C.                             CY05 Construction:

 

1.         BCA Work:   MWH is presently conducting some limited winter well sampling under traffic.  Well development operations including drilling in the vicinity of Haven Well are expected to begin on January 31, 2005 and last for 1-2 weeks.  This operation will require wingspan restrictions on Taxiway B, and will be closely coordinated with Airport Operations to minimize impact on aircraft operations and snow removal.

 

2.         Taxiway A OFA:    The project is in winter shutdown and will resume in the spring in late March to early April.  Some work in the lighting vault is expected during the winter months.   This should have no impact on aircraft operations

 

3.                  Jetbridge GPU/HVAC:  The pre-conditioned air unit has been mounted and the installation is continuing. Technicians will be inspecting the unit next Tuesday.  Airport Operations will schedule training for operations and maintenance personnel between next Tuesday and next Thursday. Moulison is aiming to have the unit operational by January 25, 2005.

 

4.                  General Aviation Apron Reconstruction:  There are two upcoming meetings with the General Aviation tenants to discuss the project and Airport Operations will also meet with each of the FBO’s.  The reconstruction project is expected to begin in the spring and continue through the summer.  Some segments of the construction project may include satellite parking arrangements during some segments of the construction project.

 

5.         NHANG:   NHANG CE will likely be making repairs to the north infield access road in the spring.

 

6.         Sound Insulation Project: Designs are being reviewed with homeowners for final approval.  The completed designs will then be put out to bid. The grant application will be submitted by May 1st, 2005.

 

 

D.              Airport Maintenance:  PDA Maintenance plans to continue snow removal operations as necessary.

  

E.               Wildlife:  Wildlife activity has been relatively light over the last week.  There were no strikes, but there were some snowy owl sightings as well as several red fox sightings and one landside deer sighting outside the fence.

 

F.               Security:   The Homeland Security threat level remains at yellow. 

                 

                  There was another security incident at P1 pedestrian gate.  It was found unlatched. At this time the gate is secured with a lock and chain and a sign is posted instructing users to call Airport Operations for access.  We apologize for the inconvenience and are looking into a permanent solution to put the gate into general access.

                 

                 The security and ground vehicle training classes will be held every Tuesday @ 0900L in the Airport Management Conference Room.    

                  Please remember to call and make an appointment for badge, vehicle sticker, fingerprinting or other airfield access issues.
