria established by the division and make recommendations to the board on the awarding of
grants. Any grant proposed by the board shall be submitted to the governor's office for review
and recommendation prior to a final decision. The governor shall accomplish his review and
recommendation within thirty days of submittal of the grant proposal by the board. The board
shall make final decisions on the awarding of grants subject to the availability of moneys in the
aviation fund created in section 43-10-109. The board shall establish procedures to ensure that
grants awarded pursuant to the provisions of this section are used solely for aviation purposes
as required by this subsection (2).
5
(5) In addition to grants authorized pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, the division itself
may be a recipient of a state aviation system grant, but only for the purposes of implementing a
statewide aviation project that would not otherwise be implemented by an entity operating an
FAA-designated public-use airport. Any application for such a grant shall be submitted to the
Governor’s office for review and recommendation prior to a final decision. The Governor shall
accomplish his review and recommendation within thirty days of submittal of the proposal by
the board. The board shall make final decisions on the awarding of grants to the division for a
statewide aviation project subject to the availability of moneys in the statewide aviation fund
created in section 43-10-109.
The CDOA maintains a CIP that lists the anticipated Division grants/projects throughout each
fiscal year. The CIP is a part of the annual budget process and unless special situations exist all
Division grant requests will be done at the beginning of each fiscal year. Special situations
include, projects involving FAA funds which will need to be done throughout the year as the
FAA dollars become available for those grants/projects. All Division grants are evaluated against
the same criteria as an airport grant.
1.4. Guiding Statutes
The CDOA and CAB operate under C.R.S 43-10-103 through 43-10-116.
1.5. Funding for the Discretionary Grant Program
Funding for the CDOA and the CAB come exclusively from tax on aviation fuel. There are two
types of fuel that are taxed, AVGAS for piston driven aircraft and jet fuel for turbine type
aircraft. There are two types of tax on these fuels, excise and sales. AVGAS has a .06 cents per
gallon excise tax. Non-airline jet fuel has .04 cents per gallon excise tax. All jet fuel is subject to
a 2.9% sales tax on the retail price. In addition to the discretionary grants that airports can
receive as a benefit of these taxes, they also receive airport formula reimbursements.
Airport formula reimbursements are the portion of the tax that is collected at an airport, which
is then returned directly to the airport on which the fuel was sold. The airport is reimbursed the
full .04 cents per gallon jet fuel excise tax; they are also reimbursed .04 cents per gallon of the
AVGAS excise tax. The sales tax on jet fuel is reimbursed at a rate of 65% of the total sales tax
that was collected.
The remaining amount of tax that is collected and not reimbursed to the airports is used for the
operation of the CDOA and CAB and the discretionary grant program. This funding comes from
the remaining .02 cents per gallon AVGAS excise and the remaining 35% of the sales tax on jet
fuel. The administration of the CDOA and CAB per statute cannot exceed 5% of the total tax
6
collections. The remaining money that is not used for administration is used for the
discretionary grant program.
All tax collection and reimbursement rates are set by statute in C.R.S 43-10. All fuel tax
disbursements either, airport formula refund or discretionary grant, must be used for aviation
purposes.
2. Division of Aeronautics and Colorado Aeronautical Board
Responsibilities
2.1. Division of Aeronautics Responsibilities
Mission Statement: “In support of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s development
of a forward-looking multi-model transportation system in the 21
st
century, the Colorado
Division of Aeronautics shall promote partnering with its public and private constituents to
enhance aviation safety, aviation education and the development of an effective air
transportation system through the efficient administration of the Aviation Fund.”
In order to carry out the mission statement as well as live up to our statutory responsibility, this
portion of the Grant Management Manual will identify the duties and responsibilities of the
CDOA staff. The staff is always available as a resource to any current or potential grantee to
answer any questions they have about the CDAG Program.
2.1.1. Statewide Planning Documents
The purpose of maintaining statewide planning documents is to design a strategic approach
that maximizes available funds. Although there are many more planning documents that are
used as recourses by the CDOA, the three discussed below provide the greatest amount of
information on a statewide level and are relied upon the most.
• Colorado Aviation System Plan (CASP)
The system plan document provides an inventory of the current facilities and projects future
demand and need throughout the system. It establishes goals and objectives to help meet the
future demand. The CASP is updated on a five year schedule, but is subject to available funding.
7
The CASP is one of the documents used in the process of evaluating and prioritizing grant
requests by the CDOA staff. The system plan establishes goals that if met, will help improve the
efficiency, safety and long term viability of the Colorado aviation system. A copy of the most
recent CASP Executive Summary is available at: http://colorado-
aeronautics.org/SystemPlan/Colorado_ExecutiveSummary%201.pdf
• Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The CIP process starts with the CDOA sending a letter and a copy of the most recent CIP to each
airport in the spring of the year. The airport is asked to make their requested changes to the CIP
and return it to the CDOA. Those airports that are eligible for AIP funds also send a copy to the
FAA. Each airport’s CIP is reviewed internally and evaluated against available funding and
airport needs and then any necessary changes are made to their CIP. The CDOA next meets
with the FAA to discuss the CIP’s of those airports eligible for AIP funds. Throughout this
process and at the completion there is discussion and correspondence with airports about their
CIP’s. An updated CIP is returned to the airports prior to the CDAG application process. This is
an annual process. The CIP process is discussed in more detail in Chapter 4.
• Pavement Condition Indexing (PCI)
In conjunction with a grant from the FAA, the CDOA maintains a pavement management plan
for all paved publically owned airports, excluding DIA, and all paved privately owned but
publically accessible airports that have a functional role of major or intermediate. Airport
functional roles can be found in the most recent CASP. As a part of this plan PCI inspections are
conducted at every airport in a three year cycle.
2.1.2. Grant Application review process
The CDOA staff has the responsibility to ensure that all grant applications submitted are
complete and meet eligibility requirements. Both in-cycle and out-of-cycle requests are
required to use the same standard application form. The applications are reviewed by a
member of the CDOA staff and if they are in proper order it will proceed to the evaluation
process.
2.1.3. Grant Evaluation and Prioritization
By maintaining the previously discussed statewide planning documents, this will provide the
CDOA staff with vital and pertinent information to be able to maximize the benefit of the
8
funding dollars that are available. As a result of this information the CDOA staff will implement
strategic grantmaking, into their decision making process when evaluating and prioritizing
discretionary grant requests. Strategic grantmaking is discussed in more detail during the
Chapter 4.
The goals and objectives that have been established in the most recent CASP will be used as the
outline for strategic grant making. The goals as defined in the CASP are as follows:
• Support a system that is adequate to meet current and projected demand.
• Provide a system that meets future demand while considering community and
environmental compatibility.
• Have a system of airports that supports economic growth and diversification.
• Provide a system of airports that is convenient and one that supports emergency
services.
• Support a system that maximizes historic investment by optimizing the useful life of
existing facilities.
• Encourage a general aviation system that is secure.
These goals are the foundation on which grant applications will be prioritized and evaluated
against. This will help ensure that state resources are expended in a reasonable and prudent
manner, by maximizing the investment in moving the Colorado aviation system forward.
2.1.4. Contract Oversight
The CDOA grants administrator has responsibility to make sure all contracts are filled out
correctly and signed by the appropriate parties. He/she is the point of contact during the grant
contracting process, as described in Chapter 5 of this document. Any contractual change will
utilize the formal contract amendment process. Every requested change in scope will require
the CDOA staff to fill out a Scope of Work Change Evaluation Form. The result of this evaluation
will determine whether or not the change can be handled administratively by the CDOA staff or
if CAB action is need. The CDOA staff does not have the authority to make changes regarding
the amount of funding. In the event that additional funding is needed for a project, the sponsor
must apply for supplemental funding using the Supplemental Funding Request Application. This
request will be evaluated by the staff using the standard criteria for applications and presented
to the CAB for action. Supplemental funding is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3. If a
9
supplemental funding request is approved, a contract amendment will be sent out to the
airport sponsor for signature. Additional CDAG funds are not available for reimbursement until
the amendment has been signed by all parties. For more information regarding the
Contracting process please refer to Chapter 5.
The CDOA uses the state approved contract from DPA. This contract is updated as required by
DPA. This contract contains specific termination clauses which enables the CDOA to make sure
that the grant money is being spent as approved by the CAB. If for some reason the grantee
does not live up to the agreement, the CAB has the ability to cancel the contract and stop the
reimbursement of aviation funds. The CDOA and CAB will consider this information in regards
to future funding requests.
2.1.5. Project Management
The CDOA staff is responsible to ensure that all granted money is spent within the limitations of
the grant contract and that each project is completed in accordance with the contract. Each
claim for reimbursement will be reviewed by the designated project manager and then
forwarded to the grants administrator for final approval. Colorado has been divided into three
regions to determine the project manager/grant contact for each airport. This map can be
found in the appendix.
Grant project managers are also responsible to monitor the progress of each grant within their
region. The progress of the grants will be monitored on the dollar amount of claims against the
grant over each 12 month period from the date that the Notice to Proceed was issued until the
project is complete and the grant is closed. Every project that is completed prior to the end
date on the contract will be considered on schedule. Even though the grant application might
have a more aggressive schedule, for the purpose of tracking grant progress “on schedule” will
be any grant completed prior to the end date on the contract. Any grant that returns funds to
the aviation fund at the completion of the project will be considered under budget. The grant
budget as listed on the contract will be the gauge for the project budget. If the project is
completed and the local or FAA budget is increased to finish the project, but there was no
change to the CDOA portion, it will be considered within budget. Any contract amendments
approved by the CAB to the budget during the project will then be adopted as the new project
budget.
On-site visits will also be conducted to ensure progress/completion of work. At a meeting
following each grant hearing the CDOA will use a risk based approach to establish a list of
projects that will be visited, pending available travel budget, either during the project or after it
has been completed. These on-site visits are to ensure that the project is making progress or
completed as approved by the CAB.
10
2.2. Colorado Aeronautical Board Responsibilities
The CAB has overall responsibility for the CDAG program. By Statute the CAB carries out this
function by establishing procedures for the administration and distribution of moneys credited
to the aviation funds created in section 43-10-109, for aviation purposes at Colorado public use
airports. There are several ways the CAB oversees the CDAG program. The following are some
of the more critical elements of the CDAG program and how the CAB oversees them.
Set policy for eligible projects (approval of grant management manual)
Review and comment on submitted projects (Board grant review meeting)
Determine project status (determine consent agenda or not at Board grant review meeting)
Approve or reject grant projects
Set policy for administrative changes to grants (approval of grant management manual)
Set budget for grant program based upon funds available
3. Grant Application Process
3.1. In-Cycle Grant Requests
The regular grant cycle takes place with the grant hearings before the CAB annually. In
preparation for the grant hearing each airport will revise their 5 year CIP. After the CDOA and
sponsor complete the CIP process, the CDOA will then solicit for grant applications. The
applications that are then submitted by the airports should reflect the recent CIP update. The
standard grant application form can be found on the CDOA web site at http://colorado-
aeronautics.org . Each airport has an assigned CDOA project manager/contact that has the
responsibility to ensure that each grant application is complete and eligible for funding. A CDOA
project manager will work with each airport to make certain that the grant request coincides
with the grant evaluation criteria in Chapter 4.
Each funding request that is submitted will be taken to the CAB for action in one of two ways.
The request will either be put on the consent agenda, or the CAB will request that an airport
representative present the request to the board at the grant hearing. The CDOA and CAB hold a
11
working session prior to the grant hearing, it is at the working session that each request is
placed on the consent agenda, or selected for presentation to the CAB. Any request that
involves a possible conflict of interest between the applicant and any board member will not be
placed on the consent agenda. If however, a project meets the goals and priorities of the
Colorado aviation system and does not involve a possible conflict it is placed on the CAB’s
consent agenda for the grant hearing.
At the grant hearing the CAB will then take action on each funding request. If funding is
approved, grants are then awarded and moved to the contracting process in Chapter 5.
3.2. Out-of-Cycle Grant Requests
Out of cycle requests are those requests that are submitted outside of the regular grant cycle
described above. The reason for this is to meet the needs of airports that cannot wait for the
annual grant cycle.
Justifications for an out of Cycle Grant Request are in the event of:
o An emergency situation that impacts safety or operations.
o An unanticipated state of affairs that negatively affects an airport and that due
to timing cannot be addressed in the normal cycle.
o The emergence of an opportunity that due to specific timing will provide an
advantage that would otherwise be lost if the grantee waited until the normal
cycle.
o The CAB has discretionary authority to approve or deny any request that comes
before them; any out-of-cycle request can be approved by the discretion of the
CAB.
Each out-of-cycle request is evaluated the same as an in-cycle request. Each out-of-cycle
request will need to use the standard grant application form. Every applicant will work with the
assigned CDOA project manager/contact to ensure the request meets the eligibility
requirements. All out-of-cycle requests require CAB approval.
3.3. Supplemental Funding Requests
A supplemental request is required for additional funding on an existing grant. Supplemental
requests only deal with additional funding. All other requests for change are discussed in
12
Chapter 5. All supplemental requests will need to be presented to the CAB for action. All
supplemental requests will need to fill out the standard Supplemental Funding Request
Application. All supplemental requests that are approved will be handled through a formal
contract amendment, in Chapter 5.
3.4 . Tier Two Funding Requests
In addition to the normal grant program, the Division and the CAB have formalized a process for
grants that do not fit within the framework of the normal grant program. These grants are
referred to as “tier two” grants. The application and review process for these grants are the
same as the traditional grants. The CAB still has complete discretion on whether or not to fund
a specific request. The staff will use the same criteria to review and recommend projects to the
CAB for approval.
The purpose of the second tier funding is to accomplish larger scale, high priority projects that
provide benefit to the state aviation system, but would not be able to be funded within the
framework of the traditional CDAG program (tier one). Tier two funding requests can be made
at any point throughout the year as opportunities present themselves, however when possible
requests should be made during the normal grant cycle. Tier two projects must be identified on
airports CIP’s just like any other funding request. Tier two projects should be the highest
priority of the airport, therefore in most cases there will not be additional grants through the
traditional program for other projects. If the airport is not willing to consolidate into a tier two
grant, the airport should not be requesting additional funding through tier two for a different
project. Tier two funding requests should be made for projects that have a high priority for the
airport and the state system but do not fit within the framework of the normal grant program.
The CAB will determine the amount of funding available for tier two grants on an annual basis.
There is no guarantee that tier two funding will be available each year. Tier two projects will
allow the CAB and Division to accomplish projects that have a high priority and impact to the
state aviation system that would not have been possible under the traditional CDAG program.
13
3.5. Local Match
3.5.1. State and Local Projects
Grant requests should include a local contribution to support the amount of CDAG funds
requested. Local contribution can come in one of two ways, either money or in-kind work.
Historically the CAB likes to see 20% of the project total coming from the grantee and the
remaining 80% would be funded by the CAB. Local match requirements are not dictated by
statute. Although 80/20 is the typical split the CAB has the discretion to approve grants with a
local contribution being less than 20%. Additionally any potential grantee applying for funds
with a larger than 20% local contributions is usually more compelling to both the CDOA and
CAB.
3.5.2. State, Local and FAA Projects
In addition to the CAB funding just state and local projects, it has been a long standing practice
of the CAB to support airports in matching their AIP grants. Currently AIP grants require 5% of
the project total to come from the local sponsor. The CAB supports grants to airports for up to
half of their local match requirement as long as that amount doesn’t exceed the cap set by the
CAB.
3.6. Internship Program
In addition to the traditional CDAG grants the CDOA and CAB supports airports by supporting a
grant funding initiative for interns at Colorado’s publically owned and public use airports. Grant
requests for interns should be requested through the same process as all other CDAG grants. All
potential applicants should anticipate their needs for interns for the upcoming year. The
application should be submitted far enough in advance to allow enough time for CAB action
and the contracting process. The contract effective date must be prior to the start date of the
internship. Included in the application should be a brief outline or syllabus of what the intern
will be exposed to during his/her internship. Costs for the internship grants shall be at least split
50/50 between the applicant and the CDOA, with the CDOA portion not to exceed the current
maximum reimbursable rate as established by the CAB. The current rate is available on the
Division’s web site. The CDOA prefers internship grants to span one year, however if specific
circumstances exist, the CDOA will review them on a case by case basis. Internship grants will
not count against the predetermined cap set by the CAB. Since airports use different schedules
for their internship, there is no defined “cycle” for intern requests. The Division will accept
applications for interns throughout the year, as long as the timing for the intern is reasonable
with the timing of the request.
14
After the intern grant has been awarded by the CAB, the intern selection process is handled
solely by the airport. The potential intern should be either currently enrolled or a recent
graduate of an aviation management, or some reasonable facsimile, baccalaureate program at
an accredited college or university.
The purpose of this CAB and CDOA sponsored funding initiative is to provide airports with
additional manpower with minimal costs to the airport, while training future airport executives.
From the CDOA and CAB perspective it is equally important for both parties, airport and intern,
to benefit from this experience.
3.7. Surplus Equipment Program
With the cooperation of CDOT, DIA, and the CAB, the CDOA coordinates surplus equipment
sales for Colorado public-use airports. Equipment at these sales are offered to Colorado airports
in order to make equipment such as snow plow, mowers, loaders, service vehicles, etc more
affordable.
All Colorado Public-Use airports are eligible to purchase surplus equipment from DIA or CDOT.
At the time of purchase airports are required to sign a Surplus Equipment Program Assurance
Form. This form specifies all applicable assurances and rules associated with the piece of
surplus equipment that was purchased.
Colorado Public-Use airports are eligible to receive CDOA grant funds to purchase surplus
airport equipment when such a program has been approved by the CAB. When a surplus grant
program is available, participating airports will receive a grant agreement from the CDOA. The
grant agreement will need to be signed by the responsible airport sponsor or manager and
returned to the CDOA for reimbursement of a specified portion of the equipment purchased
from DIA or CDOT. The surplus equipment grants will not count against the CAB cap.
3.8. Aviation Education Program
The Colorado Aeronautical Board and the Division of Aeronautics are tasked with administering
aviation grant funds collected from tax on aviation fuel sold in the State of Colorado. One
element of that program is to support aviation education. Aviation education is defined as
programs, projects and or initiatives that improve or enrich aviation within the Colorado
aviation community and can include among others, programs for professionals within aviation,
15
pilots, students transitioning into an aviation career, K – 12 students and educators. Education
grantees desiring recurring grant awards will be required to maintain a 5 year grant funding
plan with the Division, as described in Chapter 4 in this Manual.
The education funds will be apportioned under two categories.
The first will be internships as defined in and administered under section 3.5 of the Division’s
Discretionary Grant Program Manual.
The second will be all other education programs including but not limited to the education of
aviation professionals and outreach to K-12 students and educators.
Level of funding for internships will be considered and approved each year based upon the
internship requests and available funds.
The level of funding for all aviation education programs will be reviewed and established
annually by the Board to determine appropriate levels. The Division staff currently submits a
general program funding level to the Board annually, for consideration and approval.
Henceforth it will also submit for approval a separate funding level proposal specific to
education.
4. Grant Evaluation Criteria
4.1. Capital Improvement Program
Annually Colorado airports are eligible to receive FAA AIP and/or CDAG funds to assist in
developing and maintaining their facilities. To put these funds to the best possible long-term
use, airports are requested to participate in the CIP process with the assistance of the CDOA
staff. The CIP is a five year plan which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases,
provides a planning schedule and identifies options for financing the plan. Essentially, the plan
provides a link between the airport, the State and FAA for budget planning purposes.
The CIP process starts with a letter and a copy of the most recent CIP being sent to the airport
usually in the spring of the year.
The contents of this section will include the benefits of the CIP process, contents of the CIP, the
overall process and the specific steps.
Benefits
The CIP process provides many benefits including:
16
• Allowing for a systematic evaluation of all potential projects at the same time
• The ability to review projects statewide for trends and possible economies of scale
• Review of projects for meeting the goals of the system
• The ability to assist with the prioritization of projects to maximize funding
• To budget the needs of airports with the funds available
• Focus on preserving the airports infrastructure while ensuring the efficient use of state
funds
Contents
The CIP typically includes the following information:
• A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased.
• The projects ranked in order of preference.
• The plan for financing the projects.
• A timetable for the construction or completion of the project.
Overall Process
Prior to undertaking the development of the CIP, the airport will want to define the criteria for
what kind of projects or equipment are to be included. What is defined as a capital project or
capital purchase may vary from airport to airport depending on the size of the airport.
Generally, they will be tangible items that have a life expectancy greater than one year.
An airport will also need to forecast where it believes it will face future demands and growth,
which will involve an inventory of existing facilities, infrastructure and equipment. Because the
CIP includes financing issues, the airport will want to ensure their financial personnel are
involved in the process.
Specific Steps
1. CIP and letter sent to airports
2. Marked up CIP’s returned to the Division and the FAA
3. CIP reviewed with internal staff and FAA
4. CIP projects are evaluated against funding available and airport needs
5. Projects are prioritized
6. Discussion and correspondence with airports about their CIP’s
7. Updated CIP’s are returned to the airports
8. Update Existing/Ongoing Capital Programs
4.2. Strategic Grantmaking
The purpose of Strategic grantmaking is to ensure that the grants given out by the CDOA
address the previously established goals and priorities of the Colorado aviation system, as
established in the most recent CASP. By addressing the goals and needs of the Colorado
aviation system, we are able to obtain a measurable and tangible benefit of the CDAG program.
The needs of the Colorado Aviation System are constantly growing and changing, and always
17
exceeding the amount of funding available. With strategic grant making we will be able
maximize our grant investment in the system.
One of the highest priorities of the CDOA and the CAB is to have the dollars granted out each
year directly link to at least one of the statewide system goals in the CASP. By linking as many
grants as possible to a specific goal or need we are able to measure how our investment has
moved the system forward. The discretionary grant program was designed for airports to ask
for money that would address airport specific needs and or goals. Through the process of
strategic grantmaking we will be able to address the needs of the airports, as the grant program
was intended to do, and also ensure that the statewide Colorado aviation system is meeting the
demands of its users.
Strategic grantmaking is one of the criteria for evaluating grant applications. Through the
evaluation process it will be determined how the requested project will help meet statewide
system goals, or how this will help continue to meet a goal that has been previously achieved. It
is very important for the grant applicant to be aware that their grant will be evaluated not only
on how the requested project will benefit them, but what type of statewide benefit it will
provide to the system. The CDOA has not and will not dictate what the local airports request in
forms of grants, but the CDOA has the responsibility to make sure the money in the grant
program is being used in a responsible and efficient manner. Strategic grantmaking will provide
a link between the local need and the benefit to the state aviation system by addressing both
unmet needs at the same time.
Grants that do not directly tie to a goal of the state aviation system will still be considered for
funding by the CDOA and CAB. Strategic grantmaking is just one of the steps in the evaluation
process; the CAB always has the discretion to fund any project that comes before them, as long
as it meets statutory requirements for eligibility and is a high priority for the airport sponsor.
The CASP provides a great overview of the goals, priorities and objectives for the Colorado
aviation system, however it does not or could not possibly address every situation that could
arise. That is why it is a high priority for the CDOA and CAB for grant projects to have a link to
the goals of the CASP, but the CAB always has discretionary authority which gives them the
flexibility to be able to provide our customers with the highest level of service possible. As part
of our Annual Report process, we will demonstrate to the Colorado General Assembly how the
grant dollars have helped improve the Colorado aviation system.
4.3. PCI
The FAA requires airports to have a Pavement Management Plan in order to be eligible for AIP funds. A
large component of such a plan is PCI. The CDOA provides this service for all paved publically owned
18
airports, excluding DIA, and all paved privately owned but publically accessible airports that
have a functional role of major or intermediate. Airport functional roles can be found in the
most recent CASP. The FAA requires an inspection and report every three years. The CDOA performs
PCI inspections and generates PCI reports. This report is provided to each airport, the FAA Denver
Airports District Office, while one is retained by the Division.
This report includes pavement inventory, condition, and suggested maintenance. This is one of
the elements used in the decision making process for grant request. This report is not intended
to be a formula. There are numerous other factors used in the evaluation of grant requests.
This data is used to confirm pavement project justification, size, and comparative value only as
one component of a multifaceted decision making process.
4.4. Historical Performance
As discussed previously in 2.1.5 the CDOA tracks and measures the expenditures of grants. Over
each 12 month period after the notice to proceed was issued the CDOA tracks how much
money was spent until the grant is closed. If an airport has a number of open grants with little
or no activity and is requesting additional funding, this information may be considered
negatively by the CDOA during the application evaluation process.
In addition to lack of activity on existing grants, the CDOA also tracks the timely submission of
fuel tax reporting. Airports are required to fill out a fuel tax report on a monthly basis by the
25
th
of the month after the month being reported. The fuel tax report will allow the CDOA to
reimburse airports their portion of the fuel tax. If airports are delinquent in filing their fuel tax
form, this will also be taken into consideration when those airports request a grant. For more
information on the fuel tax reimbursement process please see our web site at http://colorado-
aeronautics.org/aerofueltax.htm
4.5. Education Grant Priorities
The following priorities will be used (not necessarily in the following order) in evaluating grant
applications for education funds:
• Programs having K-12 education programming as an objective
• Education and training for aviation professionals.
• Programs with statewide geographical and broad demographic reach.
• Organizations demonstrating the capability of becoming locally sustainable.
19
• Grant requests from not-for-profit organizations
• The quality and completeness of the submission and how it quantifies and impacts the
program.
• The extent to which a funded program measures and validates its anticipated success
will be a consideration for future grant approval.
Education grant application acceptance and processing will be accomplished within the same
grant process utilized for all other discretionary grants. The Division Staff will be responsible for
accepting and evaluating each grant application and then making a recommendation to the
Board for its consideration.
This chapter is intended as a guide to direct the application and administration of grant
requests. This chapter does not limit The Colorado Aeronautical Board’s authority. The Board
maintains the authority to make discretionary decisions in all matters.
5. Grant Contracting Process
5.1. Grant Agreement
All grants given by the CDOA will go through the same contracting process. After approval of a
grant by the CAB a letter will be sent to the grant recipient with 3 copies of the grant
agreement and a resolution inviting the CDOA and CAB to participate in the community and
allowing the project director authority over the project. The agreement must be signed by the
appropriate party according to the State Controller’s office. In most cases the agreement must
be signed by the chair or vice-chair of the governing body or their designee. These
requirements are included in the letter that accompanies the agreements.
After all 3 copies of the grant agreement and resolution are signed by the appropriate party
they are to be sent back to the CDOA Grants Administrator for processing. If there are any
issues with the contract they will be sent back to the sponsor/Project Director at that time.
After reviewing the agreements for completeness the agreements are then signed by the CDOA
Director and a representative of the State Controller. Following final execution of the contract
one copy is retained by CDOT Accounting, one by the CDOA, and the third copy is returned to
the airport with a Notice to Proceed letter.
20
5.2. Grant Amendments
Modifications to grants will occur for a variety of reasons. Changes to a grant will fall under one
of three categories; scope of work changes, budget modifications, and extensions of contracts.
All three of these categories will be resolved with a formal grant amendment.
Scope of Work changes or budget modifications that do not require additional funding and are
consistent with the original scope of work may be handled administratively without CAB action.
All grant agreements are good for three years. In the event that the contract term needs to be
extended beyond three years, an amendment can be issued with justification. This
modification can be handled administratively by the CDOA staff.
Much like the original grant agreements, 3 copies of the grant amendment will be sent to the
sponsor. After being signed by the appropriate party all 3 copies need to be returned to the
Division for the same routing as the original contract. After final execution of the amendment
an amendment executed letter will be returned to the sponsor with their copy of the grant
amendment.
6. Grant Administration
6.1. Notice to Proceed
After the notice to proceed has been sent by our office, the grantee is now able to start work
on the project. All purchases and contracting for the work to be done, is handled directly
between the airport and vendor/contractor. Airports must follow their own purchasing rules
and regulations.
6.2. Requests for Reimbursement
All CDAG grant funds are expended on a reimbursement basis, meaning the grantee is
responsible for covering the upfront cost of the work. As the work is completed, expenses
incurred by the grantee are eligible for reimbursement. The reimbursement process starts with
the grantee filling out the Aviation Claim for Costs Incurred form. After the form has been
completed and all supporting documentation of the incurred expenses has been attached, it
can be sent to the CDOA for processing. CDOA will reimburse the costs incurred at the same
percentage rate as what the CDOA/local share of the grant is. For example If CDOA granted
$40,000 to an airport with their local match being $10,000, this would be an 80/20 grant
21
meaning CDOA is paying for 80% and the remaining 20% is coming from the grantee. Therefore
during the reimbursement process the CDOA will reimburse the costs incurred at a rate of 80%
up to the not to exceed grant amount.
6.3. Project Close Out
At the completion of each project, the grantee is required to fill out a Project Completion &
Acceptance Certificate. This is a self certification document stating that the work has been
completed as agreed upon and that there are no more costs associated with the grant. The
Project Completion & Acceptance Certificate should be submitted with the final request for
reimbursement. If there are any funds remaining in the grant after the project has been
completed, those funds will be liquidated and returned to the aviation fund.
Appendix
A: Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for a Discretionary Aviation Grant?
If you operate a FAA designated public use airport you are eligible for a grant. Grants
must be used for aviation purposes only. See Chapter 1 for more detail.
How do I apply for a Grant?
During the normal grant cycle the CDOA will solicit grant applications from the public
use airports in Colorado. See Chapter 3 for more detail.
How much local match is required?
There is no rule or statute that dictates a local requirement, however the CAB has
unwritten policy that 20% of the project total should come from the grantee. See Chapter 3 for
more detail.
Why do I have to present my request to the CAB?
On occasion the CAB likes to hear from grant applicants regarding the grant that is being
requested. Typically the CAB will ask for a presentation for one of three reasons. A potential
22
conflict of interest exists between a CAB member and the grant applicant, the CDOA staff does
not recommend the project, or the CAB is just interested and would like to hear more about
your request. See Chapter 3 for more detail.
Why does our sponsor need to sign a resolution?
Included in the CDOA and CAB enabling legislation, it is required that the local
communities invite the CDOA and CAB into their communities. The resolution acts as the
invitation for financial support from the CAB.
Do I have to bid my project?
It depends, once a grant has been issued by the CDOA, it is up to the grantee to follow
all local purchasing rules and regulations. The CDOA and CAB do not have any requirements on
how the goods or services are procured as long as the local rules of the grantee are followed.
See Chapter 6 for more detail.
How many request for reimbursement forms do I need to fill out?
The CDOA only needs one signed Aviation Claim for Costs Incurred form filled out. See
Chapter 6 for more detail.
Can I receive my reimbursement via electronic transfer?
Yes, please contact the CDOA for more information regarding electronic fund transfers.
How long is the grant good for?
Each grant is given a three year life span. If for some reason the work is not completed
within that time an amendment can be issued. See Chapter 5 for more detail.
If there is money left in my grant can I use it for something else?
No, grant dollars can only be used for what the CAB approved. See Chapter 5 for more
detail.

in accordance with the provisions of this Grant. Grantee shall initiate any payment requests by
submitting invoices to the State in the form and manner set forth and approved by the State. Grant
Funds remaining following the completion and approval of the Work or the termination/expiration of
the Grant will be returned to the State.
ii. Interest
The State shall fully pay each invoice within 45 days of receipt thereof if the amount invoiced
represents performance by Grantee previously accepted by the State. Uncontested amounts not paid
by the State within 45 days may, if Grantee so requests, bear interest on the unpaid balance
beginning on the 46th day at a rate not to exceed one percent per month until paid in full; provided,
however, that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that are subject to a good faith dispute.

iii. Available Funds-Contingency-Termination
The State is prohibited by law from making fiscal commitments beyond the term of the State’s

of State appropriations as provided in the Colorado Special Provisions, set forth below. If federal
funds are used with this Grant in whole or in part, the State’s performance hereunder is contingent
upon the continuing availability of such funds. Payments pursuant to this Grant shall be made only
from available funds encumbered for this Grant and the State’s liability for such payments shall be
limited to the amount remaining of such encumbered funds. If State or federal funds are not
appropriated, or otherwise become unavailable to fund this Grant, the State may immediately
terminate this Grant in whole or in part without further liability in accordance with the provisions
herein.
iv. Erroneous Payments
At the State’s sole discretion, payments made to Grantee in error for any reason, including, but not
limited to overpayments or improper payments, and unexpended or excess funds received by
Grantee, may be recovered from Grantee by deduction from subsequent payments under this Grant
or other Grants, grants or agreements between the State and Grantee or by other appropriate methods
and collected as a debt due to the State. Such funds shall not be paid to any person or entity other
than the State.
v. Retroactive Payments
The State shall pay Grantee for costs or expenses incurred or performance by the Grantee prior to the
Effective Date, only if (1) the Grant Funds involve federal funding and (2) federal laws, rules and
regulations applicable to the Work provide for such retroactive payments to the Grantee. Any such
retroactive payments shall comply with State Fiscal Rules and be made in accordance with the
provisions of this Grant or any Exhibit. Grantee shall initiate any payment requests by submitting
invoices to the State in the form and manner set forth and approved by the State.
C. Use of Funds

B. Notice and Cure Period
In the event of a breach, notice of such shall be given in writing by the aggrieved Party to the other Party in
the manner provided in §16. If such breach is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice, or if a
cure cannot be completed within 30 days, or if cure of the breach has not begun within 30 days and pursued
with due diligence, the State may exercise any of the remedies set forth in §15. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the State, in its sole discretion, need not provide advance notice or a cure period and
may immediately terminate this Grant in whole or in part if reasonably necessary to preserve public safety
or to prevent immediate public crisis.
15. REMEDIES
If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant, the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this
§15 in addition to all other remedies set forth in other sections of this Grant following the notice and cure period
set forth in §14(B), provided however, that the State may terminate this Grant pursuant to §15(B) without a
breach. The State may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion, concurrently or
consecutively.
A. Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure its
completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may notify
Grantee of such non-performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter fails to
promptly cure such non-performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may terminate this
entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to properly perform.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations hereunder. Grantee shall
continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
i. Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or render
further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate outstanding
orders and subcontracts with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver to the State all
Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the termination notice and may incur obligations as are
necessary to do so within this Grant’s terms. At the sole discretion of the State, Grantee shall assign to
the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated orders or subgrants. Upon
termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to protect and preserve
property in the possession of Grantee in which the State has an interest. All materials owned by the
State in the possession of Grantee shall be immediately returned to the State. All Work Product, at the
option of the State, shall be delivered by Grantee to the State and shall become the State’s property.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of termination. If, after
termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach or that Grantee's action or
inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest and the
rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if this Grant had been terminated in the public
interest, as described herein.
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the State
for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by Grantee and the
State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the State’s damages, until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Grantee is determined. The State may
withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the State deems necessary to protect the State,
including loss as a result of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse the State
for the excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable for excess
costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacement Work, Services or substitute
Goods as cover.
B. Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Grant for the purpose of carrying out the public policy of the State of
Colorado, as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or courts. If this Grant ceases to further
the public policy of the State, the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole or in part.

Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State’s obligations hereunder. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or breach by Grantee, which
shall be governed by §15(A) or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Grantee of such termination in accordance with §16. The notice shall specify the
effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a portion of this Grant.
ii. Obligations and Rights
Upon receipt of a termination notice, Grantee shall be subject to and comply with the same obligations
and rights set forth in §15(A)(i).
iii. Payments
If this Grant is terminated by the State pursuant to this §15(B), Grantee shall be paid an amount which
bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services satisfactorily
performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse Grantee for a portion
of actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Grant) incurred by Grantee
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of Grantee’s obligations hereunder; provided
that the sum of any and all reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable to Grantee
hereunder.
C. Remedies Not Involving Termination
The State, in its sole discretion, may exercise one or more of the following remedies in addition to other
remedies available to it:
i. Suspend Performance
Suspend Grantee’s performance with respect to all or any portion of this Grant pending necessary
corrective action as specified by the State without entitling Grantee to an adjustment in price/cost or
performance schedule. Grantee shall promptly cease performance and incurring costs in accordance
with the State’s directive and the State shall not be liable for costs incurred by Grantee after the
suspension of performance under this provision.
ii. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee’s performance are satisfactorily made and
completed.
iii. Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee’s actions or inactions, cannot
be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any denial of payment
shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not performed.
iv. Removal
Demand removal of any of Grantee’s employees, agents, or Subgrantees whom the State deems
incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable, or whose continued
relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the State’s best interest.
v. Intellectual Property
If Grantee infringes on a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right
while performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State’s option (a) obtain for the
State or Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services, or other
product involved with non-infringing products or modify them so that they become non-infringing; or,
(c) if neither of the foregoing alternatives are reasonably available, remove any infringing Goods,
Services, or products and refund the price paid therefore to the State.

I. GENERAL
This manual was produced as a guide in establishing and carrying out a
collegiate internship program for the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport. The
internship functions and activities described in this manual are intended to
provide an all around introduction to professional airport management and
operations at a public use large general aviation airport. Where possible,

benefit by gaining actual experience and exposure to the operational functions of
a public airport, while the airport will benefit by gaining an enthusiastic worker
who wants to learn as much as possible in this specific area. The aviation
industry and the people of Colorado will benefit by the enhancement of the
education and preparation of the people who will be the future airport operators
of Colorado.
This manual follows at a minimum, the Airport Internship curriculum published by the
Colorado Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division, and the recommendations
of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
II. WORK RESPONSIBILITIES
The intern’s work duties will be directly related to the operation of the airport, and
will involve both inside and outside work. Work duties will generally include
airport management functions, airfield operations, airport maintenance activities
(including operation of maintenance equipment) airport finance and budgeting,
marketing and promotions, aircraft rescue and fire fighting, and special projects.
While the intern will work directly for the Airport Manager, he/she may routinely
