FR FEEDBACK FROM 9/18/18 ‐ SUMMARY • Concerns regarding w ildlife • Hydroseed mix of perennial grasses was selected to minimize attractiveness to wildlife and has been used at other airports with no reported issues • Potential soil contaminat ion • Manufacturing operations did not occur in the work areas (old runway); additionally, excavation is limited to just the pavement structural section and soil disturbance will be minimal • Other stated comments were primarily related to issues a lready heard by Council during the runway s hortening project 12
FR FEEDBACK FROM 9/18/18 – RSA • Concerns regarding the s cope of work within the RSA & depth of rem ova l • S u m m a r y • At the 9/26/17 Council meeting, Council directed staff to replace excess airfield pavement with hydroseed, pulverize and stabilize the RSA pavement and return with next steps consistent with safety and the Consent Decree. Since the 9/26/17 meeting • The FAA maintains that the current RSA pavement satisfies FAA standards. • The FAA objects to using airport revenue to fund proposed RSA work because it would serve no aeronautical purpose and would not advance the interests of aviation safety or airport operations. • It is staff’s understanding that funding the RSA work with airport revenue would be inconsistent with the terms of the Consent Decree. 13
FR FEEDBACK FROM 9/18/18 – RSA • The bid document s include a n alternative bid to remove the entire structural s ection within the RSA • RSA work is depende nt upon Council direction 14
