Develop new pavement plan/conduct pavement study

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Western Pacific Region awarded Contra Costa County Airports' Buchanan Field Airport Division a $212,347.37 project grant on September 3, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds the development of a comprehensive new pavement management plan and the conduct of an associated pavement study for the airport. This planning-phase project, scheduled for completion by September 2, 2029, will provide the technical foundation and strategic framework necessary for informed decision-making regarding airport pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital improvement prioritization at Buchanan Field Airport in Concord, California.

As a planning and development project under the Airport Improvement Program, this grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by enabling the airport sponsor to assess current pavement conditions, project future infrastructure needs, and establish a systematic approach to asset management. The resulting pavement management plan will inform long-term capital planning and maintenance budgets for the airport's airfield pavement infrastructure, supporting the continued safe and efficient operation of this public-use airport facility.
