Overview:
Projects must be listed on the CIP in order to be eligible for funding, although placing a project in the CIP does not guarantee funding.On or before October 30, 2012, please mail your update
to
your regional team member.
The Capital Improvement Program is used to plan and program for the construction of projects that will develop and preserve the publicly-owned system of Minnesota airports. There are 135 publicly-owned airports in Minnesota. 97 airports qualify for federal funding. Eligible projects include planning, land acquisition, paving, lighting, navigational aids, obstruction removal, equipment purchase, fencing, noise mitigation, and other needs. Each year more projects are identified than are funded. The CIP update cycle begins with the annual collection of data from each airport sponsor regarding capital improvement projects they plan to deliver within the next 5 years. These projects are then prioritized statewide for state and federal funding.
MnDOT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
- Solicit CIP update information from airport sponsors.
- Review the submitted plan to assure funding eligibility, realistic cost estimate, and reasonable implementation time line.
- Maintain the statewide CIP data base.
- Coordinate with the FAA for federally-eligible airports.
- Prioritize projects within available funding.
Update Your CIP:
A "PDF Reader" is needed to view and print many of the documents. To download a free Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader click here.
All Projects
- Submit 5 year CIP with changes.
- Include month and year of anticipated project. This will allow MnDOT to identify fiscal year.
- Include month and year of anticipated project. This will allow MnDOT to identify fiscal year.
CIP Preparation Resources:
Below are the CIP preparation resources. First print a copy of your CIP, the fiscal year calendar and a sketch of your airport. If you have questions call the regional team member for your airport.
- CIP Update Request Letter
- Copy of your CIP Report
- Fiscal Year Calendar
- Sketch of your Airport
- State Project Time Line
- Airport Map with Engineering Service Regions
- Potential Airport Projects Work Sheet
- CIP Guide, "Shaping Your Airport's Future"
- Forms
Programming a Federal Project:
When the sponsor determines that they intend to apply for a federal grant for a project included in the ACIP, the next step is to program the project. The Minneapolis ADO - Web Resources page contains information necessary for programming a federal project.
Sponsors must submit two copies of federal programming forms to MnDOT, Office of Aeronautics. These forms must be received by January 15 for the year funds are sought for the project.

Accuracy of Report:
This report reflects a snapshot of the State Wide Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Public Airports in Minnesota as of December 10, 2012. The actual CIP data base changes continually as projects come under contract, change scope, or are abandoned. In addition the availability of State and Federal funding varies. Although listing a project in the CIP is the first step toward funding, that funding is not guaranteed for the projects listed. Each year more projects are identified than are funded.
Column Definitions:
- State FY - Determined by MnDOT based on estimated construction start date (below).
- Federal FY - Determined by MnDOT based on estimated construction start date (below).
- Description - A brief description of the work items to be included in the project.
- Funding Rates - The rate at which the different funding agencies can participate financially in the project. (FAA) Federal funds may be provided at 90% of the project cost. (St) State funds may be provided at 80%, 70%, 66%, or 50%, depending on the airport classification and the type of project. (Mun) Municipal or Airport Sponsor funds make up the remainder of the funds needed for the project.
- Project Cost - The total estimated cost of the project including construction, engineering and administration.
- FAA Funding - The dollar value of FAA funds estimated to be requested for the project.
- State Funding - The dollar value of State funds estimated to be requested for the project.
- Local Funding - The dollar value of Municipal or Airport Sponsor funds estimated to be needed for the project.
