**Airport Grant Performance Management History will score an airport sponsor on the proper state grant management including, but not limited to-promptness, accuracy, grant activity, and compliance with state grant assurance articles. Additionally, if an airport sponsor is declared in non-compliance with federal or state laws, regulations, rules or policies by the FAA, Louisiana Legislative Auditor, or DOTD within the previous fiscal year, the airport sponsor shall not be eligible to receive points in this category. Grant discrepancies will be recorded by the Operations Program. The timeframe for review will be over the prior two years of grant performance based on the state's fiscal year.

*Special Program-Certain types of projects mandated by Federal or State law or identified in a policy decision by DOTD. For example, if the EPA requires a certain kind of wash down facility, it could be given added priority with bonus points. DOTD may place emphasis on a particular type of project, e.g., hazard removal around the state, subsequent phase of a project continuation, project supported and encouraged by the Louisiana Airport System Plan, these types of projects could receive Special Program points.

**Economic Development-Clearly demonstrated impact on economic development in an industrial airpark or around the airport locale. For example, a taxiway to open industrial airpark access would get bonus points, but a taxiway to a T-Hangar area would not. A runway project to accommodate corporate aircraft would need to be thoroughly documented that it was a major factor in the location of the business. To receive bonus points in this category an economic impact study may be required, the cost of which is the responsibility of the airport owner.

***Airport Sponsor Local Funding Contribution- Airport Sponsors that clearly demonstrate their intention of providing local financial support for a project through documentation via a resolution shall receive incentive points toward a single project request in accordance with the following criteria:

For every percent that an airport sponsor contributes to the total amount of the project (including all phases of the project) in accordance with the airport construction and development priority program, 1 point will be awarded for percentages between .02 percent - .08 percent and will be calculated as 0.2 percent = 1 point;

0.4 percent = 2 points; 0.6 percent = 3 points; 0.8 percent = 4 points;

For every percentage point from 1 percent to 50 percent, beginning at 1 percent = 10 points and 1 point thereafter will be awarded for each percentage. For example-if an airport is requesting a $500,000 total project, and contributes 0.6 percent or ($3,000), then the project will be awarded 3 points toward the total project score. Another example is, if an airport is requesting a $500,000 project and contributes 12 percent ($60,000), then the project will be awarded 21 points toward the total project score.

****Airports that elect to and are approved to participate in the GAAC Pilot Program will be eligible for points awarded under this category in accordance with the GAAC Pilot Program.
